I am so pissed off with him last night that I had to scream at him while having our dinner (if I still have those cupcakes with buttercream, I’ll throw them onto his face!)
Since the day I started to bake a few years back, I have been telling myself that I would one day want [...]
By having my new oven this year, I am so tempted to bake, bake and bake for the Chinese New Year celebration (don’t care if the boys cries echo behind!, *sweating and panting*
See my first attempt of Bak Kua (dried meat). No need to grill on charcoal. I just used my oven to bake them. [...]
Although the boys are now moving into their 7th month, I have yet to start “double-boil” (hehe…so ambitious..) their porridge. Will only do so once we settle down from travelling after the CNY.
It is so difficult to find organic baby cereal these days. Yesterday while hunting for one in 1U (where I bought the Holle [...]
These 2 weeks will be very busy for me. Since Audrey will be here to accompany (helping, actually) me to bake, we decided that we will bake all our CNY this year. After sending her boys to school, she comes over to my place, and even shopped for all the baking ingredients for me. Such [...]
We had a mad rush again yesterday afternoon. While one of the boy was sleeping (another one with Kakak screaming behind), QQ and I quickly start out to work.
Things 4-yr-old QQ could do to help me during baking:
sieve the flour
roll the pastry
cut and stamp the pastry
So, I only have to
measure ingredients
mix the flour and Planta [...]
I was so afraid that I might fall sick again, and guess what, I am down with bad flu again. My body is so weak after the confinement and whenever any of the kids at home fall sick, I will surely get their bugs. Even today, someone told me that I have got a very [...]
Happy Winter Solstice
Big white ones are with fillings. I bought them. Lazy to pound the ingredients. Little pink ones, are plain and rolled by QQ. This balls are our breakfast in the morning.
While hubby was doing marketing in the morning, he was shocked to see that the price of vege doubled up! It could be [...]
Miche’s Nyonya Tarts
CNY is around the corner again, and this time I will to bake REAL Melaka Nyonya Pineapple tarts. Although the pineapple jam can be bought easily from bakery shops, I tell you, they do not taste as nice as compare to the Melaka Nyonya homemade ones.
I have called several Pineapple tarts maker from [...]
De Bumbo Boys @ 5 months 2 weeks
Like any other new mummy, I am so eager and excited to start my twin boys on solid. Even though this is the 2nd time introducing solid to new baby, I am still very excited. But when I think of this would be my last round of having [...]
Oh, I think we celebrate Dongzhi a few times in a year
QQ loves to eat Glutinous Rice Balls (Tang Yuen), just like me. She can really eat a lot when I cook them in Gula Melaka (coconut sugar) syrup. And best of all, she knows how to roll them herself now. All I [...]
Although I hardly do any bento now, I have almost completed my bento kits collection over the months.
Lunch boxes: Kitty Face & My Melody, Mickey & Friends.
So far, QQ only brought bread to school with her lunch boxes. Prefer bigger box as I can place more variety of foods into the container.
Egg mould shape: Kitty, [...]
Poor heavy hippo here is so restless waiting for the arrival of the boys until she has nothing to do everyday except gluing herself to the computer and this!
Since I so “wu liao” (in Mandarin said got nothing better to do now), this is what I come out with for her meals at home with [...]
Kitty toast
Due to some “bento” craze around, I finally get hold of some of the cute little kits, thanks for offer from Chooi Peng. I would say these plastic kits are really over priced, what’s more if we buy them locally. Buying them directly from Japan can be so much cheaper, but it is really [...]
Teacher: Do you know today we will be making burger?
Me: Oh, really? This girl did not tell me.
And she came home in the afternoon with this:
QQ: Ma, this is so easy to make. Just put the layers of egg, some vege and tomato onto the bread.
QQ: Yum….burger I made taste so nice, unlike [...]
See what I found when we went back to hubby’s hometown this time?
It may be just a junk or a useless stone for most, but to me, it is a passed down treasure
Unlike modern blenders, I prefer the taste of traditional pounded food, especially chilli as it is more smooth and even. Furthermore, [...]
