my sis in toronto, so she's out of the picture. I think my aunt's bros & sis (incl my dad) will give her the $$ for monthly allowance, and she will use that to buy food.

pixie,
i enjoy eating bak kwa too but too much i will sure sore throat. I saw long Q at Clementi for bak kwa - http://sg.88db.com/sg/Services/Post_Detail.page/food_entertainment/hawker_food/?PostID=198576
i tasted b4, not bad 7.5/10 for soft soft type - pick the mince pork instead of sliced.
Now CNY price is $39/kg for mince pork & $41/kg for sliced pork. Definitely taste better than bee cheng hiang (BCH = cannot make it cos meat is dry & hard!)
i wonder how much is Lim Chee Guan selling per kg now? any idea?

wendy, i think got mentioned before...in AMK, opp a CC, forgot ave number liao...
crystal, last yr good hor...but did you realised every yr getting harder and harder?
in the end i got hokee at east coast rd. sliced pork, not minced. so a tad bit tough. but gosh! the meat sort of melts in your mouth within 5 seconds you savour that. then you slowly chew, got juices one leh, and u get the smoky smell of the charcoal...then the meat gets softer and softer...but a bit too salty for me liking...but all in all, good job! the marinate was not distributed evenly at some places, but that was only like 20% of it, so negligible bah

hi mummies!
just back from HK. conclusion? TIRING!
my comments:
1) Hotel - stayed at Langham place, 2nd time staying there, a bit pricey but it's worth it!! Very baby friendly - baby cot, baby toiletries(johnsons baby shampoo, bath, powder, lotion) provided for free
AND THEY EVEN HAVE A BABY MENU ON THE ROOM SERVICE MENU!!! (for children under 3)
2) if you're going HK make sure yr baby can either walk or willing to sit stroller. Mine can't do both and I was stuck carrying her all day.
3) We went to Disneyland and Ocean park. Personally prefered Disneyland. Ocean park is wayyy to spread out and time consuming. plus a lot of nonsense non ocean related stuff, quite waste of time
4) Food - had some trouble finding appropriate food for my bb cos find the food in HK all very oily and salty. Unless u eat those chinese restaurant type everyday where can order plain porridge and steamed fish. Otherwise, bring slow cooker and just stop at the supermarket for fresh food on the 1st day.
5) Flight - took the morning flight both on the way there and back so that it coincides with my bb nap time. She slept on the plane one and half hr so the flight was over in no time.
mom2nat,
i just started a nail salon. pixie went to try so some of the mummies just talking about it. it's at siglap area =)

hey, topic for today: tell us your fav joke, or share with us a joke...time will pass faster this way.
here's mine:
The new monk is assigned to copy the old texts by hand. Noticing that he'll be copying from copies and not from original manuscripts, he tells the elderly monk "if there was an error in the first copy, that error will be continued in the subsequent copies."
The elderly monk agrees and decide to go to the cellar with a copy to check against the original. Hours goes by and nobody sees him. Concerned, the other monks went in search of the elderly and found him in a corner of the cellar, leaning over one of the original books, wailing. Looking up, he sobs "the word is celebrate"

maybe i didn't pay attn.. or maybe coz they didn't employ Zoe Tay/ Sharon Ou to model their bak kwa.... haha. They are the type with only 1 outlet, like LCG? Not like BCH, so many outlets all over the island, more convenient to buy.
LCG... i hv no business @ Chinatown also... no point go all the way there to buy. Anyway for me, i dunno how to appreciate (like pixie), so i eat any type also the same la. If the meat very tough, at most i dun eat lor.
