Tell your maid to soak the rice for one hour before cooking, like that will have gluey texture. Tell maid must stir the porridge once in a while during the cooking process.
Taste wise, if can Kai is not allergic to scallop, buy those small dried scallop (about size of 5 cents coin) to cook with porridge. Some even put dried oysters. Ikan bilis powder is another alternative.
Use pork or chicken stock to make the porridge.
The rest is up to you liao. want add chicken, fish slice or pork also can.

Mrs Teng,
Thanks for sharing. My porridge never ever became gluey like the HK style congee tat my Cantonese in-laws cook. My hb always joke tat it is becoz I am teochew so cook teochew porridge style, can see the grains. lolx.
As for the fondant, do I just take out from the box and start moulding? And wat abt the colours if I want to have some variations? Thanks =)

Thanks for the compliments... still got a long way to go..
MummyNana
you probably need to add a bid of corn starch or icing sugar to rub to the right consistency ie. not too sticky before you can roll out.
As for coloring, you need to use icing color gel to blend in... can't use the liquid type cos it'll melt the fondant..

mrs teng,
will porridge still taste nice w/o stock? right now, the porridge that my maid cooks doesn't look very appetizing. she will just cut the meat and veg up, then steam the meat and rice (with water) together, followed by the veg. then she stirs everything up together to make porridge. sometimes she will grind it further if it's too solid.
i'm thinking of making porridge over the stove instead. my kind of porridge is the kind where i boil the rice with water until it looks watery, then throw in the meat. if there's veg, then i suppose the veg goes in first. it's been a LONG time since i cooked this kind of porridge. i usually just make the plain porridge and fry a few side dishes. so i guess that makes my porridge teochew style? heh heh.

Almondz,
My girl also doesn't seem to want to eat much nowadays. She will keep shouting and screaming until we cannot stand it and let her be. Or after she has finished screaming and shouting, she will settle down and start to eat but still the appetite has dropped.
Not sure if it helps but according to the book What to Expect - The Toddler Years, the kids will know when they are hungry enough to eat. They will eat more during growth spurts? For me I will substitute with milk or cheese if I know she's not eating much.
shint,
I can so empathise with you. My girl's max sleep interval seems to be only 5 hrs. Can faint liao. So my maid also has a tough time.
Snow,
Zynn can sleep so long after Sat trial? My girl slept 2 hrs in the afternoon max. So envy, Zynn can sleep through the night, my girl still cannot and somemore if I take out the pacifier she will eh eh after some time.
huichin,
Long time no see! how are u? last time u posted, u were busy and staying up late in office to clear work. Falisha has grown up so pretty!

I can feel the vein (or is that it?) tt's swollen.. A little pain as I press on it, but i try to massage it & it still doesn't intend to clear. Wld it be a problem ah?
I prob be latching Ashley on tmrw, for 1 feed & then pumping sessions of coz.. Hopefully it goes away soon, it's abt a no. of days liao
<font color="#CD3278">Shint</font>
If you dare try, train Kai to go w/o milk during the night.. By this age, they ought not to need to wake for milk, esp if his daytime milk intake is gd
But like u said, he's not really into solids.. So he's not full? See if u're willing to let him go cold turkey or continually offer him the pacifier to get him distracted
<font color="#CD3278">M2B</font>
It's so nice tt Mae can sleep so much & early, then u & hb get time to urself.. But by the time u get back hm fr work, also limited time available to play with her hor??

huichin,
great ad! i'm convinced! did u use photoshop for that? i shld start making my own too
mrs teng,
yest got my MIL to steam rice, fish and carrots for jonah. he seemed to like it. so i think we won't be giving him porridge everyday. when you steam chicken, fish, pumpkin, spinach for C&C, do you mash it up or give it to them in pieces? we tried feeding jonah bento style on sat evening - beef slices (we used shabu shabu beef but it turned out quite dry), broccoli florets and potato (in cubes). he took quite a while to eat and lost interest halfway. i think the food has to be those soft soft kind, else quite difficult to feed. have you tried frying your food yet? i'm wondering whether to fry the beef with butter next time. can C&C eat peas whole?

Normally, I'll steam the roots in slices, florets in pieces, fish in slices. So it's faster to cook. I'll put all in a metal plate and steam with a little water. Once steamed, I'll pour the steamed water into a bowl (that's where all the extract goes) , this will be their "so-call" soup. Den will chopped the roots and veggie separately. Easier to chop also , but no need so small pieces. If you see one of my earlier post some time ago.. you'll see a pic of what I did.
For chicken thigh and drumstick, I shimmer in water and half a tsp soy sauce for about 20 mins. Den chopped finely before serving.
For beef, you can slice it thinly and marinate with 2 or 3 drops of soy sauce.. add a tsp of water n 1/4 tsp corn starch. This will soften the beef... After 15 mins, use 1 tbsp of canola or olive oil.. RUB into the beef slices (coating the beef slices) and pan- fry the slices on medium heat on a non-stick pan. No need to add oil into the pan already. Sizzle both side and it'll be ready to cook. Dun over cook lor..

Thank you valnsw. Today she rejects breakfast and lunch again. In the end, she didn't eat for lunch. I feel really bad, nowadays everything i cook is wasted. i don't even feel like cooking anymore. and the strange thing is she doesn't seem to be hungry at all from last night till now.

mrs teng,
tks for sharing. i'm wondering whether to start using soya sauce for cooking or not. so far, we've been giving him plain food (steam w/o marinating or sauce). the only reason why i thought of using butter to fry the beef is coz' it's a dairy product and it has a bit of fat
