i think am being carrot by a neighbouring chinese medicine hall!! brought "ban liang" of cordyceps just now and costed me 180 bucks... got this expensive?? wanna double boil cordyceps with black chicken this weekends...
hmm... any idea where to get birdnest?? just wanna made a few time for myself this pregnancy... just afraid get conned... any reliable one??
JuniorMe,
cordyceps are v expensive. Not sure how much is "ban liang" but my mum buys 6-8 small pcs in a bundle and it's already $300-$400. But it's $ well-spent cos good for us and bb.
Can just double boil with lean meat, wolfberries and red dates. I love it.
Birdnest can get from Fuhua, EYS, or ZTP, the more reputable ones if afraid kena conned.
JuniorMe: usually get from ZTP, Guan Yan, ask for discounts (up to 20% and give Boa Sheng). but too busy to boil it now, so getting bottled ones from EYS
EYS ones quality better more ex though only 5% discount
Junior - Being preg we are like carrot, last wk went for facial cannot use existing package bec all machine then ask me to buy package for manual facial + Oxgen Mask another few hundred gone.
Bird nest I buy from ZTP $340 ard 12pcs free 1 box of ginseng heard FuHua got 20% discount u can check it out.
turquoise, i agree.. i noe i was preggy when i still have 2 more sessions to go.. so i dun wan to keep the 2 session n buy new ones so i ask them to change to 1 extra treatment for me i will lose out in terms of money la but bo bian.. so now i sign new package is without machine de.. so much cheaper den machine package.
Michelle: prefer weekday la...less crowded. i'm not working so any time is fine.
Turquoise: i still go facials except i request dun use machine. normally its not a problem for them to convert existing package to manual facial since machine package supposed to be more expensive.
Recently groupon just have promotion buy $30 EYS voucher for $18. bought that coupon to use to buy bottled chicken essence. btw the consultant from EYS says 'pao sen' is not suitable for all pregnant ladies leh...she say they recommend only to those whose TCM practitioner have verified its suitable for their body then can take. Anyone heard about that?
chrmei: yes, told by Dr as well not to take anything with "sheng"
just sharing that Bao Sheng can get as freebies from ZTP, take first lah can keep long long time in fridge
I missed the EYS deal, so sad. wasn't sure if worth it, when decided it's gone
We can't take pao sheng meh? My both sisters took when they preg leh. My dad bought those good quality pao sheng n they will grain into powder so my sisters took every morning a small spoonful. I Tot I'm gg to start on my 5mth. I'm lucky to have a super nice father..usually he will sponsor all the pao sheng n birdnest and even boil for us every of my sisters pregnancies .. I aso got the chance to take birdnest even when I was not Preg but my sisters . Tis time is my turn ! Hehe
I aso went facial last wk and kana asked to keep my existing package since using machine so signed another 10 sets of spa facial with oxyjet. Check with doc I can use oxyjet machine basically just inject oxygen on the surface skin. As long not using any ray lights. Lucky each set only 30.80.so total I paid 300.80 for 10 times .
Sarah: how often u will be taking? Heard so many diff comments abt it. Some say alternate days ok. Some say once a wk. Too early can't. So confused.
My mum says no such things. But myself has sinus so dunno to believe.
Dym: on confiscating hp, I agree that some how they will hv 1 so no point confiscating. If u scared e maid use e phone n don't concentrate in her work, can keep e hp n only pass it to her at nite.
Star_nn: I'm gg BKK end of next mth.
Wenwen: I agree wif u on bb sleeping wif maids.
BB: don't worry, my fern wif twins also like that. Her gal v close to e maid as she sleeps wif her since birth. When u hv 2 bbs I guess u don't hv mich of a choice.
La_piax: tks for sharing e chicken essence recipe. My frens hv told me abt this. They say v bu. Will try it 1 of these days.
Kelly_G: if I hv e energy taking care of 2, I will try sleep training. Hope to achieve 7pm - 7am schedule. But think I'll start aft 3mths when bb can sleep thru'.
Michelle: np, i put blank coz i not working mah...then i having my 1st pregnancy how to be SAHM? so blank lor.
bc: ya i will probably see the TCM around the 5th mth then decide what tonic can eat. 1st pregnancy so i more careful with what i am eating. for now i just make do with occasional bottled chicken essence or birds nest.
Jo: my dad ask me take one small spoon every morning le. But I haven't start.
Just came bk frm dnr, reali can eat alot.. Ordered pasta, chicken wings n fries for myslf .. And a slice of pizza too. Too much carbo .. Sure gg b ah fat soon !
was looking at Lo Hong Ka's website on the birdnest and found they have recipes to cook the bird nest in quite many ways , seems interesting , so just to share ..
just fell from a chair as it was spoilt, the impact not that hard, but i'm worried, wonder what shd i do... no pain though but don't know if i need to see gynae just to be on the safe side.
bunnybluey: if u dun feel secure better go see gynae get assurance! when i have my 1st one i always visit gynae.. hehehe pay and get assurance everything is ok. But u take care lah... check the chair before sit....
Pearly: hihi *waves* welcome welcome.... how come switching gynae? what happen to ur 1st gynae?
momo mummy, for now, i'm feeling ok but i asked my hubby to call gynae's clinic & see if i need to see him to check out the baby, just to be on the safe side. of course, i'll see him if i don't feel right. see how things go...
