Hi mommies,
I enjoy reading the recipes v much in this thread. Really wonder if all of you are super moms - can clean, cook and even bake without maids!! I am new SAHM and I find it difficult to cope with my gal (8 months) alone without doing housework. Thinking of doing some baking at home also stress on the cleaning up part, hahahaha. Guess I can just read the recipe here.

hi,cupcake
When my dd was younger, I had a part-time cleaner,so still have some time to explore new recipes.Usually bake at night when everyone was sleeping.
Now that I don't have part-time cleaner,but my dd goes to school everyday, I have more time to do cleaning and prepare ingredients for dinner.
Picking up baking again cos my dd is old enough to help me with some of the chores already.Baking is not hard, but washing up after that is a pain.
I must say the person who invented non-stick baking paper is a genius.No longer need to scrap the baking tray with this non-stick baking paper.
When your gal is older, you may have more time for yourself then.
hong,
"hum" is cockles in Hokkien. We have a Queen of Hum here, guess you already know who's that?!

I tried the canned blueberries years ago.Drained and mixed wiht fresh cream for sponge cake filling.It's not bad,not as sweet and heavy as pie filling, not as sour as fresh berries.
How much you pay extra for Gei Hum? I was charged $1 for Gei Hum to Laksa.

Hi choc
I made a blueberry cheesecake many years ago and I bought frozen blueberries from Liberty Market (which was at Plaza Sing then) and mixed them with blueberry jam and some water over low heat in a saucepan. When cooled, I poured it over the cheesecake and put it in the fridge to set - it was very yummy
I'm not sure if NTUC or Cold Storage stocks frozen berries though.
Hi Van
I'm the opposite of you - know how to tie, dunno how to prep ingredients! Ah, I saw the wilton leveller on the web - is it easy to use? I'm a big fan of Daiso too
The one in Japan is only 100yen - that works out to be about $1.50 and I went crazy buying all sorts of knick knacks when I was there!
Hi Prisc
When you come back to S'pore, we can all meet up & cook up a storm
Tonight I'm making onde onde - my friend gave me palm sugar he bought from Malacca - hope it turns out well - it is my first attempt. Anyone tried making before? Any good tips I can use?

hi lyn,
I didn't know the North Indians eat a lot of couscous; I always thought their staple is more breads and rice.
So how? Are you going natural or do C-section as gynae advise?
Choc,
I always buy the bleuberries from NTUC; not the dried ones from USA that cost more than $10, but the fresh ones, normally from NZ, that cost around $3.95 - $4+. I add them to my cornflakes in the morning. Not sour, but also not that sweet... eh, quite tasteless btu acceptable to me
hong,
$4 for 10 muffins cups is a rip-off! If you stay in Jurong, you can check out chua's earlier posting on the address of a baking supplies shop. Otherwise, next time you are in City Hall area, drop by Sun Lik and buy from them.
Welcome to this thread, cupcake!
Wow, got onde onde and carrot cake to look forward to today *drool*
I'm trying out chua's soup tonight, minus the pearl beans cos I have no idea what these beans are

LittleCat,
Buah Keras is candlenuts yeah? I just bought some candlenuts in anticipation of making some Peranakan curry. My cookbook says "buah keras is pounded in rempahs and used as a thickening agent. Substitutes: macadamia nuts, almonds, hazelnuts or Brazil nuts (skinned)." But I think candlenuts cheaper; I bought a handful for only $0.50.

I read about the frozen blueberries being a good substitute for fresh ones in baking, have yet to go find out where to get it in Singapore.I supposed the hypermart like Carrefour and the AngMoh supermarket like The Market Place should have it.
I made Onde Onde only twice, during Home Econ Class...few months after that.That was really donkey years ago...
LittleCat,
I am the only one at home who eats Hum, so usually won't buy so much to cook.Only asked for Gei Hum in Laksa and Char Kway Teow.
Buah Keras/Candlenuts must ask Prisc who has Peranakan blood.
Are you all aware that some Korean Food Stalls in Food Courts are using the Korean Instant Noodles to cook their Ramen, even the sauce/soup also used the Sauce packet that comes with the instant noodles?
Saw them doing it the other day.I thought they should at least have a pot of soup boiled from scratch,just like our Hay Mee/Laksa/Yong Tau Hoo soup.

Eh van, you kena our hum poison liao ! lol Ooh.. you must be drooling at the hum, that's why the man charged you $1, actually only 50 cts leh.. but then again, maybe food court is more ex..
Btw, do you all like thai food ? The authentic kiam kiam lots of fish sauce,the kind that only BKK markets have ? I found one in Thomsom Plaza, a stall just outside the food court beside Han's eatery.. The soup noodles is authentic, not like the ones you get from Thai express.. cos the owner is a Thai.
Thanks ladies for sharing the tips on blueberries, think will try canned cos got more and it's cheaper.. haa
Wah anne.. onde onde... slurps.. must add mashed sweet pot is it ? I love gula melaka too..
do you know how to make ang ku kueh ?
The sch attendant in my ex sch makes very good ang ku kueh using sweet pots..
If I'm not wrong, think buah keras is to make the rempah more sticky ,nutty and pang, is it ? Hello spice gurus out there.. must ask Prisc
Yah cat, wanted to invest on one liao.. my ang always uses his phone cam to take pics..
Hey lyn, counting down liao..

And my ang luv to go there during durian session, plenty to choose from!

To choose fresh sotong:
Look at the eyes, and make sure dun look cloudy. Then make sure the body and head attachment is good...

I got the P1 reg booklet already.My dd brought back from her kindergarten.
Haven't tried other methods of cooking the pearl peas other than throw into soup. It turned soft easily, don't need to soak(who was asking about the soaking?)
LittleCat,
Where exactly do you stay? Seems like the places that we go are the same. I used to buy durian from Jur West too.My favourites are Balestier Road, Clementi and Jur West.Also bought the car park near Botanic Garden before.
The small sotong is good for stuffing with marinated minced pork and steam.Yummy!
Thought of getting a Thermal Pot during Takashimaya members' sales this Friday,any recommendation?
Lyn,
Don't know if confinement can eat Dao Ciam or not, but I did ask my CL to cook for me during confinement.She sometimes mixed it with Mee Sua to cook with pig's liver and added sesame oil, so that made it a confinement dish,i supposed.
Have you been taking more "Liang" drinks like Pao Shen water,coconut juice, barley water? Don't take too much heaty Chinese herbs close to delivery.
Take Care.

Lyn,
Don't know if confinement can eat Dao Ciam or not, but I did ask my CL to cook for me during confinement.She sometimes mixed it with Mee Sua to cook with pig's liver and added sesame oil, so that made it a confinement dish,i supposed.
Have you been taking more "Liang" drinks like Pao Shen water,coconut juice, barley water? Don't take too much heaty Chinese herbs close to delivery.
Take Care.

choc, hahaha... then u have less trouble, after they fight and croc eat the frog then u can spare the rest of the family's stomach liao!
eh i dare not eat frog legs leh.. dun know why...
van i am staying at jurong east, very near the Chinese Garden. Then my auntie at Bukit Batok so we go there very often.
Jurong west is our fav place to go for breakfast, top up grocesories etc.. and of cos durian when is the session, and CNY time lots of goodies!
But now lesser liao cos go NTUC to buy dun like to urgue with auntie/uncle on the fish or meat.. also with my boy running around aiyoh.. so must go air cond one.
I used to take the fish ball with kway teow. there are 2 stores, the one with minced meat one taste better.
The Thermal Pot buy the Tiger brand. Not sure if they have discount for Thermal pot though..
I go see look tomorrow, i now very lazy after lunch head back to office liao.. do let me know if gals plan to buy something, i go take alook if is on offer.
i saw one tiger brand thermal flask for hot water and one for storing food one, i think $58 right? quite worth it leh..
last time think of buying for my son, but now he is eating outside food, so no need to get.

Lyn,

Choco,
u are really funny. I never taste crocodile meat before. Nice or not?
van, the tiger food jar? I have one, very gd! it can keep the food warm for the whole day. Another thread taking abt the Tiger jar, one mother teach to cook porriage in the jar.
So happen that i broke my slow cooker cover so i cook my girl porriage in the food jar. 2 hr later, it really turn into porriage.
