LittleCat,
At least your boy is still willing to try,my girl won't even try.She saw me eating avocado,kiwi...but just wouldn't try.
My banana ice blend is the simplified version.Just use a packet of Marigold Smoo milk, 1 ripe Ang Bak banana and some ice to blend,serve immediately.
Some recipes call for a little honey and some plain yogurt.Didn't add honey cos I think the banana and milk are sweet enough. Will probably try adding some yogurt the next time.
If your boy likes berries, you can try this:
Add 1 packet milk, 2-3 tbsp vanila ice cream,some frozen/fresh berries to make Berries Milkshake.

Thanks gals, will take a mental note on the suggestions.
My current maid cooked v tasteless and similar food. My confinement lady also taught her a few dishes else her cooking will be even worse. Her fish is always oversteamed, veg either under or over cooked. She can even cook pork rib soup with only garlic cos my MIL did not go market. Simply bo chap cos she cant drink the soup... kinda glad she is going back but headache when I think of training the new maid.

Choc,
Think the English Name of the Induction Cooker may be Taiyo,not Sun(I directly translated from Tai4 Yang2).Just saw the JL sales mailer, one model is selling at $399,and comes with a free electric oven.
Watie,
I have 2 egg tarts recipes but I have not tested them personally,cos I don't like to eat egg tarts. I did give one of the recipes to a colleague, and she tested it,and brought to office for me to try.It's ok,though may not be as perfect as those sold outstide.
Can post up if you don't mind to do the testing.

LittleCat,
Oh,Sori, drag the mouse too fast,miss out your post.Wish You Good Luck! Your gynae would give you at least 2 days MC, take good rest during your MC.
Not to worry.
I have done amnio b4,though that time I was under 35,as my triple-test result show "high risk".It turns out alright.

sp,
On the day I delivered,after seeing my gynae,I still went for hair cut at saloon, then my friends picked me up from saloon to have abalone feast at Ah Yi Bao Yu,as we have orignally planned to have it on that day to celebrate a friend's birthday. They then drove me to the hospital, while my hb went back to work, picked up my hospital bag,then met us at the lobby.
My waterbag broke while I was at the hospital lobby, and the nurse had to wheel-chaired me in. My friends were actually more Kan Choeng than me.
We will constantly motivate you to bake, so your 3-min hotness will stay for many 3 minssssss....
Will post up the egg tarts recipes tonight.
Where are the rest? Not cooking today?

This time round I will be teaching her myself cos my MIL spend most of her time at my SIL's place, looking after her kids. Since now I am not working, think its better I train the maid. I think I saw the recipe books at popular before (van, thanks for the tip). Will go and search when I am free. I checked my email but I did not receive the link, perhaps u can pm me the link?

Hi cupcake
My mum makes hae bee hiam by pounding the hae bee first - how long to pound depends on how finely you want the fished product to be. Then she just heat up oil in a wok, stir fry the hae bee, then add red chili paste that she bought from the market. Fry for about 15 mins over low heat then add some sugar, stir a bit more and that's it!
Btw, I found a very interesting website with people sharing pics of home-made birthday cakes:

Hi giggler
I don't think you'll need to add anything else on the fish cos' it's quite flavourful on its own. Choc reccommended using the Lee Kum Kee soya sauce for fish - maybe you could use that as well.
Depending on how thick the cod is - average steaming time for fish is about 15 mins.

Haha... anne.. I'm no super mummy, I'm a super maid cum nanny ! sigh! at their age, got to keep the house clean or else, they 'll have bronchitis, asthma, runny nose etc..
Doctors suggest to always sun the mattress, wash the bed sheets with hot water.. but I can't keep up with that !
Brought my girls together with my mum to Taka.. yah.. the shopping was so "enjoyable" that it was a grab and go..my left hand got to tell my right hand not to grab too much.. hee.. better not let ang know my latest steel collection..
Hey anne, give dd more warm fluid, think it's quite common to vomit aft too much coughing. Is she on any cough med ? Some medicine will actually promote vomitting to allow the phlegm to be excreted.
I buy dhasedyl from the pharmacy to help the girls' relieve their cough. Also apply Vicks on their chest and back.
Thanks for the website on cakes!
Hey cupcake, I 'll sometimes add some minced garlic and toasted balachan to the pounded hae bee and chopped chilli padi, you frying sambal kang kong is it ?
Hey giggler, how old is your girl ?
Can steam the cod fish for about 10 mins..
So what you all cooking ladies ?
prisc and van, thanks for the recipes !
hey van, does your dd drink orange juice ? I find the Florida orange juice very nice..but ex ! my no. 1 is also beginning to be picky about veg and fruits ! Your dd tried dried apricots ? They are quite nice.

Giggler,
you can cook heng chye( chinese spinach I think ) soup with fried ikan bilis.
First, fry some garlic, then add in some ikan bilis to make the soup more fragrant..
Add water to boil, then add heng chye. Don't need to boil the chye too long.
some mummies suggested heng chye porridge also. you can add chopped heng chye and some ikan bilis powder to your porridge
Also pork ribs is a good soup base.. can boil lotus root, add some red dates and wolfberries.

Annelise,
So sori, all the while I thought you are also preg like Choc and LittleCat. Pai Seh,Pai Seh.
Thanks for the site on cakes.Feel like I am browsing the Photo Albums of the bakery that I always ordered cakes from.
Choc,
So you didn't buy the induction cooker yet? Only the stainless steel pan?
Read about some titanium wok/pans that claimed non-stick and will last and last...
I use my anodised wok for frying boney meat.
It's not easy to sun the mattress, so heavy.So I bought a portable steam cleaner to "steam"thru mattress, sofa,cushions and soft toys. But I did washed the bedsheets/blankets and pilow cases with 40C water,since my washing machine can set the temperature.
My dd doesn't like fruit juice,including orange juice,but willng to take papaya/banana milk ice blend. She also doesn't like dried fruit,even raisins.So whenever we bake rock buns, she will remind me to split into two batches,one with raisins, one without raisins but with lots of nuts.
Cupcake
I use the same method as what annelise mentioned about hay bee hiam, But I pounded the dried chiili with seeds(washed and drained well) instead of using ready bought chilli paste.
There used to be a brand of ready mix chilled hay bee hiam sold in NTUC, $2.80 for a small tub.When you saute it till fragrant, it's as good as home-make one.But haven't seen it for some time already.
Giggler,
For your 2- yrd- old, you can also try cooking pork ribs with potato,carrot,onion and tomato(to be added last).
Your gal can drink the soup,eat the meat,potato and carrot.
Or you can try Chicken with corn,honey dates,carrot and apple,so she can also eat the corn,chicken meat and carrot.
Or use ikan bilis and soya beans to boil some stock.Use the stock to cook yong tau hoo with meat balls.She can eat tofu, fish balls and meat balls.

Got 2 days MC now ideling at home. Yesterday was sleeping most of the time. Today sian liao...
annelise, my son will cough when he's lying down and then vomit. So during those time, i will try to feed him milk much earlier. Btw the time he is sleep the medicine take effect and he will be less likely to cough. But accident do happen
I also try Choc's method, to apply the vicks.
My aunt believe in chinese doc, she said give him some 'dissolve the phelgm' (hua-tam) thing, but i never follow leh.

I tell my hb, must 'bu' blood (cos i also did the blood test so the nurse draw some blood). Yesterday kena poke two hole liao lor...

Yah agree with van, the cake website is so good, give me ideas liao ! My dds like the strawberry shortcake with the printed pic on top and the hello kitty cupcake by this aussie lady. She actually cut out individual kitty head to put on the cupcake ! Phew !! lots of effort !

I got my anodised wok from Tangs.Tiger Brand. Not fair to compare it with non-stick wok lah, apple and orange,how to compare? Should be better than stainless steel in term of heat transmission.I did some "research" from internet before I finally decided to buy those anodised woks.
But there is new type of anodised wok with non-stick coating, you can go and see,and ask around about it.
If you are going,also check out the titanium wok(not sure if Singapore is selling?) Then let me know.Just curious to know about this.
I haven't use the thermal cooker to cook soup yet, only cook green bean soup and red bean soup.May be I didn't boil on stove long enough, it's not as soft as using slow cooker.
Should ask LittleCat about the taste of soup.
The problem with my dd is,she is not "brave" to try new food.Sometimes have to use a little threat or bribe to get her to try just one bite.
LittleCat,
Suggest you put down your EDD in the table.
I gey hum to my char kway teow on Tues,still got charged $1,but at least there are lots of hum,very satisfying.

I also have an aluminium wok which I bought from the market.. to fry boney meat, but got to use lots of oil..
will check the titanium pan, saw some promotion going on for WMF brand .. I used a supposedly titanium pan in china before, the brand is Kern, saw it in Singapore Carrefour, but I also scratched it a little .. so not sure how "pure" the titanium is.
Haha.. i threaten my dds with diseases and cancer if they don't want to eat veg and fruits ! very bad hor ! How many litres is your thermal cooker ? This La Gourmet brand claims that it can cook rice on top of the soup.
cat, you tried doing soups on the thermal cooker before ? nice boh ?

I told dd vege n fruits make her beautiful,she bo chap, make her stronger,again bo chap,make her poo easier,still don't really bother.So have to threaten or bribe,if you just try one bite, I'll let you have this...
If you are going shoppoing tomorrow, can do me a favour, see whether there is Endo Knife Set with Wooden Knife Block for sale, and check out the price for me.
I wanted to sell the free gift from cooker off,but need to know how much to quote.
Thanks.

Hi LittleCat
Good to hear you're relaxing at home
2 weeks will pass very fast - come here and chit chat, time will pass faster!
Hi Choc
I'm very inspired by the cakes on the site too! I wanted to do a simple 2-tier princess castle cake for dd1 but did not cos' scared not nice! Ya, the strawberry shortcake design is very sweet! I've never used marzipan or fondant before. There's a very good book entitled School of International Sugarcraft - it teaches you all the basics on making your own fondant, marzipan, royal icing and gumpaste and the various decorating techniques! The author (Nicholas Lodge) runs a cake decor school in US - I wish that if my hb goes there on biz trip I can sign up for the classes! Haha!
Hi Van
No worries
So are you going to try your hand at making any of the cakes? My mum and mil's bday are coming - heehee, thinking of using them as guinea pigs to try out cake decor before attempting a larger scale one for dd2's bday party!
Has anyone been to this baking supply shop at The Adelphi called Chong's Trading? Apparently, they bring in Wilton stuff as well. Thinking of checking it out this weekend.

No prob van , maybe on sunday..
Saw the Henckels knife set on propmotion on papers today and the tiger thermal cooker with a free 1.8l thermal warmer.. thought of getting a 3.5 or smaller. Never mind lah.. your 5.2l can use to entertain guests.. good for festive seasons.
I bought one Henckels parang-like knife for chopping chicken , then found that it had a dent and some rust stains which can't be cleaned at all.. going to ask the promoter about this.. Was thinking that it shouldn't have a dent... didn't cut human bones what .. did you see the dented chopper used on liu hong mei ?
Is the endo knife set in tangs or taka ?
anne, glad that you are up and about ! You taking antibiotics, remember to take yoghurt to have normal flora(good germs) in your stomach. How are your dds ? Still coughing ?
My no 2 coughs every now and then and I'm monitoring what she eats.. seems like acidic and sweet things including fruits..
How about the Wilton cake deco book ? Saw it at the BIY.. haven't heard of the Chong's Trading..
So what cake designs you going to make for your mil and mum ? Barbie or Cinderella ? hehe
What cake base do you normally use ? Tried to cream a butter cake before and when I sank my teeth into it, the butter cake was not fluffy and soft.

Florida orange is one of the best and taste original, but like u say very exp. And once u try this orange juice u can ignore the rest..
Choc, abt the soup from Thermal Pot, it won't taste like those u use charcoal/stove to cook continuously for 2 to 3 hours type. But definately it won't taste like slow cooker where u find like 'soak with hot water' till cooked... so i find the taste is quite nice.
After u gals bake the cake must put the photo here hor...
annelise, how u feeling after the antibiotic?
Pai seh i think the 'car' start tomolo?
cos my cousin got free ticket for us and my son too so can watch tomolo. I hope this round he wont' ask me to 'off the TV' and want to leave the place... cos he thot the movie screen is like a big TV screen can off it anytime...
choc, i wonder how many cooking utensil u have at home...
Do u guys know where to sell 2nd hand stuff? i have some item some never use some use only 1 or 2 times still look new, thinking of getting rid of it thru those shop.
Choc, abt the soup from Thermal Pot, it won't taste like those u use charcoal/stove to cook continuously for 2 to 3 hours type. But definately it won't taste like slow cooker where u find like 'soak with hot water' till cooked... so i find the taste is quite nice.
After u gals bake the cake must put the photo here hor...
annelise, how u feeling after the antibiotic?
Pai seh i think the 'car' start tomolo?
cos my cousin got free ticket for us and my son too so can watch tomolo. I hope this round he wont' ask me to 'off the TV' and want to leave the place... cos he thot the movie screen is like a big TV screen can off it anytime...

Wah LittleCat, you're very lucky to catch the movie so early! The rest of us will have to wait until middle of next week before it opens! Your son is so cute! Enjoy your weekend together
Thanks Choc for the yoghurt reminder! These few days have been staying home and haven't done any supermarket shopping! Will get my hb to get some later when he's done with the marketing!
Yeah, all the best to you lyn on Tuesday - we'll be thinking and praying for you! This is sooo exciting
Enjoy cooking for your gal, Giggler!
Thanks for your lovely recipes, Prisc! How's homeschooling coming along? Btw, can you share with me where you get your homeschooling materials from? My best friend just moved back to Oz and she's having probs finding a school for her 4 year old kid. She may have to homeschool her for the rest of the year but she's a new sahm and may need some pointers to get started. Thanks

Hi ladies!! how are you! long time no see..so many things happening here.
Help ! Help ! My questions time again.. hee hee..
Firstly, about cleaning the microwave oven.
How often do you need to clean it and how to do it the proper way.
Is it sufficient just wiping with damp cloth?
If I use diluted water with dishwasher liquid then how to ensure that I don't leave any remains of the dishwasher liquid in the oven?
Secondly, about the peanut plants I saw in wet market. Those that comes with roots,stem, and leaves.
Does anybody know how to cook these?
Lastly, what do you mix with for walnut soup and its functionality?
Cooking saviours please help me!

Any suggestions for simple and nurishing lunch box for toddlers?
Just started my boy to a childcare centre and I hate their food. Have been staying with him a few days and saw the food they serve is down low nutritions. No fruits and vege, no proper meat and confirm no fish, just plain rice, porridge, maccaroni and noodle with little minced meat soup or one nugget and fishcake.that's all. They don't follow the menu as what they showed us and I heard parents told me other centers do the same too. These few days have been waking up early to make lunch box for him. Don't know my stamina can last how long to do that every morning.
