Cooking Tips & Recipe
- Thread starter little_cat

Sunsweet,
LittleCat was the one who gave us the recipe for brown rice water. I've copied it into my own "Prenatal Recipes" folder, so here it is for you:
<font color="0000ff">Fry the brown rice in a pan for about 5-10min. remember to stir make sure not 'chor-tar'.
Cool it and store in container. when u want to drink, scope a spoon in a cup, pour hot water, cover for 10min then u can drink.
u can make more and store in air tight container.
Other easy way :
- drink the brown rice cereal.
- drink red bean soup, this can help to get rid of water retention too. </font>
Not sure about it popping, cos I have not tried it. LittleCat, can advise? Think I remember some girls say it's quite heaty too, so remember to drink lots of water too.
LittleCat,
Ah, so the bad reviews about the foodcourt I heard were true! And so much hype about it in the papers!
Yes, eat more fish... good for preggies!
And this one so easy to make. Did your gynae gave you fish oil?
Your ds better today? Are you working from home to look after him?

Littlecat,
I oso heard that food at the new food court is not nice as all the previous stall owners have moved to Serangoon Gardens Food Centre. I was there 2 weeks ago and found the famous Roti John
Sophie,
Next time you can try putting the fish on a rack when steaming? This means that I hv to buy a bigger wok to accomodate steaming, so that I can skip buying those 3-tier steamer. Then can also make yam cake and radish cake
yum!
Btw, I heard that once you deliver, should refrain from eating yam for 100 days as the sap will make your bodt itchy...

LittleCat,
my dd's stomach flu didn't go off completely, have seen GP 4 times, vomitted and dirty the bad and mattress protector again last night,had fever this morningjust went to c PD at Gleneagles.The PD did a urine test to make sure her kidney isn't infected, she was also given suppository to help her pass out more stool, though she wasn't exactly constipated. She couldn't go to school this whole week,and PD said do not force her to eat if she couldn't eat,doesn't want to eat, and cut down Pediasure to not more than 90ml each time,and go back if fever didn't go off by Thurs. With such detailed examination and instruction,I feel better and more comfortable.
Will be doing a little online "shopping", wanted to get grocery online,didn't want to bother hb or relatives to help buy fresh fish/meat.
Sophie,
Your fish looks very yummylicious,and as usual, nice presentation! I am very impressed that you could use ang mo frying pan to "steam" fish, thought you bought a wok already.

Krisjoy,
My "angmoh" frying pan is too shallow to put in rack... so no choice, used the foil + poaching method to steam the fish
I am also looking forward to a wok so can make more stuff! Thanks for the note on yam... I'll remember that.
annlee,
The fish is a red snapper. Very fat and fresh bought from NTUC for only $6.
I have not tried tilapia so far, cos afraid of muddy smell. My mum says red garoupa also good for steaming, but I didn't see any fresh ones yesterday.
For wok, I think I'll go to Taka to take a look one of these days, prob more choices.
Sunsweet,
Yep, everything in moderation. My rule of thumb is not to eat big fish like tuna, cod or shark now, cos the bigger the fish, the longer their lives and hence they accumulate more mercury in their bodies. I still eat lots of small fishes though, like seabass, garoupa, sardines and ikan bilis.
Van,
So sorry to hear your dd is not better. Stomach flu not easy to handle cos feel hungry, but body just automatically throws up everything. Very poor thing for kids! Luckily she got a full-time mummy to look after her and now got online grocery shopping somemore!
For the fish, my hubby was also surprised that I was creative enough to steam fish in angmoh frying pan... and mumbled that buying of wok can be postponed liao!

van, sorry to hear about your dd. Hope she gets well soon! PD at Glene waiting time shd be quite fast right? I remember bring my son to kk A&E takes about 3-4 hrs to finish everything which include urine+blood test.
I suppose some mummies here mention giving your dd glucose. is good to have it since she vomited and having fever.
sophie, ya..... i don;'t like tilapia too... got muddy smell.
I went to taka to look for wok that day, alot of them but don't know which is good. Might get one after my chicken pox.

Sophie,annlee
Thanks. I can't imagine if I am working full time and dd fall sick and drag for 2 weeks, and hb travelling...think I will breakdown.
Did you describe to hb how "troublesome" it is to steam fish in ang mo frying pan? Take a picture of what you did, then grumble and grumble, sure he won't mumble about postponing.
I usually "mask" the muddy smell of tilapia with sizzling hot fried shallots oil immediately after the steam fish is done,my fussy hb didn't complain of muddy smell so far.
Just realised that NTUC's online grocery doesn't include meat and fruits,got to go for Cold Storage then.
annlee,
waiting time for PD at Gleneagle is not too bad as long as you don't go on Monday and Saturday morning.I did go on Monday morning before, long Q but definitely don't need 3-4hrs.

littlecat, i'm not pantang about ppl saying my son put on weighs but is true and happening to him every after ppl say puts on weight and he will fall sick or lose appetite and after that lost alot of weight.I always thought is coincidence...
I never been to Chinese garden or japanese garden cos I stayed at the East all the while, at that time my mentality is why go all the way there and see rose, orchid and trees which i can find them in the market.
But now there's more things beside flowers and trees right?

annlee, check this website :
http://www.sbg.org.sg/index.asp
haha u so cute!
then u will say i silly liao! cos we have garden at the place we stay, and so near to Chinese garden plus the new Jurong lake park.. but we choose to travel to town - Botanic garden.
I think is the outdoor feeling, plus i like there are lots of trees, even if we go there late (esp now i sometime can't wake up too early) still not that warm/hot. Imagine if u go East Coast at 11-12noon, is like an hot oven. But when we go Botanic garden, like last Sunday we stay till 1.30pm, but still ok. Find those big tree and rest, it is windy and relaxing...
Also good time for the dad and son to chase around and do some excercise.
Starz and the rest of MTB, the Watson 20% quite worth it for standard items like the Baby wipes, normal price is $9.90 for 3 packs now with 20% off. The Drapolene $7.80 for 2 tubes, although no further discount, but is is quite resonable can buy.
going for long meeting soon.

Do you go marketing daily?
Van,
So sorry to hear your gal haven't recover... Gotta make sure your gal drink lots of fluids too... Hope she will get well soon
It's better for her body to clear the toxic...
Wah.. Botanic Garden seems very nice... I only walked pass there when I go Gleneagles... lol... Very lazy to go in...
Last time during preggie, told my hubby next time bring baby there for stroll... till now, haven't go..

Littlecat,

Sophie,
How's your moisturiser from Vitasence? Is it good?
Next time you can try their sun block with SPF30..I find it quite good as it is not oily...
Sunsweet,
I think they say stingray is poisonous so can't eat too much...but I ate some already..hehehe..as long as not excessive lah ;p

Van,
Heh, I did... grumbled to hubby how ma fan it is to do the fish the foil way. Plus my foil got a little hole on the top, so some of the soy sauce marinate dripped out into the water, and the steaming water was a yucky brown color. But he still insists wok too heavy for me to handle now. I think cos he's going to be travelling quite a lot to China now, he's afraid if *touchwood* any "emergencies" happen, I'll be alone at home.
annlee,
After you recover, you should take your sons to Botanic Gardens. LittleCat is right... it's a lovely place for kids to run around!
lyn,
Yep, I prefer to go marketing daily cos I really don't know how to store meats in freezer, and I don't like to thaw stuff. I only freeze cooked meats or microwaveable foods
What about you? Are you taking meat now, or vegetarian?
Krisjoy,
Yep, I went to buy the daily moisturiser with SPF30 after Van says must use minimum SPF30 if don't wanna get pigmentation! So now am currently using the cleanser, rejuvenating toner, soothing moisturiser at night and SPF30 in day. Even though I am not using the anti-acne range, my big pimples on my forehead seems to dry up faster! Night soothing moisturiser is good too - not greasy at all and when I wake up, face seems less oily. Am already wondering whether to stock up more cleanser since Watsons now having 20% sale
Sunsweet,
Heh, think of other fish... other fish also can BBQ! Will not get the same texture as stingray, but just imagine them to be stingrays! Once sambal is spread out on the fish fillet, cannot see liao
starz,
Do take care of yourself and don't work too late. Stress can also cause immunity level to drop!

I take little meat now
It's usually pork ribs in soups, minced pork in stir fry vegetables. I only take pork now... My hubby cannot live without meat... I also take fish sometimes, cos my MIL keep buying.. I freeze the fish too. Very wasteful to throw away. I will buy and freeze the meat. kekeke... I am too lazy to go marketing daily.
After I eat grapes, I will feel sorethroat. But I read in books that grapes is neutral...

Krisjoy,
My dd has been seeing Dr Y Y Yip since baby, but YY Yip is on leave these two weeks, so got to see Dr Ngiam instead.Dr Ngiam is also very good, very patient,experienced and detailed.
Sophie,
I went to Beauty World Centre last week, got the contact number of the Shop that sells baby products,you may call them to enquire if you have any models of baby items in mind.Tel: 64688862,it's located at #02-28.
I remembered reading your post about your meat/fish didn't freeze well? Could it be the fish wasn't fresh when you bought it? I usually cleaned them then store in freezer-safe plastic container,so far no problem.For prawns, I learned that adding some sugar to it, retain the firm texture after freezing.
LittleCat,
After Diana Ser's pregnancy was announced officially, I saw her at Forum Galleria either in July or Aug, a little tummy protruding, very petite, can't tell that she is preg from back.
How's your ds now? fever go off already?
Robinson also having 20% off for their toiletries products.
HB brought us to Equinox for lunch yesterday. They are having 50% discount for lunch buffet.They serve appetiser and desserts on buffet table,main course got to separately order,most people just take the appertiser and dessert.The foie gras is very good,it was pan-fried on the spot, they only serve a small dish for their buffet,but unlimited helpings.
DD had very good appetite at Equinox, but she threw out before reaching the car park, and hb was alone with her while I was at Robinson,imagine how messy and clumsy he could be,alone handling her.

How's your ds now? fever go off already?
Robinson also having 20% off for their toiletries products.
HB brought us to Equinox for lunch yesterday. They are having 50% discount for lunch buffet.They serve appetiser and desserts on buffet table,main course got to separately order,most people just take the appertiser and dessert.The foie gras is very good,it was pan-fried on the spot, they only serve a small dish for their buffet,but unlimited helpings.
DD had very good appetite at Equinox, but she threw out before reaching the car park, and hb was alone with her while I was at Robinson,imagine how messy and clumsy he could be,alone handling her.
Sunsweet,
When is your bb due? Btw, you are not alone in drooling and thinking over food. Me too! Recently have this big craving for chocolates!
Starz,
Take good care! Make sure the medication is safe for pregnancy...Xu Qi is shot-gun one..hehheh..cos I read it in 8-days magazine..
Sophie,
I bought the acne lotion but din get to use it much cos my pimples cleared after using their products. So it's good that u don't buy it for now..Seems that the products work for both of us
Littlecat,
Yes, Diana Ser is pregnant and she is due end of Oct. Will deliver her baby via c-section cos she had fibroids removed earlier and natural delivery may tear her womb..i sound so kaypoh with all the information right? hehehe...so happened I read about her in a magazine...
Van,
The buffet sounds so good! But I dare not eat too much these days in case I throw up again...Since your dd has seen the two PD, which one do u think is better? My sis recommended Dr Ngiam but my neighbour recommended Dr Yip. She used to work in Gleneagles as a nurse so she told me feedback from Yip is good...

Krisjoy,
I will still stick to Dr Yip,he is the gentle, soft spoken type, and quite young. Dr Ngiam is more experienced and much older.Both are patient and detailed.

sophie, I'm recovered. Face poxs some disappeared. Will consider bring my kids to Botanic garden since is nearer.
Didn't know grapes is heaty.... but don't really like it cos is too sweet.
Littlecat, thanks for the botanic garden infor!
You're using drapolene? Heard that destini(spelling??)nappy cream is better.
ya..... read about the croc hunter too.... such a pity, my hb likes his show. Me also thought he should have been kill by croc or snake instead of stingray.
sp, thanks for your concern! My hb says seldom see husband and wife kenna chicken pox in the same time.
krisjoy, my son has been seeing Dr YY YIP. Agreed with van, he's gentle gentle type and soft spoken. My younger son goes to Dr William Yip, experienced doc. Both are good!
van, buffet sound so good.... was thinking about jap buffet and now you mention this... good timing.
How's your dd? You take care too!
starz, don't think of kuay lapis hor.... rest well and don't work till so late.

lyn,
I also read that grapes are neutral, that's why was wondering if it was grapes that cause the bowel problems. Will probably just eat more prunes and prune juice.
Van,
Thanks for the grape document. Seems like grapes has a lot of benefits for preggies, and now it's the season for grapes... all very juicy. Maybe my problematic bowel movements are caused by something else. Will have to observe for the next few days and see how it goes.
Thanks for the Beauty World Shop too - saves me a trip there then
Thanks also for the tips on freezing fish... maybe the fish I bought really wasn't fresh. Will try freezing again, cos sometimes really very tired to go marketing everyday.
starz,
Don't think grapes is heaty/cause bowel problems, since the girls here confirmed grapes are actually very good and "bu". I think the gas mentioned by LittleCat could be true, heh, cos everytime I go toilet, can fill up a balloon! Oops... too much info...
You sleep early tonight since you are ill OK?
sp,
Good to know you are better and ds also better!
Krisjoy,
Yep, Vitasence products are really not bad
Heh, you're not kaypoh about celebrities... I also very kaypoh... like to surf http://www.celebritypregnancy.com/ Wonder if Nicole Kidman is really pregnant too?
annlee,
So fast recovered? It's only been a week right?
So your skin must be pretty good! Plus very guai cos you abstained from a lot of food

...annlee,
Vitasence facial cleanser not bad, nice rose geranium fragrance too, although I found the smell a bit strong. So in first tri, I was so kiasu... held my breath and only allowed myself to breathe in the smell twice during lathering and rinsing! It's in mousse form, so as not much lather, but surprisingly cleans quite well even for my combi skin. I was just telling my friends I am not looking exactly "radiant" like most of my preggie friends, cos got some pimple breakouts on my forehead. But using the Vitasence products actually makes the pimples disappear faster than my previous skincare product, even without any pimple cream or anti-acne range... thanks for Krisjoy for her recommedation!
Yep, can get from most Watsons. Sometimes I cannot find it cos they occupy only about 20cm of a corner shelf in some Watsons, so can ask cos they'll display the actual inventory on the shelf behind the cashier. Now got 20% off, so cleanser will only cost $38.80.
Yeah, I think the dried-up "scabs" period is the most contagious. Heh, better for your hubby to have more than you! Can bluff him say it's probably cos of all the "rubbish" he ate last time compared to your more healthy diet... hee... then make him eat more healthily from now on!
Sunsweet,
I am also due in Feb... from those online calculators, I think mine should be around 21 Feb.
I also feel like eating sashimi... *sigh*

Annlee,
Glad that u have recovered fast! Personally I prefer Kuishin-bo cos I feel that the standard at Honjin has dropped quite a bit...Yes, you can get the Vitasence cleanser from Watsons. Now they have 20% discount so it will be cheaper
Sunsweet,
I took some sashimi as well actually. As long as not excessive should be ok ;p
Sophie,
Dun mention lah Good things must share mah
Btw, what kind of shorts do you preggies mummies wear at home? Cos my shorts with elastic band type is causing me to itch so much around my tummy area. Sometimes I just scratch it in the middle of the nite sub-consiously and wonder if bb will get hurt from my hard scratching

Krisjoy,
I wear... err... only undies at home
I'm alone at home most of the time, or only hubby around, so that's OK. If I need to wear shorts, I'll wear my hubby's boxer shorts, or for something more presentable if MIL coming, I've got 2 "XL" size shorts I bought from WH.
annlee,
Oh, got new picture! Yeah, the baby does look like Tom Cruise! Heh, this is my kaypoh website for checking out pregnant celebrity style, cos I cannot find any ones on local celebrities!

oh so xu qi also? is that the one host the beauty show on how to get pretty/slim one?
didn't know she PG, so is short gun.
i thot last time they said she is with tay ping hui? guess not right?
van, my son's fever is up and down... guess have to bring him to see doc and get antibiotic..
annlee, so far the drapolene is good so i didn't change. but i do hear from other mom say no good..
starz, did u get those multi-drawer (toyogo brand) to put baby's clothes? i find it quite useful and also can move around easily.
I remember someone mention some places to get baby cot, anyone can recall?

LittleCat,
Heh, we are all very knowledgeable but "secret readers" of such gossip
Haha, I even asked gynae if it was possible that Wong Lilin only put on 6kg for her pregnancy leh... gynae must think this woman super-kaypoh!
Eh, that Slim show... issit the one where they ask normal fat people and put them on strict diet by Jean Yip or something? That host doesn't look pregnant to me!
For baby cots, I only remember seeing this link which shows a cot that can be converted to a toddler bed... but not very fancy-looking, esp. with a fat man standing on it!

Hope your son gets better!

sophie, serious she only put on 6kg ? alamak, better dun let starz hear it shhh...
but i do hear some japanese woman only put on 8kg.. too bad not for us lor..
i just met my fren the other day she put on 18kg for both PG, but now slim like b4. so starz, not to worry
Her 2nd kid is 6 months now and she just discovered she is PG again! hooray!
The BIG boss will Luv her!
The old slim show, not the new one. She appear like abit 3-8 (silly big sister type).

sp,
Your craving so funny... so in the end you never eat the sashimi cos pregnant cannot eat right?
Sometimes I wonder if the Jap ladies themselves also abstain from raw food during pregnancy? or their bodies are structured differently form ours after so many years of evolution and their lifestyle...
LittleCat,
Eh, apparently it is true leh, that she only put on 6kg. But I've been reading some preggie books now, and they say too little weight gain is no good too - may result in preterm babies.
So starz, don't worry about weight gain as long as you're eating healthily.
Plus I heard that breastfeeding will use up all the fat stores that our bodies are putting aside now... all for good purpose!
Eh, if it's the old slim show, I won't know who this 3-8 girl is
Anyone heard of hypnobirthing from Four Trimesters? I'm not thinking of engaging a doula cos more than $1k, too expensive.
But was wondering if their hypnobirthing classes may be good to teach how to manage labour pains.

Krisjoy,
Yes,it's smilar to Tiger ones,was told the small one 1.5L will cost S$69,and the 2.5L about $100+. The actual size available in Singapore may be slightly different from the Japan version of 1.2L and 2.6L.
LittleCat,
Is your ds still very active? Can he eat well? Better see doctor early.
My dd stil can't eat,only drink small amount of Pediasure at a time,now left with skins and bones only....

krisjoy, yeah.... the babylooks like them.
you're right Honjin food standard dropped.
van, the thermopot looks expensive but the price is reasonable.
sophie, thanks for the website for baby cot. I'm looking for one mattress and the website got it and will check beauty world shop to see whether is it cheaper.
littlecat, my son having fever 2 days ago, recovered. Think because of the weather, pretty bad. Hope you ds recover soon!
van, your poor dd!! can she take soup? or try some veg soup like mash pumpkin, potato soup or only green vegetables soup for her to boost energy and vitamin.
