Huat Kueh

Since I'm on MC, nothing to do at home (other than playing and taking care of RJ), thought of trying out the packet of Phoon Huat Premix Huat Kueh Flour.

It's easy to make but some how I find the texture of the Huat Kueh not so nice...it looks good cos got "huat" like flower, smells good cos got coconut milk but the taste and the texture not up to the standard. I think I'll try again by using fresh coconut milk cos I find packet coconut milk not that nice. Next time I'll use the one with gula melaka!

SIMPLE MEAL

We are indeed very blessed as we always have plenty of food to eat. Thank God for His provision...But many times we often say we don't what to eat cos eat till we sian liao...We should count our blessing that we are given so many choices of food...we are never short of food to eat.

I've to admit that I'm guilty to that statement too...I should learn to count my blessing!!!!

Usually on Saturday we will go out for dinner cos thought of taking a break from homecook meal...but many times both me and JW will always ask each other what to eat and where to eat...I think what is more important is not what we eat or where we eat but who we are eating with. As many knows, I seldom have weekdays meals with JW because of his schedule but we will try to make a point that every Saturday we will have dinner together.

So this Saturday, I cooked a simple meal and eat at home...The meal may be simple but it's the effort put in to prepare for my love ones and eat together with them that counts.

Wat Than Hor

On Mother's Day I tried making Wat Than Hor (Hor Fun that we usually eat at zhi char stall). But too bad my hor fun no "wok hei" (in cantonese), can't expect much from a home gas stove...Overall still not too bad. JW likes it and say it's nice. RJ also finish almost 1 whole bowl. Can consider a success lah

Wow God's beautiful creation - seldom we see such nice sky!!!!

It's for real...original and no photoshop...It's taken by my niece ard 5pm at our Kuantan house. It's indeed a good shot!

Thank God for his beautiful creation!!!

TELEPATHY

I was on MSN with my forum kaki, a few of them is preggie and we were all talking about confinement food. All a sudden I have this crave of eating Chicken Wine Mee Sua...but it's too late for me to call my maid to cook cos it's already 5pm and she usually cooked dinner early.

Guess what, when I went back, am surprised that my maid actually cooked chicken wine to be eaten with rice...told her to pack the rice and put in mee sua instead...

Is this called "TELEPATHY"????

My Breakfast Bento


This is my 2nd bento and this time round is prepared by my maid...I bought this cute colourful container supposedly to be given away to my neighbour for her newborn baby. But after much thought, find that it's looks quite nice as bento set, so I decided to keep it.



Told my maid to prepared pancake for me and put it into this container as my breakfast bento.

My Trip to Penang

Overall the trip was okm this trip is more for my parents and I think the enjoyed it, well consider mission accomplished. Had a good time of fellowship with my parents and sister. On the makan part, not so much cos parents don't really enjoyed Penang hawker food. Being old people, they still prefer those sit down proper meals.

Anyway I still get to try Penang Char Kuey Teow, Penang Asam Laksa, Penang Hokkien Mee (Prawn Noodle), Penang Curry Mee, Jalan Kayu Nasi Kandar (the original one).

We had the Famous Air Itam Asam Laksa, but to me the taste ok nia not super fantastic, probably because I busy feeding my son so didn't really get to slowly taste and enjoyed the food.

I like Penang's morning market food. We ate at a coffee shop with morning market outside. It's fun where you can order those local snack and eat at your breakfast table.

The best food throughout this trip is the one we had at Bukit Tambun. Was recommended by my Penang friend. We thought it's very near Butterworth but it's actually around 30km away...But worth going to that place. It's really at the end of the road, near a jetty/fishing village. The seafood is fresh, cheap and good....We reached there at 5+ to 6pm but the restaurant is already packed with customers. Another things good about them is that they serve their food very fast!!!! We had baby octupus as appetizer, black pepper crab, steam fish, salted baked mantis, 2 types of fried vegetables, for 5 pax, we only paid RM98 (including drinks)...WOW>>>CHEAP!!!!

Outside of the restaurant, there is the stall that sell very nice an unique satay. This satay does not serve with the gravy cos they dip and marinade the meat in the gravy before BBQ it...it's the best satay I ever tasted.

Didn't manage to take many picture of the food cos with my son around, my hands won't be so free to take pictures liao...

When we went back to USJ, we went to mamak stall "Tanjung" for supper. I like their roti tissue and maggi mee goreng. Without failed I'll order this 2 things whenever I go back to USJ for supper...

Breakfast was good. We went for dimsum at Hoong Foong Dim Sum at USJ...would say cheap and good. For 8 pax, we only pay RM60+ for good dim sum. You definetely can't get cheap and good dim sum in Singapore.
