COOKING TIME

On Sunday tried out my new toy, a noodle maker...so make Cha Jiang Mian for dinner. Result, not bad!

Monday morning another adventure....haha we cooked Penang Asam Laksa in office. Bought the paste during my last trip to Penang. Got Helen to cook the fish at home first cos scared too fishy smell, then come to office only add in the paste. Also prepared the ingredient in the office with the help of Fanny. The taste is superb...should buy more, very easy to prepare and to me it's quite healthy cos lots of vegetables.

36

Nice figure right????hehe I officially turn 36 on 13th November 2008.

Am very blessed with so many birthday celebration. Celebration started since 7th November 2008.

7th November 2008

Had a combine birthday celebration with my boss's daughter. Her actual day is on 8th November. We had quite a good spread of buffet, with Thai Pineapple Rice, Thai Mango Salad, Fried Bee Hoon, Sushi from Sakae Sushi, food from Old Chang Kee, Otah, Roasted Duck, Yvonne's special homemade Tiramisu, Fruits, Red Wine and also Cakes.

10th November 2008

Went out ladies night with the mummies gang and they bought me a cake.

12th November 2008

My lady boss, Helen gave me a treat at Crab Party for lunch...had a crabie lunch...YUMMY. In the evening had a candle light dinner with hubby (can consider candle light lah cos really got candle lighted up mah). Initially I suggest that we go for steamboat buffet but looking at the queue we gave up and go to the Vines (western food) instead.

13th November 2008

Early morning received so many birthday wishes on phone, msn and facebook. My colleague Eric, Yvonne and Fanny gave me a very good lunch treat at Soup Restaurant. At 3pm, they gave me a cake and sang birthday song to me....so sweet of them. In the evening, my helper Mary supposed to bake me a brownie as my birthday cake but end up failed...so hubby have to buy a small cake for me. Well guess who choose the cake??? RJ wants a cake with cartoon on it. So end up hubby bought one with Winnie the Pooh on it. RJ sang very loud for me and keep wishing me happy birthday.

Thank God for all this wonderful friends and family members who remembered my birthday and blessed me with good food, gifts and wishes!

My breakfast bento

I noticed I do more bento for myself rather for RJ...feel good to bring nice bento to office. This morning I made a simple bento for myself...pandan bread with kaya, orange and Vitagen.

Dinner at Waraku

Waraku is having this ladies nite offer which is very worth it, 50% off from the total bill...so me and my mummies gang went to Marina to grab this offer....

Doreen booked a Japanese Room for our gathering...For a long time we don't have such a big group gathering liao...We had a great time eating and chatting. They also bought an ice cream cake for me for early birthday celebration.

so shocked to see such a big bowl of udon

Happy Birthday to me!

Curry Chicken

Want convenient curry paste...well then I would recommend this curry paste...can easier get it from Sheng Siong supermarket.

I tried it a few times already and I really love it. I used to cook curry using the wet paste from market but it can be rather inconvenient cos there are times I don't go to the market. So with this paste I can cook anything I want provided my house has packet coconut milk or can even can use full cream milk.

Last Saturday I cook curry chicken for dinner...try to make a bento out of it but must admit that I'm not a creative person...my bento is always not very attractive.

Singapore Slingers Vs Malaysia All Star

On Wednesday, me and hubby took some of our church kids to a basketball match, Singapore Challenge Series....Singapore Slingers vs Malaysia All Star...

The game was good...I nearly lost my voice, kept screaming and cheering....guess who I cheered for??? Of course Malaysia lah....actually the Singapore team played quite well, a lot of 3 pointers shot. Those kids keep staring at me cos I kept cheering for Malaysia...sorry lah...am still very patriotic...to me it's always Malaysia Boleh!!! Anyway Slingers won the game.

When the game finished, we went down to get autograph from the players...I also took a few photos with them....haha but I look so like a midget/drawf...very fat and very short compare to them...Found 2 of Slingers player who are very handsome, Eric Sandrin and Darren Ng...got my hubby to help me take some photos of me with them...hehe...it's ok one lah...just see see only mah...

Told hubby I want to go and watch another game...am enjoying the game!

TOM YUM in COCONUT

I've tried tom yum in coconut before in Malaysia and I just love it. So on Monday, I bought some young coconut from NTUC. On Tuesday, got may maid to cook tom yum soup (those traditional clear soup type). What we did was, open up the young coconut, pour out the juice. Then pour in the tom yum soup and steam it again....once it's ready, garnish it with coriander leaves. As usual, since I'm at work I only give theory lesson, practical done by my maid.

The taste is good but not as good as the one I tried in Malaysia! There's still room for improvement...probably, next time I'll try cooking it myself.
