Humble House

Bahay is looking more like a home :)

My dear parents transferred quite a few stuff over for us to have a little start, mainly kitchen items. Now we have some utensils, mugs and containers. Electrical appliances are pretty complete too! Yay! But my parents ALWAYS say I won't know what to do with them and other stuff either. HAHA. True lah. I have never really done anything great on my own in the kitchen. I treat cooking like a chemistry experiment. If it really is, then I'll be a good cook! Haha! Chem practical is always easy to score. But when it comes to cooking, preparations already take up a lot of time. I know I will take my own sweet time to figure things out. If I take an hour to prepare dinner, then an hour it shall be. Haha. My poor roomie would have to eat a little later heehee.

Need to know how to use the washing machine too. HAHA. The only time I worked the washing machine was when my family was away for a few days. No choice. Haha.

I know! I am not capable of managing the house! Ha.

It's okay, don't panic. I can do it, I just need practice. Thank you in advance roomie for your patience! ;)

Another thing I like about our bahay, the wind :) Even though it is not an - for the lack of a better term - unblocked block, we still get the cooling breeze cos the winds make their way past the condo and to our bahay! We're lucky to have the corner! I just realised the wind when I was there last Saturday. Today, with such lovely weather, my bedroom just feels so cosy! The temperature was perfect. Macam aircon :) I like a lot a lot!

Probably another two times of shopping we're done with the basic stuff. Then I shall have to start a list of food items and daily necessities. And then grocery shopping! :)

Am looking forward to living in our own home. :)

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho...

Apam Balik

I love apam balik. The soft one, with lots of corn. So when @khairulaming posted this on his instagram, I bookmarked it. The recipe is not too much until you get sick of eating apam balik, but I do feel it needs some tweaks to get the pancake king version. But not bad for a first try. 2 cups flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 tbsp melted butter 1 1/4 cups water 1 egg Additional butter for the pan I do feel it needs some salt, more sugar and I shouldn't have liberally made it so thick HAHA. The pan is important too, I kinda burnt some parts of the pancake. Got them bubbles!! This recipe made 2 large pancakes. Also, the filling needs to be sprinkled with sugar liberally (read: 3 tbsp or so), my first try wasn't enough. Pancake was soft even for the next few days after that (kept in the fridge then reheated in the microwave). Husband found it to be acceptable, but I was kinda not okay with it but ohwells. I can tweak it ...

Junior's Development

Nothing on food today. I wanna talk about Junior. He's growing so fast. In a few weeks' time, he'll turn 18 months. He's grown so much, so tall. Junior pretty much understands most of the things we say to him cos he knows when to shake his head if he doesn't want something. But he hasn't learnt to talk yet. I am kinda worried about that, but then Husband didn't talk till after two and that didn't stop him from being a debater. I'm trying to console myself by saying maybe he's a little late, that's all. Not like he has some deficiency or something. Junior keeps changing his preferences. Like now he likes panda bears (he loved Kungfu Panda on okto yesterday!), he doesn't want to solat but he aminkan doa . Things that aren't seasonal are his love for fruits, climbing, biting me (yes, it's been going on for the longest time), and the most sweetest thing, helping out with housework. He will pull the laundry basket out of our room a...
