New Pants & Our House Back

I need to get new pants :( It's now tight around the waist even for my most loose pair. I hate finding pants. It's hard to find one that fits perfectly well for my huge behind. When I do find one, I'd send that pattern straight to the tailor to replicate about three pieces more with other colours. And the last time I did that was like, three years ago? Haha.

The Husband and I have finally gotten the keys to our house back! It's great to see the familiar rooms again :) And our block has been painted! Finally, a fresh coat! It looked awful and dirty before the repainting. And and and!! They've marked out the area for lift upgrading. Yay! I hope they start work really soon! After all, election is coming hurhur. Took a look at our little place, and thankfully the rockstone wall isn't as bad as I thought! Plastering should be okay. The full length bookshelf will be huge and pretty too, especially when Husband's books are fitted in neatly. Still have not decided on the kitchen, though. From the floor plan it looks huge, but it's not that long as what we thought it'd be. But anyhoo! Renovation should begin soon, and hopefully it'll turn out well.

November is gonna be a great month. Renovation, a short work month with two holidays, weddings and best of all, 24th November is a date to remember! We can't wait to see you! ;)

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...

Stir Fried Udon

My baby loves this! Recipe adapted from here . 1 onion, sliced 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 packets udon noodles 1 carrot, julienned  250g mushrooms 2 chicken fillet, sliced 2 stalks spring onions 3 tbsp dark soy sauce 2 tbsp oyster sauce 1 tbsp sushi vinegar (replacement for mirin) 2 tsp brown sugar 1 tsp artificial vinegar Recipe doesn't call for onion and garlic but those are pretty much base ingredients for stir fries so might as well. Made this for quick lunch for the kids since they were home alone.

Chicken Rice (just the rice)

Need to jot this down! I have an earlier recipe for Hainanese Chicken Rice but this version is without proper chicken stock hence it's fuss free. Chicken Rice (just the rice) Skins from several boneless chicken thighs 2 tbsp sesame oil 1 lemongrass, bruised 1 onion, sliced 8 garlic cloves, pounded 2 inches ginger, pounded 2 cups rice, washed 3 cups water + 2 cubes chicken stock 1/2 tsp salt 5 knots of pandan leaves Fry the chicken skin until slightly crispy and the oils ooze out, together with the sesame oil. Add in the lemongrass and onions and fry until golden. Add in garlic and ginger. Add in rice and fry for a few minutes before adding the chicken stock water, salt and pandan leaves. Let it come to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes. I used 4 cups water instead and it was kinda soggy so I'm guessing 3 cups should be sufficient. Also, cooking the rice in a pot is way easier than having to transfer into a rice cooker. Chili for Chicken R...
