Food and Renovation

Hello! :) I am hungry. HAHA. There was a talk by CPIB earlier today, and I didn't know they have a financial investigation unit! Awesome! I am considering... *hehehe*.

Yesterday I tried awesome cheese fries and sipped a bit of Mee Bandung from Spize. Sedap!! I think I shall try the Mee Bandung one day. Not that common to find it at hawker centres. 

I am sooo not gonna like Sunday. Cos The Husband is flying off to KL for a conference :( If only I didn't sign up for the five day course!!! Urgh. Should've signed up for the November one and leave my December free. Practically everyone's clearing leave and going on holiday, I wanna go on holiday too! Though actually a colleague said I have had enough holidays to last me a couple of years. HAHA. Okay lah fine. But a short getaway??? Pleaaase?? Heehee.

Renovation's going on pretty well! Today we're gonna drop by and see the tiles that have been laid. It's pretty fast actually! Which means we need to buy our sinks and stove and taps really soon so they can fix the kitchen! Exciting! Our home finally, after one and a half years, coming together :)

Hope everything goes well insyaAllah! :)

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...
