5 of 29

Started day 5 with the usual chicken sandwich (new marinade!) and a little extra of banana and chocolate!

Let's start with the chicken sandwich. Chicken cubes with lettuce and white bread, easy to prepare, good to eat!

Day 1 and 2 I had the same chicken, boneless skinless healthy chicken cubes pan fried in honey bbq sauce, smoked bbq seasoning and black pepper. No salt needed. Was quite yums but I should have pan fried a little longer to get that charred effect.

Yesterday I tried something different. The day before I bought dried basil and oregano and chili powder. Regretted not getting garlic powder too. I'm still figuring out basil so I tried the following instead:

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 tbsp chili powder
2 cloves garlic, mashed & chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp vinegar
salt & pepper

Was kinda good! But maybe I should've marinated longer so the flavours seep in. And probably can add a bit more vinegar too!

I quite like stir frying chicken! Very fast and can play around with different flavours. Should be the same with sliced beef as well. My only hurdle now is to get Husband to like them too hmm.

Anyway!! I was up earlier than usual this morning because Junior cried for milk, I had time to have a little dessert. What was supposed to be just a healthy banana became a sinful dessert. Haha! The banana was too cold for my teeth so I wanted to heat it up, then I thought, why not add chocolate to the mug and heat them altogether! Was AWESOME. Hot chocolate with yummy gooey banana in 40 seconds. Reminds me of camping days when we'd put wedged bananas in aluminium foil and chocolate chunks in the bananas and into the fire! One of the best camping memories. I know. Best camping memory is food?!



Ahhh. I love simple desserts! I think I wanna make this tonight for Husband! :)

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...
