Biscuit Treasure

I am so happy! Although I woke up today with a red swollen eye but no matter! I finally found a shop that sells loads of childhood stuff! Biscuits in metal tins, old toys like pick up sticks, paper aeroplane thingy and so many others I know not the name but I just go, "eh this one!", and childhood snacks too! My ultimate fave, Hiro cake! And there's Tora and Dingdang too! Omg so so happy! It's like finding long lost treasure.

This is the shop! Bad angle I know. But this caught my eye: Old School Toys & Games SOLD HERE!

Hiro Cake *screams* oh how I missed you! Sadly the cakes are so small and thin now. I didn't get one, don't ask me why haha, afraid of disappointment maybe. But next time I will.

Ding Dang and Tora. All along I thought that Doraemon is on the box of Ding Dang hahaha. These snacks were sorta forbidden when we were younger. Snacks were a no-no. So if we did get them, it was really a happy occasion. See the boxes of biscuits behind? That's what I'm talkin' about! Old school biscuits! So difficult to choose!

One of those old toys which I don't know the name hahaha.

Husband and I got biscuits, I got sultana biscuits and he got the chocolate wafers which is totally awesome! Yes it's that good. I was expecting cheap chocolate but no it's just yummeh. We is thinking of going again after work to get more of chocolate wafers and probably alphabet biscuits for Junior. The best thing is it's along the way home!

Yes I do believe we'll be going there after work. Hehe.

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...
