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...

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...
