Junior The Teaching Assistant

Junior came for abah's class (where I'm the student as well) last Saturday! He was the teacher's assistant, and thankfully an obedient one too for the long (in baby hours) four hours. Got up early to get things ready, and I was extra early so I made bread pudding for breakfast!

My breakfast. Hahaha.

This time round I used condensed milk only, no granulated sugar.

Recipe:

6 or 7 slices of bread, torn to about 2 to 3 inch squares
388g tin of condensed milk
2 cups milk
3 eggs
1 box of raisins
Sprinkle of sliced almonds

Tear the bread and arrange them in the pan. I used an 8 by 8 inch square pan.
Sprinkle raisins and almonds in the pan.
Mix milk, condensed milk and eggs together in a bowl and pour into the baking pan.
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius. Let the bread soak up the custard mixture while waiting for the oven to heat up.
Bake for about 40 minutes.

Yummy soft custardy bread pudding! Almost like my mum's. Almost. Tastes much nicer when it's in room temperature.

More of Junior's experience as a teaching assistant! We came a bit earlier so Junior could get adjusted to the classroom. I set up his play area with the loads of things I brought and I will list down here:

colour pencils
drawing block
bulldozer
magnetic drawing board
3 carriage train
1 set of 4 mini books
2 books
play mat
pillow

I know right! Seems like going to war! This too, is not inclusive of potato soup, water bottle, towel and extra set of clothes haha.

Aww he prostrated! Which mother's heart won't melt looking at this! Lovelove my son sooo much. And below are photos of him running around haha

Having a break watching the construction workers at work. He loves cranes and gondolas and diggers.

Junior seems right at home with this mosque. Happily running around the class, and the mosque premises. We also have plans of making him a real teaching assistant when he's bigger! Like helping his dad distribute handouts, taking attendance and so on. May his heart grow closer to the mosque & Islam 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...

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...
