Lunch For The Kids Today - 16 April 2013

For 3 days, everyone at home has been eating porridge and vermicelli cooked with minimal oil and meat.  According to the paed’s suspicion, Alycia has been attacked by some kind of virus. You know doctors, when they cannot be […]

Grandma made a batch of pumpkin buns just before dinner.  My bread-crazed Cass announced to grandma that she ain’t going to eat rice and only wanted to eat mien pau (bread in Mandarin) with homemade kaya and cheese.  So while the rest of us had rice with yummy homecooked dishes, Cass had bread and I […]

Our 2013 Valentines Day

Today the mil and the hubs’ aunt brought Alycia and Sherilyn to Mid Valley Megamall for lunch and shopping.  Hubs was at a client’s function and so could not bring them out. And I was just too lazy to go out as we have been going out almost everyday during the CNY holiday. I just […]

Lunch Today - 21 Jan 2013

For the kids’ lunch today, I was undecided whether to cook green tea noodles with the new sauce that I had bought from Isetan or mushroom pasta.  Since the punnet of button mushrooms had been sitting in the fridge for over 1 week already, I thought I should just use it before they turn black. […]

Easy Peasy One-Pot Homecooked Dish

Here is our dinner for tonight, which I have already prepared at 4:40pm, as rascal #2 has ballet at 6:30pm.  For time-challenged WFHMs, there will be lots of one-pot meals without stir-frying, shallow or deep frying. The lesser washing and oil splatters the better… and the food is healthier too.
Steamed chicken drumsticks in tong kwai […]

Mushroom Pasta With Pan Fried Fish

After briefly pan-frying the fish in a non-stick pan […]

Braised Pork Ribs Egg Noodles

My 3 girls are big fans of noodles, especially #2 and #3.  There is a noodles dish on my kids’ menu at least 3-4x in a week as it is pretty simple and quick to prepare.  My noodles dishes come in a variety of styles.  Braised pork ribs with egg noodles is a new addition […]
