Cantonese "Pak Cham Kai" Chicken

I have finally acquire the recipe for my favourite plain white chicken. Normally I will buy it during lunch time in any chicken rice stall. Hence, I find making it myself a kind of personal indulgence and satisfaction. So after cooking my whole chick, I let it stand for 3 hours before we can feast on it.
After 3 hours, I carve the chicken; for the first time in my life.... hah, not bad huh! I garnished it with some spring onion and ginger with my home-made sauce.

These are some chicken drums and wings that will be feast on later by my guests. :) Hope they like it!

Introducing solids / snacks

Firstly, I am not promoting any company here but just giving some information here.

I have long started introducing solids to my baby and here are the few choices that I have chosen and my baby really like it. Of course, not forgetting my roots, I am also giving porridge on top of these.

I am giving my baby breakfast, lunch, an occasional snack and dinner. Otherwise it is still the bottle.

I have some organic stuff here and some commercial product as well. Indeed I have to alternate all these food so my baby won't get too bored with one taste. I also do provide some fruity puree as well. So, these are some of the variations if you were to ask me, my baby is quite fussy with her food, if she doesn't like it she'll just ignore it and well then it's the bottle choice again!

Try your luck with yours hope your baby is not as fussy! Good luck!

Bamboo Tree Bangalow Home

Can you spot the little bird in this picture?

Hah.... well, this picture is taken from my balcony and seems like these little creature love to make their home at my bamboo tree!

Here's how it's nest looks like. It's been here since like years ago when I moved in. Long time ago it was just a shelter for a pair of loving birds and their young ones. Since then on and off there are a few generations going on and on so I guess I lost count how many birds have been moving in and out from this nest. But I can tell you it used to be quite a small nest. Now it has been upgraded to a terrace then semi-detached then bangalow and now is with extension some more. It almost occupy my whole bamboo tree! Hmmm........ as you can see the birds are quite small in size and yet they do not mess up my balcony so that is why they are welcome in my home. LOL.

Yummy Chocolate Brownie

Yes you know what my chocolate crave is honing me again and yeah I cannot resist to make these for the weekend! Yummy chocolate brownie, rich and sweet and guee! Always my favourite. Top up with vanilla ice cream..... and there you go I scream chocolate! Yay!
Oh oh I forgot to tell you they are not just full of chocolate they are also full of walnuts and pecans! Viola!

First Mothers' day

My first Mothers Day celebration with my lil' bean wasn't very smooth! She was fast asleep during lunch time and dinner time! Hmmm........ the most interesting part is; I am force to wake her up twice as in Lunch and dinner time. Now I will tell you why, because I normally will wait for her to wake up by herself, as I think she's more important than me and no more me, me and me but baby, baby and baby.
Now during lunch hour which is like around 1pm, I am forced to wake her up because the Earth is moving under my feet, as in EARTHQUAKE! My house is shaking, I feel like fainting as well, so quickly without any hesitation, I wake her and carry her almost ran down the stairs! Luckily I do not live high up in the apartment! Seriously no joke, and later I found out that off the sea near the North of Sumatra had again been strike by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake! Hmmm.... this is the third time I am experiencing earthquake in my apartment. Guess have to pack my disaster bag soon!
Now during dinner time we have to go visit grandma's place and again she fell asleep! So I have to again pick her up and go to grandma's for dinner and she wasn't really awake and of course she's kinda bad mood!

So this is how eventfully I passed my First Mothers' Day!

First Children Party

This was Joelle's Birthday Party. She's 2 years old. Well. Lil' Bean did enjoy herself although it's not her birthday but she get to see and feel what it's like to have a birthday. She saw her blowing candles and met with a few new friends! I brought her there to mingle with children and see that she's not the only child in this whole wide world...... the idea is to let her be familiar with other children rather than seeing adults all the time. Surprisingly, she's quite friendly with everyone and smile a lot! LOL.
