PSLE Starts today.....

这几个 星期, 因为 PSLE 的逼近.. 让我越来越紧张.. 担心女儿有没做好准备. 身体还好吗... 我都不敢给她压力. 担心她能感觉. 我尽量让她放轻松. 一直告诉她,别给自己压力.只要尽力就好.

上个星期, 女儿说, 班上有几位同学病倒了. 应该是压力太大了. 让我频频给她维它命, 开水,鸡精.
反而.....是我自己病倒了. 必须带者口罩, 担心传染给她..

女儿回来,告诉我,今天的英文考试没问题.比起学校给的预考还容易...感恩啊...
希望一切顺顺利利... 

Banana and Chocolate Rice Cupcakes 香蕉与巧可力米杯子蛋糕

Last week, daddy bought a bunch of banana (the small type). My two children dont like banana and it has become too ripe to eat (leaving in the kitchen for 3 days). Daddy suggested to use the banana to make banana cake. (See, he still have some contribution ^v^).
I try to source for recipe and happen to see one from one of the blog (I forgot who's blog is that, hee..)
The cake is light and fluffy. Its a bit too sweet. I guess i had put too much sugar as I forgot banana and chocolate rice is sweet too.
Think I had baked too long, the chocolate rice on top all melted.



Scoop too much... Over Flow...

Photo taking skills need to brush up... -)

 

食谱书 Cook Book

最近翻翻书厨, 发现我也有不少的食谱, 而大多数都是蛋糕, 糕点, 饼干之类的. 看来也应该是时候参考参考食谱书里的食谱. 做一做,来满足自己的胃觉与视觉...

但是, 身为一个上班妈妈,须要上班, 做家务, 照顾两个宝贝, 狗狗, 仓鼠, 很多很多的小鱼..... 要有一点点的时间还真不简单.

调配时间还不容易.必须要有很好的时间管理. 告诉自己, 没问题.

Recently I looked thru the cabinet and realised I  actually have quite a few cook book.   And mainly are recipe for kuih, bakery and cookies. Think its time for me to look thru the recipe and put it in good use.

As a working mother, who have to work, do house chores,  look after 2 kids, take care of the dog, hamster and fishes...It is really not easy to have extra time for my cooking n baking pleasure..

Time management is not easy, you have to handle it well.... Telling myself, no problem, I can do it.


My little collection

Orange Konnyaku Jelly

In the kitchen, we still have a lot of oranges, so the only easiest way to finish them is to use lots of their juice. So i have decided to have Orange Konnyyaku Jelly.

Very easy, just need
Ingredients
1) 1 packet of Konnyaku Jelly Powder
2) 950ml of orange juice (about 10 oranges) Sieve it. Unless you would like to have alot of pulps.
3) Sugar (up to individual preference, as i only add in 2tbsp of sugar, my daughter dont like it too sour.)

 

 

I will suggest to get the orange juice thru Electric juicer. If you are using manual juicer like the one above, you will take a longer time to get the whole 950ml. I estimated i had used up at least 45min just to get the juice. My wrist pain for 2 days after this "exercise" (=.=)

 

Methods

Mix in the konnyaku jelly powder into the orange juice in a saucepan.

Bring it to boil together with the sugar (optional)



Once boil, switch off the fire. Keep stirring to cool it down. Do not leave it to cool itself as it will harden very fast.
Pour into the mould and keep the fridge to chill it.

Its sweet and sour... Very refreshing. (^ v ^)

Parrot Fish (Shu Mei)

我家老爷是钓鱼发烧友 (我也是啊, 但碍于本姑娘必须做工, 做家务,照顾我家两位千金和少爷, 所以没多少机会能去钓啊). 最近钓了一些 Parrot Fish , 叔眉鱼 (排涩啊,不会写啦). 我呢, 当然不会煮啦. 必须要家婆的帮忙.
家婆说, 叔眉鱼不好弄, 鱼鲮非常多, 不过她有办法.

这就是我家老爷与本姑娘..

家婆说,最简单的方法,便是用咸菜叶(必须要大片的, 才能包的完), 把整条鱼包好. 再放点红辣椒和番茄就好. 不须再放盐了. 因为咸菜已经够咸了.
