A Dialogue Session...

A Sunday few weeks ago...
@ MOF bugis junction

with 2 lovely gals..HEHE...

Here's our food

Salmon Bibimbap

Beef Bibimbap


Normally having our meals out = having a dialogue session..
so we will normally order more stuffs to eat or shift to another place for desserts!
for this time, we stayed at MOF for more desserts...

This is avocado ice blend....??
i forgotten...

Cheers~!

ice creams!

Happy!

Red bean soup with baked mochi...

the mochi is still OK...
not bad...never tried b4...

Even happier!
but the red bean soup was SUPER sweeeeeeeeet...
too sweeeeeeeet to my liking...
high glucose!!


we sat in the restaurant for about 5 hours! HAHA!

Shopped around for about 2 hours...



and headed for dinner!!
and decided to have Ajisen..

All of us had the same Ramen...Seafood!

Both of them are cute hor??



side dishes...

white fish...

fried prawns...

Fried chicken!

Wah super full until I wanted to vomit...
anyway this was b4 my "weight loss program" OK..

and i can conclude that our dialogue session was 9 hours!!!!
HAHA..powerful right..

Ondeh Ondeh + Black Hokkien Mee + Fried Prawns

Another peaceful sunday night...

we have a guest at home!

playing a duet with my small sister...
they are going to perform in my year end concert for my students.. =)


So when there's a guest here, there's always food!
So..here's our dinner~~

Mummy's Hokkien Mee....
the recipe was actually passed down from our grandma...
She once owned stalls which sold lor mee, prawn mee and duck mee!!
A pity that she lost the battle to cancer when she was just merely 50 yrs old...
and i don't remember her at all...

Fried Prawn coated with batter....
this goes really well with mayonnaise~!

mummy also made ondeh ondeh~~for our dessert...

No artificial colourings in there...

recipe is from Sin Ming Newspaper too..
used shredded coconut with gula melaka as filling...
more work to be done because normally people just wrap a piece of gula melaka in the skin...

Next time we will try just using gula melaka as filling~~
One bite and the gula melaka's juice oozing out kind of feeling should be very thrilling too!


Recipe as follows (we altered it abit)

Glutinous Dough:
400g glutinous rice flour
350g coconut milk
80g steamed sweet potato

1. Mix all ingredients together and knead into a smooth dough.
( Our experience is do not add in the coconut milk in at once, it may be too wet in the end)
you can add in colourings at this point and knead further.


Fillings:
300g fresh grated coconut
150g gula melaka
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp glutinous rice floor
40g water

1. Melt the gula melaka in the water with low heat,
add in grated coconut and keep stirring till nearly dry


Additional ingredients:
Some pandan leaves
more fresh grated coconut(to coat ondeh ondeh)

Wrapping:
1. Take a portion of dough, mould into a ball and press down in the middle.
Stuff the fillings in and seal tightly
2. Mould it like a round Glutinous Rice Ball
3. Boil a pot of water, add in some pandan leaves.
4. Cook the ondeh ondeh in the water until it floats up.
5. Coat the ondeh ondeh while it's still hot by dumping it into the additional grated coconut.

All Grown Up...

Piano's life...

Her first day home....
So So small...
just 3 months and she still can't walk properly...

I can't eat or sleep well for 1 week...
Piano is everything in my life..
and I can't bear to leave her...

Such an angel right?

she brought our family members closer...

She can do anything for food...

And always have different unglamorous sleeping postures...

She loves to hide under the ikea small bench...cos she's so tiny...
until one fine day...she couldn't squeeze herself in anymore...



All grown up to be a lady~~



but to us..she is still cute...
and one of our family member...



Sadness came when my daddy asked Piano to leave...
i cried for a week and thought i won't be able to forgive my daddy for my entire life...
I love her to the max..and still missing her right now...




I want to look her into her eyes...



See her smile...

take care of her and bath her...

I hope the day comes quickly~~
Piano to stay together with Tommy and me permanently...
in our one and only sweet home...

I want her back so badly!
