Sweet Potato Dessert !

2nd try @dessert - Sweet Potato Dessert!

I bought 2 different kinda sweet potato, the orange flesh, and yellow flesh ones (approximately 500g)!

This dessert turned out great! I learnt something while preparin this dessert, too! That is, yellow flesh sweet potatoes (appearance is purple color) take a shorter time to cook! Hee!

Darlin suggested puttin Barley into the dessert which makes it even yummier! Hee!

*thankie, Darlin*

A pity Darlin still prefer Beancurd Skin with Barley and Gingko Nuts dessert! So, I gotta brush up on dat! =)

Beancurd Skin with Gingko Nuts and Barley Sweet Soup !

Dunno wat else to try out in pastries, so I decided to try desserts! Hee!

Beancurd Skin with Gingko Nuts and Barley is the 1st dessert to come to my mind as it's Darlin's favourite dessert!

I only managed to buy a can of Gingko Nuts after I've asked the 4th store! Faintz... Izzit so diffcult to find juz one can of Gingko Nuts??!!!

Anyway, this dessert turned out fine except that it'll be even betta had I changed the sequence of puttin in the ingredients to the followin:

1. Barley as it takes the longest time to cook. Also, that's no need to soak the barley as instructed in the recipe.

2. Beancurd skin as I wanna it to be really soft.. I made the mistake of puttin it in last... I shld also have tear it into even smaller pieces..

3. Ginkgo Nuts since it's the fastest to be cooked.

Also, Darlin prefers it to be sweeter.. Haha!

Well, hopefully the next attempt will be betta. =)

Anyway, the whole pot (which is quite a big pot) was finished by nite time! Darlin even had 2nd helpin! Hee!

Vanilla Cupcakes !

Decided to try doin cupcakes again!

Except dat this time, it's not pan-bakin.... I'm goin to try using steamin! Heehee!

Well, as ya can c from the pic, the appearance definitely looks betta compared to pan-bakin! Juz dat I tink I need to steam it longer coz the centre portion seems abit undone.. LOL!

Overall, it's good! Haha!

Makin Huat Kway !

Went shoppin @Carrefour yest! Spotted this Huat Kway Mix!

I was thrilled when I saw it coz it seems really easy to prepare! Most importantly, Darlin loves to eat Huat Kway! And of coz, Precious Jaen can have a try @it, too! Heehee!

The result was good! @least, it really looks like Huat Kway! I watsapp Darlin the pic, and he sounded happie abt it! Haha!

I was the 1st to taste it...

Mmmmm...... Good! Haha!

My Precious Jaen Is A Big Boy Now !!!

Juz 2.5mths into childcare, I can see that Precious Jaen has grown a lot!!!

This few days, he really shocked me with the amount of things he learnt in childcare!

The followin are what he did:
1. Knows wat is the commonly known body parts (eyes, ears, nose, mouth, hair, hands, legs, and even eyebrows) in Chinese! He can correctly point out to ya where they are!

2. Knows how to listen to instruction. There were 2 occasions where we tested him. 1st time, we asked him to throw things into the dustbin. He did! In fact, he loves to throw things into the dustbin! 2nd time, I asked him to bring Didi's dirty laundry to Maria. From our room, he walked to the kitchen and passed it to Maria! Wow!

3. Knows that he should return the things he took out to the respective places.

4. Learns things pretty fast now! E.g. we told him "act cute" is to put 1 finger from each hand to each cheek. Darlin only told him 2 times, and he actually remembered it!!!

I'm sure there're still a lot of other things about my little boy which will amaze me.. Juz that I've yet to find out wat they are..

I'm glad we made the right choice in putting Precious Jaen to childcare! =ppp
