Food Talk #14 - Japanese Curry Rice

My second attempt in cooking this dish. Well it is quite a relative simple and easy dish to cook. Just put the ingredients into the pan, fried them, add water and curry cubes, shimmer and voila the curry is done.

[ ingredients needed - chicken, onions, carrot, potatoes and brocoli ]

[ pan fried all ingredients together ]

[ end product ]

I think I had been rather absent minded when it comes to cooking. For Saturday's steamed egg I had forgotten to add water, so had to have fried egg. For this curry, I forgotten to marinate the chicken, luckily hubby reminded me, if not we will have tasteless chicken to eat. Bad memory.

Kiddy Ride

As the name suggests, any kids who ride on them are happy kids. Same goes for the little one when he gets to ride on the Kiddy Ride. Look how happy and excited is he and he goes on to touch and press everything on the little train.

Birthday Treat

Sis and I were treated to a post-birthday dinner by our little brother. We had dinner at Saizeriya, City Square Mall. This is their second outlet with the first one at Liang Court. They served Italian Japanese food. My brother and sister had great raves about their food. I had their seafood risotto but doesn't quite like it. It tastes like our zhi char's mui fan cooked in tomato sauce. I was quite disappointed. I guess it explains why this outlet was not crowded whereas the Liang Court outlet is often packed.

Stuck

This is what happened to the little one when he decides to play with the stool, flip it over and sit in it. Haha. I let him enjoy his seat for a couple of minutes before he starts to cry, wanting to get out of it.

Baby Talk

This is what the little one is 'talking' in the car during our journey home just now when they came to pick me up from my work place.

Playing Ball

The little one loves to play ball with someone. He does not play ball alone. He loves to throw the ball to someone and let him/her throw it back to him. He will laugh out loud when the other person uses the head to hit the ball. Haha.

Birthday 2010 - 080610

So what can 2 ladies and a toddler do on their birthday? We went out shopping! In the morning we head out to Marina Square and met another friend for lunch. Hubby came and look for us during his lunch break.

Coincidentally there was a Doraemon exhibition at the central stage. The little one was happily running around, touching the photos on the wall.

Next, we (a team of 3 gals and a toddler) headed down to Orchard ION for some shopping therapy. The little one was a good boy because he did not make a fuss while sitting down in his stroller. Guess he was busy observing the surrounding and people around him.

Our friend left us for another appointment around 3pm. Then we went to the bakery shop 'Provence' for tea (for us) and milk (for the little one) break.

I lover their breads! Both sis and I had their cinnamon bun and drinks. The bun is good! After the break, we continued with our shopping.

Around 5plus pm, the little one had another break. He had some biscuits and water before we continued shopping. Shopping was fruitless. Did not managed to buy much. I only got a pair of heels and a top.

Next we retreated to PS Cafe at Palsis Renaissance for dinner together with our hubbies. Their food is good too!

We were seated in the outdoor area. Luckily the weather was breezy and there were sufficient fans around.

Our food - mine was catch of the day (grilled fish). Sis had grilled steak and BIL had St Louis pork ribs. Hubby had beef steak burger.

Reached home closed to 10pm and the little one was ushered to dreamland. A tiring but happy day.

A Trip to NTUC

We went to grocery shop at NTUC earlier on. The little one was place in the trolley as we didn't want to bring the stroller along. He got excited when he was seated in it. However he started making a fuss when he felt sleepy (because it was his nap time already). Hubby wanted to carry him but he refused. So it was me who carried him while we continued with our marketing.

Why are kids always more attached to the mummy rather than daddy?

Playground

Kids really goes ga-ga when they see a playground. That happens to the little one too. We went to have dinner at Changi Airport T3 earlier on and he was hopping with joy when his grandma (my mum) brought him to the playground. He walked to every section, touching and playing with everything. He made a fuss when we carried him away.

[ he enjoyed playing with this bars which will rattle when one touch/move them]

Illness go away

After the little one recovered from his fever, he passed the virus to hubby and me. Both of us were down with cough and flu last week. So we went to see the doctor last Thursday to get some medicine as last weekend was a long weekend. We wouldn't want to be sick during the holidays.

Then on last Friday the little one developed cough. I believed it was passed back to him from us. Haha. No choice but to bring him back to the doctor again.

I am quite relieved that the little one is very cooperative when it comes to medicine feeding time. He opened his mouth and took the medicine without splitting out. This shows how greedy is he, thinking that is some sweet syrup water. Haha.

Happy 14th months old!

My little angel fallen asleep in the car while we are on the way out to attend a wedding lunch last Saturday. Always love to see him sleep. Smuck!
