Canton Noodles

To Tatiana:

This is one good dried yellow noodle to buy. You can stir-fry it in black sauce, put it in soup or pan-fry it with some oil to make it crispy and then pour the seafood gravy on top.

This is different than the one I cooked at Evy's birthday but since I don't know when I will go to Denver, I posted this for you instead. I just tried this brand and think this is way better than the other brand and probably won't be getting that brand anymore. So, do give this canton noodle a try instead!

Evy Drawing

Just showing a picture she drew recently. I asked her, "How come got 5 persons in that picture?" She said, "One is daddy, mommy, Evy, Edda and my friend Courtney." (who lives next door). LOL!

Edda is Sitting

Edda is sitting at 6 months. She turned 6 months today but she started sitting at about 5 and half months. Currently basically got a taste of what we were eating during meals (she loves everything we eat!). Her main meal is oatmeal cereal or/and squash/green beans/ sweet potatoes. Just because her mommy is too lazy to cook porridge for her. LOL! Of course sometimes I will include some fruit like strawberry, banana or pear. I will only cook her fish porridge if I feel like it for now. :P

As usual, Evy wants a piece of the action too! :o)

Claypot Beef Rendang

I used this instant Claypot premix to make my beef rendang for Evy's birthday. This packet was given to me by Lily (thanks Lily :*) because I told her I never tried this brand before, she said it's good and I should try it. :D This packet comes with everything, the coconut powder, the rendang paste and the desiccated coconut to put in the end. Very easy all in one.



I totally agreed. This premix is delicious. I added kaffir lime leaves at the end for extra flavor. Yummy, will sure buy this brand the next time I'm in Denver! :)

Evy's 3rd Birthday Celebration

This year for Evy birthday I had a little party for her over the weekend, only invited 4 little girls about her age and their parents. It took me two days to prepare the food but I had fun. I hope they enjoyed the food! :)

I made her this birthday cake, but my chocolate fudge didn't set in the middle! :( First time making fudge, very amatuer!

Children table with her Dora theme.

Yam Rice

I have been wanting to make a good yam rice ever since I had it in Malaysia. Gina's Uncle Willie's Yam Rice recipe at KC looks so good that I just had to try it. Finally bought some yam the other day for this and viola! This recipe didn't disappoint me and the flavor was good. I had it with bak kut teh just like back home.
