Simple and quick to cook!

I love chilli and love chewy food!

Just used the chilled hay bee hiam (chiili with dried shrimps) from supermaket and Thai sweet chilli sauce for the sauce.

Yummy and satisfying!

I fell in love with the Kasutera cake when I first tasted it in Japan.

Actually, not just this.Other cakes I've tried in Japan taste so fine,soft and heavenly!

I passed by one small bakery in Ginza one night and bought just one slice of cake back to hotel. Even if it's just one slice, they place it in a small box with dry ice in it!

Back to Kasutera...I found it at basement one of Takashimay.selling at SGD20.

It's doesn't taste exactly the same as what I've tasted in Japan...but still heavenly soft,but sweeter.

I love this Ayam Penyet from Lucky Plaza.

Now there are two restaurants in Lucky Plaza. The Original at 4th floor expanded and open another one in the same building.

Just don't order their coffee.Taste really awful.No Smell and taste of coffee...only color of kopi and taste of milk.

Printable Free worksheets for kids

Since B1's able to hold pencil, I have been printing worksheets,coloring pages,handwriting pages for her.

I brought a few of such worksheets, a small bag of color pencils,or those color pencils with many interchangeable colors in one pc in my bags all the time.

She did it while waiting for our food when we eat out,on flight when we travel.When I had dinner or high tea with girl friends, she would be busy doing coloring pages with my girl friend's daughter.

That's the best way to kill 2 birds with 1 stone,keep her occupied yet at the same time learned something in the process.

Mazes and Word Searchs, and some crtical thinking worksheets are very useful in training thei concentration and patience.
