Issac’s New Hairstyle ^^

Lettuce Salad with Egg, Sweet Corn & Crabsticks #OTH

For the reason of healthy delicious meal that I can can prepare in under 15 minutes. As a mother of two, I am always on the go and  I know that it's not always easy to find time to cook a long, elaborate dinner. Most of the time, I would rather dine outside near the food court at our house after fetching Annabelle from Aunty Joyce’s house and Issac from school.

For both the children, I preferred them to have meals with rice, so that they would be more full instead of soup noodles. For myself, I would want something simple as dinner, I do not want something heavy and I will be getting ‘fatter’ due to late and heavy dinner everyday.

I made this relatively simple salad last week, but I don’t make my own salad dressing, then I do buy a bottle of Kewpie Roasted Sesame and Kewpie Sesame Dressing each. I guess there is no rule as to what you can put in your salad. For this salad, I just put together a few things which I like eating such as sweet corn, crab sticks, sausages and hard boiled eggs! If you like, poached egg would be great too!

Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 5 minutes
Serves: 2

Ingredients:
1/2 can of sweet corn (you can also use frozen sweet corn)
2 eggs
2 pieces of chicken Frankfurt sausages (I used the frozen)
2-3 lettuce leaves, thinly sliced
4 pieces of crabsticks filament (I used the frozen)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Kewpie Roasted Sesame Salad Dressing

Preparation:
1. Boil the water, and soaked the chicken Frankfurt sausages and leave for a few minutes to defrost. Drain water and place in a bowl, and cut into 1 inch size. The same goes to the crabsticks filaments as well, and set aside.

2. At the same time, you can cook your poached or boiled egg. To poach an egg, fill a frying pan with 4cm barely simmering water. Break each egg into a cup and lower into the water. Cook for approximately 2 minutes (you will know it's cooked when the egg white has set). Use a slotted spoon to remove.

3. If using frozen sweet corn, then pour boiling water over the sweet corn and leave for a few minutes to defrost. Drain water and place in a bowl with the butter. Mix well.

4. Toss the lettuce with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

5. To assemble, place lettuce, followed by sweet corn, chicken Frankfurt sausages, crabsticks filaments and finally top with poached egg or hard boiled egg. Drizzle with some salad dressing will do.

Issac loves the salad I made ^^

Heart to Heart Conversation

Thank you for today heart to heart conversation. Kids and I really miss you and love you a lot, and hope you can come back one day... Especially kids, this is sometimes our bedtime conversation and their wish. But as a mum, I have to think rational, which I have to protect them from disappointed again from someone they love the most in the world...

Because I can see into Issac's eyes whenever he think of you. The decision of moving to new home by this year if possible, at least that is the thing which I am trying my best to do for them, giving them a better environment. I am not trying to show off to you. If ask my heart, I really want you to come back, but will you? Or another round again, which I am trying to avoid, because it will hurt the kids as well...that is why I said, just let the God shown us the way...顺其自然...

Issac did ask me, “If we move to the new house, how about the old house? I am a bit sad la, mummy.” I know this is because this old house got all his memories of his childhood with his dad..

I really do not know this afternoon conversation, will it happen or not, just let HIM shown us the way...

Thanks for drop by seeing the kids. Issac and Belle got 1 request, “Please ask daddy next time come, can we have something else to eat, and not every time Bak Kut Teh?

My Super Heroes @ KFC USJ Taipan 30 Jun 2013

Ever since we were separated with Daddy last year, KFC is our favourite weekend getaway place.

Well, mainly is because is due to Mummy’s budget on looking for the most economical meals, and at the same time the children still have playground to play about and a simple descent meal.

Compared with other fast food chain such as McDonald’s and Pizza Huts, KFC is cheaper among the rest for lunch and dinner. For breakfast, may be McDonald’s.

Every Sunday, I will bring both children to the KFC at USJ Taipan mainly for our brunch.

Ground floor is the counter and eating areas, whereby upstairs there is bigger seating area, at the far end near the perimeter window area, there is designated as the children birthday party area. There is a theme sort of Super Heroes.

Both Issac and Annabelle really are Mummy’s Super Heroes ^^ !!!
