Back to old school... ;)
Passed by a biscuit shop and found some really old school tidbits! Like the HIRO chocolate coated cake, the "ding dang cat" chocolate coated nuts...
I caved in and bought this! It's not so easy to find such things nowdays. Little girl requested for yellow... She took 2 bites and gave it back to me. I guess its because it's durian flavoured.
Then tried my green one and finished it. ;p here is a photo of her eating what she calls the "round and round"...
PS: This morning hubby was helping the sleepy gal into her school uniform. She stood up and just when hubby thought she was going to hug him and go back to zzz, she pushed hubby aside. Ran to the living room to pick up the "horlicks" sweets. She remembered that the night before mummy had promised her that she could have them when she woke up. Such a cute darling!

Kiddy lunch! ;)
Had lunch at Sun with Moon Japanese restaurant at wheelock place today! Bought a kids meal for the little gal. When it came, she was so amused by the presentation, she went "happy birthday to me uh?". Lol, she thought it was a cake... :p As always, I learnt something - "forget abt kiddy meals!" because you land up eating more! Something I won't want to be doing!!!

妈妈的爱心﹣八珍汤
Yes, mum made me her version of 爱心八珍汤! This soup is a chinese herbal soup that can be cooked with meat (chicken or pork) or without meat.
The soup is something which I drink regularly as a teenager until I got married. I did not get to drink it as much because I no longer stay with the persons who cook this soup (my mum and my grandma/aunt)! Anyway it's because I am lazy because the soup is really easy to prepare.
About 3 months back, I cooked the soup and shared it with my mother-in-law. :) This round my mother cooked it for me. For some reason, hers' taste better and it could be because I used "black chicken" while she used the normal chicken.
For those who are wondering, this soup should be taken regularly (monthly) by girls if possible. The tonic soup will nourish the blood. It is known to reduce menstratual pains and keep cycles regular. Some fellow mothers say it's good for women trying to concieve as it "warms" the womb. Men can drink this soup but in small quantities... :)
Anyway it's quite easy to prepare. You can boil it for 2-3 hrs on stove or use a slow cooker. I do not like to keep watch on fire so I use a slow cooker.
Step 1: You can buy a pack of the herbs for the soup. I usually buy from Eu Yang Sang and wash them before use (thou EYS says no need to wash la).
Step 2: You can choose to buy meat (about 1 chicken chopped up or into halves) to make the soup. Just wash the meat then place them into the slow cooker. Place the herbs on the top of the meat and pour water to cover the herbs and meat (if any).
Step 3: Set the slow cooker on high for about 3 hrs and the soup should be done. My grandmother usually cooks the soup on stove for about 1-2hrs only. The soup is usually dark when it's done... :)
This is my mum's 爱心八珍汤 (one BIG BOWL!). Thank you mum (you're the best!).
