Corn

Posted by HoWeiSek | Cooking,Health,My Musing,The Brat | Wednesday 13 May 2009 10:24 am




Chloe’s favorite is corn on the cob.  She cannot get enough of it… and will eat as much as you give her.  Corn is absolutely easy to cook.. and healthy too.  So if your kid isn’t eating healthy.. you can try corn on the cob.  10 mins.. is all it takes to cook the corn.  If you haven’t seen corn growing in Chloe’s grampie’s garden.. let me know.. i’ll look for a picture for you.  Fresh from the garden to the kitchen.

Chloe is in love with strawberries.  For those who are not aware of this.. her grandparents grow their own.. and sell some – afterall, they do have more than 100 acres of land eh.  But this was store bought.. and she wants to show you all how big these strawberries are.  During the summer, Chloe picks her own strawberries from the garden of her grandparents and eat them fresh.  Fresh peas, fresh corn, fresh blueberries .. and raspberries.  Chloe had this for a snack before going to bed – she insisted on healthy snack wor..  *roll eyes*

Unfortunately, I whine a lot unlike you .. muahahahah!! yer so strong..!!  I hear you about the food.. but no food here.. to eat.. so will never get fat .. in fact.. i think i lost weight since coming to Canada.

Sorry about the chinese dramas.. and the cold turkey.  I forwarded your email to Sam – since Lina is busy with personal stuff.

Thanks again for sharing.

mb

Not many men knows how to pamper their wives.. yes.. training is very important.. else they will drive us nuts eh.  So all to be married or not married girls out there.. make sure you train them from the very beginning.  My grandmother used to say… it’s better to be loved than to love.  And oh.. so true.

5. would love to have more kids if it hasn’t been for Sara’s disease.
6. after this experience, believe more in fate.
7. am still wondering if it’s love with hubby after all this years cos i met him on a rebound. hubby is a good and honest person but doesn’t know how to pamper me or maybe i didn’t know how to TRAIN him to do it.
8. will i one day find true love that’ll sweep me off my feet like in the movies??? am already 40, why such thoughts???
9. i don’t like whining cos it doesn’t solve anything.
10. love to eat and can’t resist food when i see it but now just turn forty must be really careful as metabolism not what it used to be.
11. love to read all sorts of recipes but when it comes to cooking, am quite useless. just discovered prima sauces and they’re god-sent for ppl like me.
12. am one who makes lots of plans, searching and documenting info but many a times never see them thru eg. would love to open business for recycled products, alimentary or non, or even pastry shop but don’t know where to start…
13. would love to be able to blog but can’t get my thoughts sorted and organised and don’t know where to start…red tape and all…
14. tries to return to s’pore to see mom every 2 years, should be flying home this july, ummm food here i come…
15. sis-in-law frm s’pore just dropped by for 2nites, brought me 2containers of pineapple tarts and 1 of prawn roll – gobbled them down in 2DAYS!!!
16. the hassle and cost of getting prima sauces and s’pore tidbits sent to me, don’t know if worth it?? sis in law tried sending bak kwa but custome rejected and all the $$$involved!
17. finally had a pc in the house like 4 years ago and has opened up my world. now thanks to MB with the downloads, i’m out of my cold turkey for cantonese programs, thanks MB!!!
18. very true abt how we used to grow up playing by ourselves til dark whilst kids nowadays have to be constantly chaperoned even to the playground, sad isn’t it?
19. enjoys Ugly Betty, CSI, Myth busters and true crimes.
20.haven’t found a place here in italy that sells frozen roti prata or s’pore stuff so feel very deprived.
21. loves to cycle to work with my platforms.
22. weather in milan is yucky, usually cold and grey in the winter. even tho april is springtime, today it’s rainy, cold and grey outside too, what a bummer!
23. kids and i would love to have a dog at home but as usual hubby against it as he can’t bear having animals in apartments, he could be right but why should my kids be deprived of the experience of learning to love and live with animals.
24. hate housework, lucky have a lady to come in once a week. everytime she goes away, the house is spick and span and by evening when kids come home it’s as if a hurricane came by…grrr
25. would do anything for my kids but am just hoping they’d grow up to become righteous and useful human beings.

gosh that was tough trying to think up 25 things to write.

Cooking With Music

Posted by HoWeiSek | Awesome,Entertainment,My Musing,Useful Links | Saturday 9 May 2009 5:48 pm




I’m sure you all know that I live in a very small town.  A town so small that we only have one radio station to choose from. They do have an online presence but most times I can’t put it on because their bandwidth is overloaded or something of that kind.  So if I am home cooking.. and you all know that I cook a lot since the brat doesn’t eat any other food but home cooked food, it can get really boring cutting and chopping and stir frying, with nothing in the background.

Anyhow, I’m getting long winded – haha!!  I am a big fan of John Chow – don’t know who?  John Chow is an Asian living in Vancouver B.C.  – yes, same country as I, but different province – the other side of Canada. He helps people make money online and he recommended this Online Radio Station for his readers to check out. He’s also holding a contest where you can win up to $4,000 in cash!!!!  Yes! You heard right, it’s up to $4000 !!! Would be nice to have extra cash right..??  The contest is sponsored by OnlineRadioStations.com and you can check it out – I have a little widget right at the bottom of this post.

The Online Radio Stations are absolutely FREE and have a pretty neat set up. Registering is easy, they don’t make you answer 100 questions before you can start listening, so I really liked that part.  A great selection of different kinds of music are available for you to choose from and since I love quite a variety of music, I can just add them to my play list. I love the country station, the bluegrass station and also anything arty farty like Boccelli.   So yes, if you like good online music, check out Online Radio Stations and if you want to win some money – check out this Radio Contest.  Don’t say Mama BoK never share, share with you eh.

Big Prawns Thick Bee Hoon Soup

These food pictures were sent by Lina from Singapore about a month ago.  Sorry .. Lina, it took so long to put up.. but i am sharing it according to the date i received.  Yes.. more to come folks.  As you all know .. Singapore is known as a food paradize.  If you have ever been to Singapore.. you would know that coffee shop and hawker food are the best .. and the cheapest.  One can eat a feast for as little as $10 or $60 depending on what you wanna eat.

Hi MB,

This is what we had for dinner. Supposed to cook but end up eating out ….(lazy hor?) hahaha

This Canto Restaurant is situated along Keong Siak Street. Serves pretty good food n usually very crowded during peak hours.

Breast Cancer – Walk To Empower On Mother’s Day

Posted by HoWeiSek | Around The World,Awesome,Meet Up With,My Musing,Useful Links | Thursday 7 May 2009 2:59 pm




I know this is a lil’ short notice.. but Michele one of our reader here in Ice Cube Junkie had written the below to ask for help.  And yer all know me..  if it is anything charitable and legit.. i would definitely help.  Mother’s day is round the corner, this is your chance to donate for this awesome cause .. in your mother’s name.  MIchele’s profile is below, so it is legitimate.  Although her goal is very low, she wants to exceed from her original goal.  Will you help me help her..???  please..?? pretty please..???

And since I’m asking for your help, i will be the first to donate.  No amount is too small and every lil’ bit helps.  If you have donated .. please leave a comment here.. so that Lina can contact you.

Hi Mama Bok,
>
> I notice how you’re always posting things for others so that they can get votes/donations.  I was wondering if it’d be possible for you to do the same for me?
>
> I’m doing a walk this Sunday, May 10 (Mother’s Day) for the Breast Cancer Network of Strength and was trying to rack up some donations, but haven’t had a lot of luck with it.  I was hoping maybe if you could post this information on your site so that I might get some support?  This is a really good cause and I’ve always wanted to participate in it.  I just hope that I can get as many donations as possible despite the goal I set. It seems so hard for people to donate these days.  Here is my profile to donate: http://walk.networkofstrength.org/Page.aspx?pid=211&frsid=15149

Orange Zest

Posted by HoWeiSek | Awesome,Cakes/Desserts,Chinese,Food From Home,My Musing,Useful Tips | Wednesday 6 May 2009 12:41 pm




A few days ago, I wrote about making some Red Bean soup..  but i didn’t have the right orange.  I asked everyone to guess what i used instead.. and some really had some great guesses.  Others took the opportunity to ask me for some links *slap forehead* but this is what i did.  Made orange zest outta the orange.. and the red bean soup tasted really good still.  Not as good.. as i would have expected.. but it wasn’t bad.

See the oranges floating on top.. yup.. those were the zest i put in.  I told you .. migration makes one really smart.. muahahhaha!!!

This is long over-due.  Sorry .. !  Tsuchiyama .. that i took so long to thank you officially.   This arrived more than 10 days ago.. and I had been so busy.. because of Chloe & her school stuff.. and the store of course, that I had not gotten the time to take a picture of the food that was sent all the way from Japan.  The postage is extremely expensive.. and I’m forever grateful to Tsuchiyama for being so thoughtful.

On each individual food..  Tsuchiyama had taken time to write out what i was supposed to do with it.. and how it should be eaten.  Definitely got my heart.. :)   I am really thankful.. for your generosity.. and your kindness.  I donch know how to repay you .. Tsuchiyama.

I’ve made so many wonderful ppl on this food blog.. and i’m forever grateful for all your friendship.  For those who are still waiting for your passwords, i wanna let you know that Lina is working really hard on it.  Once again.. THANK YOU VERY MUCH .. TSUCHIYAMA!

Here’s Fast & Furious for you.

Since this is a food blog, I figured I would share with you .. a picture of my kitchen.. in hope that you will share your picture of your kitchen too.  As you all know.. the way to your kid’s and man’s heart is thru’ the tummy ..  and as a mummy, I really try hard to make home cooked food for my kid .. no matter how tired or busy we are.  She is somewhat spoiled .. and don’t really eat anything except home cooked food.. and french fries.  So show me how your ktichen look like..  and let me get to know you.

my kitchen

Usually even my table cloth is put neatly away, so that messy table cloth is “ang moh’s” job.  So come on .. be a sport.. and send me pictures of your kitchen.. and tell me where you are from eh.

In the meantime, here is Brothers & Sisters S 3 Ep 23.  Enjoy!

PS:  Found Desperate Housewives S 5 Ep 21 – enjoy! Ok.. ok.. i know some donch enjoy the english sitcom so much, so here is the Sniper by Edison Chen.

PPS : Sniper in Cantonese version.
