Can you guess what Timothy’s Favorite Pizza Topping is? Whenever we eat pizza, he would go digging for his favorite topping and whack them all. He will not leave any for us. I remembered when he was younger, he didn’t like it. He would spit it out. Now it is a different story. Oh well, I probably should request extra of this topping, next time I ordered a pizza.

I always thought my children were small eaters. They don’t really each much. One day Emily was sick so I had to take care of her at home. However my babysitter helps me to cook for her. She brought her food over. Wow, it was a big portion. I said to myself, can she finished all. I wonder does she feed her this much everyday?

I was amazed that Emily finished 90% of the bowl above. 😯 Funny, yet after coming back from babysitter, having eat that much, they still say their hungry. :think: During the weekend, they only can eat 1 small bowl of rice with dishes. Both of them take very long to finish their rice. When it comes to cakes, ice-cream or satay, they can gobbled it down very fast. Children…sigh.

Emily and my hubby are a bread person. However Tim and I do not fancy bread that much. Emily love to eat face bun, a face on the bun. It has kaya inside the bun and I must say it is delicious.

Doesn’t the face bun look cute? It smiles at you even when you are chomping it down your little tummy. Emily can finish the whole bun with no problem at all. This is good for snacking time.

How many of you have tasted Kandos when you are young? I remembered that I used to buy Kandos choc in school. I was a junk eater and not really interested in eating rice. I remembered my mother took me to the doc asking him to prescribe something to increase my appetite. Guess what he gave? He gave me supplements instead. He said I can get the necessary nutrition from there.

Last week, I went grocery shopping, I found Kandos. Yummy. The taste is still the same. Wow after 30 years, I can still remember the taste. It is one of my childhood memories. Kandos anyone?

We tried the Vietnamese Beef Noodles, Pho at Curve. Actually it is not bad and has a lot of beef stuff in it. You never can imagine so many parts of the cow can be eaten until you have this. The noodle was a bit thin and they didn’t give enough bean sprout and basil leaves. Common, those are not very expensive, they should give us each one place rather than a plate for 2.

Of course, the one in the Bay Area US is still the best. If you are going to US, you must try it. Anyway back to the one at Curve, it is RM11 for regular and RM13 for a super duper bowl. Trust me it is really huge. For me, the regular is enough to stuff me. So far, it is the best Pho I ever eaten in Malaysia. If you know another, please ping me.

Zara’s mama wants to know what I had for breakfast. Here ya go:

If I have an early morning meeting which I often do, I can only have a cuppa of milo or tea from my favorite vending machine. Yes, I agree that I have to eat more than this.
If I don’t have early morning meetings or late night meetings, I will have a delicious breakfast with hubby and Tim. We take Tim to school early morning and we will eat near there. We take all the unhealthy food like pau, roti canai, nasi lemak, loh mai kei (glutinous rice with chicken) or prawn mee. Tim loves the loh mai kei. He even asked daddy to pre-order for him when the seller runs out.

What about Emily? She usually wakes up late, so she will have breakfast at babysitter place. During weekend, sometimes we have dim sum together as a family. I just love dim sum and the hot “tan tart” (egg tart). Yummy, will go for that tomorrow.

Guess what the children are up to with the hammer. In order to eat this, you need a hammer. Both are ready to give a good whack.

Yes, we went to Tambun Fisherman’s Village to have seafood again. The seafood is cheap. For RM200 – RM300, you can feed a table of 10. There is lots of fresh seafood there with a river view. Timothy loves the prawn and we had it steam with ginger garlic sauce. Funny thing is he doesn’t get any rash from eating the prawns or seafood. Lately he developed a rash not from seafood but we didn’t know where it came from. It must have been something he eaten.

We had the crab baked so that we can taste the natural crab taste without any sauce. It is lovely and simply delicious. Sometimes simple cooking is still the best and healthy too.

My hubby said a healthy meal is when he sees all colors on the plate. I was so touched by his remark. Look what I made for him and the children. It is simple and colorful, of coz tasty too.

I love to cook and hope to learn more fast and quick baking type of food. Jamie Oliver, the naked chef does a lot of those. It took me 1 hour plus to make the above dish. The fish was bake with herbs and spice. The pasta was top with bolognaise mushroom sauce, which you can make your own or buy ready made. I added extra carrots, onions, celery and sausage for my children. Next I will try to bake chicken. Simply yumilicious!

Yesterday morning while I was getting into the car to send Timothy to school, there was a stench smell in the car. First thought was it is certainly a dead rat somewhere. My hubby drove out and I look to see whether there was a dead rat on my porch. None.

Later, the smell followed us in the car. Second thought I was afraid that the cat must have brought the dead rat into the car. But how? I kept winding down the window to get fresh air. After a while, I sniff and it came from my son’s bag. I open each compartment and one of it threw out that stinky aroma. Yeak. I passed the bag to my hubby.

My hubby took out a bag of rotten stuff. I am not sure what it was as it was moldy and green. Timothy shouted “That’s the egg I prepared in school” He didn’t tell us that before. Funny thing is when my husband clear the bag everyday, he didn’t notice the smell. Hrmm…. :think: One in a while you get suprises from your children, be it good or bad.

Gbay: Another China Product In Question.

Durian is in season and my hubby bought a few back. Tim loves durian and he can wallops a lot. Emily, it depends on her mood. If she likes it, she will take 1 biji. To sums it all up, all of us have the durian gens.

When I was young, I try to avoid taking because I couldn’t stand the smell of my hands after eating. However I love eating it especially when it is from the fridge. There was a point in time when I use plastic gloves to eat. My parents are a great fan of durian and they are sure to get a bunch when it is in season. We will have a durian party. My hubby side his mom and brother dislike durian.

As you know Penang is a place to get good durians and even expensive ones too. Imagine now durian have different grade and types. I prefer the sweet ones than the bitter ones. There are a couple of places here where they have “eat all you can durian buffet”. I am serious. It cost between $15-$20 per person. When my children grow up, we will sure go for the durian buffet. Yum Yum…
