Prata Sausage for Lunch

Lately we had not been eating lunch at home so it had become a norm no that lunch will be prepared. Today, Hubby suddenly call up asking whether there is anything to eat at home as he was very hungry. The only quick and easy thing to cook up was the prata sausage and instant mushroom soup.

I'm not a frequent cook so a lot of times the ingredient required to cook the food that I know how to cook is not there. So without hesitation I just informed Hubby that i'll prepared the Prata sausage for lunch. By the time hubby got home which is 45 min from when he call, everything was ready. The Prata sausage was very crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. So that's the quick and simple yet nice lunch we had today.

Pandan Chiffon Cake

Yesterday after work, decided to made a Pandan Chiffon cake for today's breakfast. I have previously try a lot of recipes for this chiffon cake but a lot of time the taste of the pandan does not come out eventhough i used a lot of pandan leave. I was also finding it quite hard to squeeze out the juice from the pandan.


However with the recipe I got from Wen's baking, the cake's pandan smell was very nice and very natural. I only need to add pandan paste to get the pandan fragrant out. The texture of the cake was also nice and fluffy.. Really melt in your mouth. Hubby was say the cake was very nice he he.. So it's definitely a keeper for me to use this recipe.

Mango Cheese Cake

I had made mango cheese cake last week but have no time to upload the picture therefore did not post anything up. Thought I'll just write some thing here first and remind me to load the picture. ha ha..

Since there was some over ripe mango in the fridge I decide to go for a mango cheese cake. I got the recipe from Momster's cuppie corner. The recipe was easy and since i only have 250gm of cream cheese at hand therefore i only used that and not the 300gm as recommended in the recipe. But the cake still turn out nice only thing is mayb not so much of the cream cheese in there. Since my husband is not a really great fan of cheese cake and cheese, so the recipe was quite ok. But with regards to the sugar side, I think mayb next time i'll try to reduce a bit if my mango is very sweet. coz the cheese cake was a bit on the sweet side.

But overall the recipe was nice and the mango smell of the cheese cake was very tempting for me ha ha.. will try to made it again when there are tons of mango in the fridge ha ha..

Banana Chiffon Cake

As I'm off today decided to try baking a Banana Chiffon Cake since got some banana around. Had try previous time already how the texture either very rough or the cake did not rise up. SO after finding a good recommended Banana Chiffon Cake recipe so decide to give it a try. The Cake recipe actually seen from the Small Small Baker recipe adopted from Kevin Chai.

The recipe actually is for a 20 cm chiffon cake but i got a 23cm / 8" chiffon cake mould so i adjusted the recipe to fit my cake mould. The result as expected - the cake's texture was very soft and fluffy... a bit like it would melt in ur mouth ha ha.. The smell of the banana was very significant unlike all the previous banana chiffon recipe i try which there was no smell of the banana. Another thing abt this cake, it rose quite high and the cake did not fall down. So this recipe is sure a keeper for me...

Swimming @ Empire Hotel

It had been quite some time since we brought our son out for a swim. So we decide to go Empire for a swim last sunday. Since he had grown bigger so we decide to go shopping for a new swimming suit for him tat morning.The Weather was very moody tat day.. seem like it could rain anytime.. so we decide to go early and start our journey to The Empire Hotel at 3.30pm.

it was almost 4 pm and was very windy. The weather didn't stop our intention to bring our son for a swim ha ha.. so after changing him into his new swin suit my husband straight away brought him into the pool. He was ok at first but when we start putting him into the water, he started to cry. We were surprise as we thought he should like it. I guess it could be coz he is not familiar with the environment and there was so many ppl so tat scare him a bit.

So we had to bring him out from the pool and decide to bring him to the children playground since we had come all the way. There was a lot of things to play at the children playground - you can swim, play with the swing and they even got a small man-made sand beach ha ha.. so we try to let him play everything but eventually he decided that he would like to play with the sand which he enjoyed himself.He enjoyed himself too much and start ignoring us ha ha.. so we have to keep ourself entertained.

Since the weather was turning quite dark already, we decide it's time to go back and when my son had changed his cloth he was happily running around full energized and wanting to play with the water in the pool. My husband and I had concluded that we need to give time for our son to warm up, familiarize with the environment, first before we bring him into the pool so he is not so scare. SO eventhough we didn't get to swim much but we enjoyed the time spend as well learn a new thing today..
