Home cooked Dinner @ 08.12.2011

Dishes for dinner today:

Soya Sauce Prawn

Fried Crispy Slipper Fish (I don't know the actual name)

Stir Fried Lady's Fingers with Dried Shrimp

Well, the dinner for today seems simple. It's so easy to prepare and cook without a lot of tedious work. What i want emphasis here is the fried fish. I love to have this kind of fried fish, as it's very crispy after frying, you even can swallow the bone as a whole. 

I personally called this fish as slipper fish as the shape resembles slipper (Japanese slipper) before cutting into small pieces. It's very thin, thus, it is superb, if you can fry it till crispy.......you wont waste a bit of it, as you may swallow the whole chunk of fish! At first i thought this kind of fish will be in the cheaper range, but to my surprise, it's not at all!

Breakfast @ 08.12.2011

Our breakfast, seems a lot, is it?

We missed Mc Donalds quite sometimes already. Today we gonna have it again! I always said that Mc Donalds taste better than KFC, especially when you compare thir breakfast set menu. Thus, i have been loyal fan to Mc Donalds, i believe that both Carmen and Jeanne agree totally to my taste!

KFC Breakfast @ 07.12.2011

Trying out new menu : Blueberry Pancake

We plan to have KFC breakfast today as we are very keen to try out on KFC new menu (Bluberry Pancake). But......to my dismay, it's ot only not as nice as Mc Donald's pancake, but the service also very poor and lousy. The waiting time of order and food served easily takes more than half an hour! It is not because its crowded, but they have nothing to serve on the food counter or either incomplete meal, as some still midway cooking. What a lousy service they have, really incomparable to Mc Donalds!

I swear to myself, we will not have KFC breakfast anymore, i told Carmen about this and asked her not to expect anymore KFC breakfast in the future. Its wasting my time waiting and Carmen will reach school very late after we complete the meal. No more next time KFC!

Double Egg Yolks @ 06.12.2011 Breakfast

 Double Egg Yolk for my Nasi Lemak today!

 Carmen waiting for her serving

Carmen with her all time favorite menu : Roti Telur

It's a lucky day for me today. I enjoy my plate of nasi lemak with an egg, but consisting of two egg yolks instead! It's very difficult to obtain such an egg, only bump across by coincidence. I remember when i was small, my grandma used to have a chicken coop right behind our house at the backyard. She collected eggs daily basis........but thru the years, only a handful of double egg yolks will appear. Think i am a lucky person today!

Swimming Trip @ Bukit Jalil Condominium 05.12.2011

 Carmen

 Jeanne

 3 of the kids playing crazily in water

The purpose of visiting my SIL today is to bring my both girls for swimming at her condominium in Bukit Jalil. Her place is quite a distance from my house. The journey takes about 30-40 minutes by car.

My in-laws was here since the past weekend, they also wanting to visit their daughter and her newborn son. So, i send them there for a gathering before they go back Ipoh in the evening. My hubby's young cousin desperately wanting to follow us and joining us. So i fetch him along with his mom and we proceed to my SIL house.

Three of the kids were so happy playing in water. I only allow them to play in the children pool. The adults pool is just too deep for them at their age. Safety is number one for me.

Best Student Year 4: Carmen Wang

Grandpa Present won from open games to be presented to Carmen

Time really flies. I first sent Carmen to Smart Reader Playschool 3 years ago since the opening of the center. And we had been attending the annual concert for 3 consecutive years. Next year onwards, Carmen will proceed to preschool. Ashamed to said that i still have not enroll her to any of the preschool as i am still waiting for the answer from our priority school for the vacancy available, i think chances are pretty slim by now as we hear no answer from the school.

As usual, my in-laws will come all the way from Ipoh to support Carmen's performances! The environment of this year's event is a bit classy compared to the previous years. We did enjoy the performances by the children and adjourned by hi tea buffet at the hotel. Even though it's quite costly, but we all had a great time there supporting children performances and also the enjoying the events as the crowd are encouraged to participate in some of the games organized. My FIL did participate in the open games and win some prize too! Of course  the prize he won will be presented to Carmen.
