Mango Jelly Cheesecake

This is requested by Lady Faith who is a big fan of mango and cheese. She enjoyed the strawberry cheesecakes she had once which was bought by my sister in laws for my birthday a few years back. Since then, she is somehow hooked to it.

 

I chanced upon the recipe and made my own strawberry cheesecake and Lady Faith loved it! With that, she believed in me and requested a different flavor instead. 😊 Well, when your loved ones requested for desserts, I will try to do make it happen. 😊

 

Though I have made the strawberry cheesecakes a couple of times, but… mango cheesecake will be new. I tried to do it anyway and she loved it! She ate almost three quarter of the cake although the mango was rather sour than sweet. She removed the mangoes and ate the cake…. Hahahahaahah…

 

Well, I guess I will be willing to try making different types of desserts as long as my loved ones are enjoying them. 😊

Lunch Out

I can’t remember when was the last time we brought the kids out to lunch. I would say that it is a rare opportunity these days due to the all the enrichment classes the kids are attending and piles of homework to be completed and the outbreak of the Coronavirus was not making things easier neither.

We are glad that we have this couple of school’s out day due to PSLE marking and we took this opportunity to bring the kids out to lunch. Knowing that Lady Faith has been craving for Japanese Ramen, we decided to bring her to Marutama located at Kallang Leisure Mall as we were on our way to return Mizuki’s water bottle which was left at our house yesterday. 😊

Lady Faith was super excited about luncheon and quickly ordered her ramen. She can’t wait to try it out as we told her that she had been to this restaurant when she was so much younger and used to share my portion. She was delighted to know and gave it a thump up after tasting it. 😊 she asked if the taste is the same as before and I would say… perhaps it was better at the branch located at Liang Court. Not sure about the chef at Kallang but not too bad too.

As of now, Lady Faith is a fan of Japanese Ramen and I guess we will have to check out for ramen joints for her to try instead of going back to the same restaurant. 😊

Extended Family Members Gathering

Who do I call my extended family members? Well, they are somehow or rather related to me in some ways or another. Well, from God-mas to god-dotters and God-grandma… hahahaha… well, that’s what I called extended family members. 😊

Anyway, we will try means and ways to get-together for bonding session and well, it can be anytime and anywhere or any occasion. This time, we did our long-awaited gathering at my place and at the same time, we celebrated mummy Florence’s birthday.

Usually, we will have some mahjong sessions while the kids played in the room. This time, we decided to give the MJ a miss and sat around the dinning table for our tea and chat the afternoon away. There were so much stuff to catch up and it was also good to know what is happening in our office though we may not be working in that company anymore.

Through the years, many things has changed and even many staff left the company like myself but I am very happy and blessed that I am still so close to my extended family members and some other colleagues whom I still keeping in touch with. I always believe that though time may pass so quickly but true friendships will always walk you to the end of your time. 😊

Happy blessed birthday mummy Flo and I want to thank you for your beautiful friendship and love for me. You are always there to hear my worst problems and helped me through and share those happy moments with me too. I thank God for you and may you continue to stay blessed. 😊 love you!

Grilled Teriyaki Squid

I would say this is one of my favourite dishes and if I do not need to share it, I am more than happy to FINISH this myself. 😊 I used to order this dish when I visit the Japanese Restaurants like Ichiban Boshi or Sushi-Tei.

Well, I think Sushi-Tei served one of the best Teriyaki Squid so far and I am kind of missing it. We did not have the luxury to dine out often due to work and school so, I decided to make it our own. 😊 Well, it wasn’t difficult to make this dish, just teriyaki sauce and oven. Well, of course, you need to marinate it before putting it into the oven and have it grilled for about 20 minutes.

The verdict of the dish by the family was pretty delicious but a little soft for hubby’s liking. Guess I can leave it in the oven for another 10 minutes perhaps so it will be slightly harder… 😊 will do that again soon….

Children’s Day Celebration

This would be the last Children’s Day celebration at little pumpkin’s childcare centre. It will be completely different celebration when she celebrates it in her Primary School next year. The teachers came together and planned a huge party for the kids and their theme this year is Superheroes.

Never before having a theme for children’s party but they made it exceptional this year and I am sure the kids of K2 will definitely have a blast. Well, I did not get little pumpkin any superheroes costumes but got her a cape & a mask instead. I just put her on a supergirl t-shirt and a cape… Voila! She turns into a cute little SuperGirl!

She was really excited about the celebration and can’t wait to share the muffins with her friends and teachers too. Feeling happy and excited, she set off to school happily! She told me that she can’t wait to have the party at school as there will be no lessons and just purely good fun! Hahahaahahahah….

Yes, Children’s Day is all about having fun and being yourself! It’s definitely okay to put the books aside for the moment and have a blast!

Happy Children’s Day kiddos!

DIY Pizza

After making our own pizza during the circuit breaker and the girls are hooked instantly. They are always excited to make their own pizza as they are allowed to put in anything they like.

As usual, when they make their own pizzas, my packet of cheese will be gone in seconds and at times, not enough to cover their mini pizza. YES… MINI! Their pizzas are always cheesy and full of mushrooms, bacons/ham or tomatoes and with more cheese.

When it is done, at times, they would prefer one of the pizzas to have truffle oil while the other plain. Well, that is a good choice I would say coz’ you get to eat both flavours. 😊 I can save some money on ordering pizzas since we can make it our own. 😊

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival

This year, we can’t seem to celebrate anything due to Covid-19. In the past years, we will usually have dinner with our family and will bring the kids to walk around with their lanterns around the neighbourhood but it was all quiet this year.

For our family, we celebrated this festival with a simple dinner and the kids managed to light up their lanterns in our porch. We wanted to let them walk around our neighbourhood but it was really quiet and guess it will be safer in our own home though they will have more fun outside.

We enjoyed the mooncakes while the kids played with their lanterns but it was not really completed as we couldn’t find the moon. It was cloudy and guessed the moon was covered by the clouds. I was pretty happy that the girls enjoyed their lantern moments as it is able to light up not only the lantern itself but the walls above and the floors had images of the pictures. 😊

Let’s pray hard for the virus to leave the world so that we can have peace and more opportunities to spend time with our family members.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!
