Fried Chicken Wings

Tried frying up some chicken wings yesterday for the very first time.  Used Nona Original Recipe Fried Chicken Flour to coat the wings Methods are pretty straight forward. 1) Beat some egg white (I added a dash of salt & pepper to the egg white) to coat the chicken wings. 2) Leave them for about 15 mins. 3) Coat the chicken wings with Nona flour. 4) Heat oil at high flame/heat. *Make sure oil is hot enough before putting in the chicken wings.5) Turn flame/heat to lowest, and put in the chicken wings. 6) Fry till golden brown....

Speedy Milestones after the Big 1

Lil K has been a very slow and steady baby, or should I say a lazy baby when it comes to hitting his milestones. It wasn't something that we would worry about since he's a preemie for a start and we've been told that we should measure his milestones from his EDD instead of his birthdate, but there will always be questions from people "Can he crawl yet?", "Can he stand yet?" , "Can he walk yet?", etc. Of course, we would try to guide him to achieve the milestones, but his learning style is similar to the good old phrase "You can lead a cow to the river bank, you can't force her to drink". A good example is we've...

Malaysia On Sales!

Recently, there were links of a few websites being shared on my friends' Facebook pages. http://www.mydeal.com.my http://www.everyday.com.my http://www.hikupon.com And I'm sure there are more similar sites like these. What all of them have in common is, in a nutshell, almost everyday there will be new promotions or discounts being offered - usually from 50% off onwards. Once the minimum quantity of coupons sold for a certain promotion/discount, then the deal is ON. After the deal period has passed, an email will be sent out to confirm on the purchased coupon. If the deal is ON, you can download the coupons for usage. Else,...

It's almost a year being a mom!

9 days left to lil K's big One! Gosh, I just can't believe how time flew by us. Last year at this time, I was still confined to bed rest at home due to placenta praevia and lil K kept kicking/banging/knocking against the placenta till it bled 3 times! First episode was when I was in week 29, 2nd episode in week 31, and the final episode in week 34. Yupe, I was hospitalized thrice due to the bleed, and confined to bed rest for a month! My gynae gave me the green light to return to work in week 33 with the condition that I have...

Working The Kitchen Out!

Finally did some groceries marketing last weekend coz lil K's food has ran out. Started cooking again yesterday, after resting for almost 2 weeks as the in laws and my parents were in town, and the Mr Hubs has some dinner functions in between - leaving me with more excuse not to cook. :p Anyway, I was feeling very ambitious yesterday - wanting to cook dinner & bake a cake at the same time. So, as soon as I reached home I prepared the soup first (so that it has more than an hour boiling cause for Chinese soups...

Hello!

After much contemplation, I’ve finally made up my mind to restart my blogging activities which I’ve derailed from after my wedding preparations.And having a baby made me even lazier to blog even though I should keep a journal of my journey from being single to married and now into motherhood. Anyway, since I'm picking up blogging again, but I have to say the updates won’t be frequent. It's just at least I have a place to turn to when I want to write in detail of any ups and downs or random thoughts/happenings (besides shouting short messages in FB!). So then, till we meet again....
