Kuala Lumpur with Kids - Batu Caves - Twin Towers

Image
The second day of our trip was spent outdoors and exploring what Kuala Lumpur has to offer. First up was the Batu Caves, an iconic and popular tourist attraction, about 25 minutes away from KL city centre. It is a limestone hill, rising to almost 100m above ground, comprising of a labyrinth of caves. These caves feature ornate Hindu temples and shrines, with beautiful statues and paintings. At the front of the cave is an impressively large statue of Murugan, a Hindu deity. To get into the main temple cave, we have to climb a steep flight of almost 300 steps. Remember to wear comfortable clothes and shoes! More steps to the top. Beautiful view just as nature intended! There are lots of monkeys frolicking around freely. They generally don't bother you. Just do not try to touch them - I saw a tourist trying to pat one of them and it turned around and growled aggressively. We particularly enjoyed the Dark Caves. The 45-minute guided tour to enter ...

Kids Craft - Folded Paper Drawings

Image
Following the fun the little brother had with his growing caterpillar  drawing, the 2 older brothers quickly made their own versions. This was their idea but I had to draw it as it was tricky to get the proportion just right. All is not what it seems in the sea... The rest were drawn by the 2 of them. Psyduck that turned into alien. Hidden family. And if I have to pick one FAVOURITE, it will have to be this one below!! Lol. 💙

Braised Chicken Pumpkin and Mushroom Chinese recipe

Image
Pumpkin is very versatile and can be cooked in many different ways. Whether it is roasted or stewed or stir-fried, it always tastes fantastic. On top of that, pumpkin is rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. I love pumpkin and always stock up on them whenever I do my grocery shopping. Pumpkin is so rich tasting that I don't need to put all sorts of seasoning to make it flavoursome. A little soy sauce is all I need to bring out the lovely flavour of this dish. Braised Chicken Pumpkin and Mushroom Ingredients: 500g boneless chicken thighs - cut to bite-size pieces 500g pumpkin - cut to bite-size pieces 100g shitake mushrooms - quartered 3 cloves garlic - minced 2 shallots - minced salt and pepper 1 tbsp. light soy sauce spring onions Instructions: Heat cooking oil in a wok over medium-high heat, add garlic and shallot, fry till fragrant Toss in chicken, season with salt, pepper, and light soy sauce, fry till bro...

Thermal Cooker Beef and Pumpkin Stew recipe

Image
I am always looking for ways to make cooking simpler and less time-consuming. Who likes to spend hours slaving over the hot stove in our sunny island... definitely not me. But I still want hearty, delicious, wholesome meals for the whole family. So here comes my favourite thermal cooker to the rescue. I have been using my thermal cooker a lot lately. It is perfect for making soups and stews. One of the greatest features of the thermal cooker is that it is an amazing one pot wonder. I can brown the meat, saute the vegetables, then add in all the liquid right in one pot. When I come back after a good 6-8 hours, what I have is a rich, warm, thick stew that smells divine. Perfect for any busy mum! If you don't have a thermal cooker, you can use a slow cooker instead. Always choose beef that has a good amount of marbling for stews. These have collagen-rich connective tissues that break down after many hours of cooking and become meltingly tender. My boys call them ...

Kuala Lumpur - Eating out with Kids - Pavilion Mall

Image
We were never short of dining options whilst in KL, there's food at every corner, be it food court, fast food chains or mid-range to expensive restaurants. Our favourite dining options are the ones found in PAVILION MALL. It is a slightly upscale shopping mall with a good mix of high street and expensive shops and numerous dining establishments. We were there on a daily basis to try out the various cuisines on offer. I really liked the cool, relaxing vibe of the eateries - ranging from cozy coffee shops, quick bites, classy bars and family-friendly restaurants.  We had a delightful Western fair one night.     The kids' choice - Japanese comfort food, another night. We also had Ippudo for their silky, al dente ramen cooked in flavoursome pork broth. Worth queueing up for! Our FAVOURITE of all has to be the Korean fried chicken restaurant KYOCHON at Level 1, which we absolutely loved. The BEST Korean fried chicken we've ever had! ...

Kids Craft - Easy 5 Ang Pow Red Packets Lantern

Image
This is the easiest lantern we've ever made. The 2 boys managed to make it by themselves with no help at all. It only requires 5 ang pow packets. Fold the 4 corners so it forms a diamond. Staple each packet to the next at the top along the folded edge. Do all 5 and form a circle. Bend and puff the middle then staple the bottom part. Before you staple the last 2 ang pows together, put a ribbon/string in, which has been stapled to a piece of paper so it doesn't slide out. This is for hanging the lantern. Join the 2 corners of each ang pow and staple in the middle to form a curved top and bottom. Done and hung up in their room. This is the last lantern we are making this year. I think we've had quite enough. The rest of the lanterns are here: 1. CNY Ang pow lantern - lucky star 2. CNY Ang pow lantern - lucky eight 3. CNY Ang pow lantern - Chinese coin 4.

Ikan Bilis (dried anchovies) Stock recipe

Image
When I want a tasty soup but don't have the time to make chicken stock, I turn to this ikan bilis stock recipe. Unlike chicken stock that requires 1-2 hours of boiling, this stock only needs 30 minutes of boiling time. This is fantastic as a soup base for steamboat and other soup dishes, or to be added for cooking whenever stock is required. I got these tea filter bags from Daiso and they are great to put the ikan bilis in and discard after boiling. This saves me the hassle of removing all those black residue left behind by the ikan bilis. But if you don't have them, just pour the stock through a sieve after boiling. Ikan Bilis (dried anchovies) Stock Ingredients: 100g ikan bilis (dried anchovies) 1 inch ginger - bruised 2 litres water salt Instructions: Rinse ikan bilis then put them into tea filter bags (I used 4) Bring water to boil in a soup pot, add ikan bilis and ginger Simmer for 30 minutes Discard ikan bilis and ginger Add salt to...

Potato Fritters (Perkedel Kentang) Indonesian recipe

Image
Indonesian cuisine features a lot of fried food. To accompany the main dishes, there are usually some fried food of some sort, like corn fritters , vegetable fritters, fried meat balls etc... They make perfect side dishes to the main meals, as a snack or treats for the kids. This potato fritter (perkedel kentang) is another example. It is an unassuming, humble side dish that is tasty and filling. It is incredibly delicious eaten with Indonesian sambal (chilli sauce). Soft and savoury on the inside and crispy on the outside, and extremely addictive!

Chinese New Year Craft Ang Pow Ball Lantern Tutorial

Image
This lantern requires a whopping 30 ang pows to make. I put off making this every time as it takes such a long time to make and my fingers would be sore after so much folding and stapling... But this lantern is just too big and pretty to pass up! My boys were like "It's so nice, Mum, can you make one for my class too..." 😏 The boys are encouraged to contribute some CNY decorations for their classes. But it's getting harder to get 30 ang pows of the same design each time. The shops nowadays are trying to be more hip and less conventional that I often get a pack of ang pows all in different colours/design. It's so annoying right! Like I can't use them to make lanterns and I can't even give them away as it's strange to give out ang pows in different colours, lest my nephews/nieces think they are all colour-coded and start comparing! (or maybe I'm just over-thinking here...) This lantern is simple enough to make. But please set aside...

Nutritious Red Yeast Rice Clay Pot Chicken recipe

Image
This recipe is a twist to the classic red yeast rice soup that my mum has been making for as long as I can remember. She made it for us when we were growing up, and now she makes it for the grandkids too. It's a simple bowl of comfort food that everyone enjoys. She makes it so frequently for my boys that I just don't want to make it at home too, even though I know they won't complain. We need variety, boys! The boys are still recovering from the bout of cough and cold, and I wanted to make something nutritious and warm for them. The  ginger wine clay pot chicken I made a few days ago was such a hit that I decided to make another clay pot dish today. I used similar ingredients to the usual red rice soup but cooked it in a clay pot. It turned out to be much more fragrant and tastier. The chicken is juicy and tender, it soaks up all the flavours of the red yeast rice and Chinese wine. And look at the gorgeous colour!  😋 ...
