4D....

Yesterday was my 32nd week's check up and we did a 4D scan. With today's technology you can roughly guess the baby's features in my tummy and whether he/she resembles the mother/father! :) Well, for my case I can only tell he has a BIG nose. It's so prominent and I guess he follows his dad's nose. Hah! :p

Ok, besides the features we were told that he's a tall baby. I can't deny that as I was being poked everyday down below my ribs or when he does his stretching I can feel that he needs some SPACE in my tummy! I can fully understand him. If you falls into the category of being born with long legs and travelling on a long haul flight you just need to STREeeetchh your limbs in your small little "cubicle".

Between he's growing well...he's 1.9kg at 32 weeks. Will see him again in another 2 weeks time :) . Looking forward to my next appointment and till then....

Vicky's Chicken Rice

Remembering those days back in UK, my dear housemate taught us how to cook chicken rice as most of us craving for it. Lately, she recalled my memory again on those days and here's her recipe. I decided to name this chicken rice after her as this simple and healthy cooking taste fairly good!

Here's the simple step...

1. Prepare some sliced ginger, garlic (smashed), and chicken ( I prefer the drumstick)

2. Prepare a pot of water to make chicken stock. Cooked the ginger, garlic and chicken for 40 mins.

3. Prepare to cook rice. Use some of the boiled chicken stock, ginger and garlic for cooking the rice. Don't add in the chicken (which I did) as it will overcook the chicken. After boiling the chicken stock, dish out the chicken and rub them with some table salt. Not too much.

4. Add in some salt and butter (optional) into the pot of rice.
5. While waiting for the rice to cook, prepare the sauce for the chicken. Add few dashes of sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of soya sauce (adjust according to your taste), a dash of pepper and some chicken stock.

6. Voila! Vicky's chicken rice and don't forget to garnish with sliced cucumber. Use the rest of the chicken stock as soup. Add in some spring onion or chinese parsley. Sorry, chicken looks little as we had finish half of the portion. Almost forgot to take pictures!

Wishy Washy

Ok, I have been delaying in washing my BB's clothing. Looking at the heaps of clothing and thinking on the hanging and post washing of folding clothes make me cringe. Is more on the post washing than dumping everything into the washer.

Somehow I had the motivation to start the washing last week and all in all I did 4 loads of washing. Today was the last load and am glad is over. Mission accomplished! Yay! Here's a photo of the post washing and I find it so cute especially the mini clothing hanging on the bamboo pole. And this is how I hang them...

Grilled Pork Ribs with Honey glazed

I luurrrrrrvv pork ribs.. Pork ribs in Bah Kut Teh, grilled honey pork ribs, steam pork ribs in black bean sauce....yummy! I decided to grill my own pork ribs after much left over from last weekend cooking.

Here's my very simple recipe which I use to season my pork ribs. Infact, my kitchen is still very minimal and bare so I decided to create my own recipe and it turns out more than what I expected!

Ingredients

6 pieces of pork ribs chopped

Garlic chopped

Seasoning

1/2 tablespoon of soya sauce

1 tablespoon of black soya sauce

1 tablespoon of oyster sauce

3 packets of chilli sauce ( I use those in packet where you can get free from McD...hehe)
2 packets of tomatoe sauce (same concept as chilli sauce =p)
Few dashes of black pepper

Method

Seasoned the porks ribs with all the above seasoning and garlic. Leave in the fridge for at least half an hour or more. The longer you leave, the better your rib taste. If you have a ziplock bag, keep the pork ribs inside the bag. Understand that it will enhance the smell and taste.

Heat oven to 250 degree and coat some margarine on the pork ribs. Turn occasionally the pork ribs and look out for sign of over cook (in hokkien = chao ta). Towards the last leg of grilling, glazed pork ribs with honey. Dont do it too early as honey will tends to burn your ribs.

Here's the result of my grilled pork ribs with honey and it taste as good as the picture... =) infact, it taste like char siew. Is this how char siew being roasted? hmm....i shall try again in future but using the collar neck meat. Known to be better for roasting char siew.
