New Food Discoveries

Lemon Chicken Rice @ S$4.50: I had this when my officemates and I had lunch at Mei Hua. This was horrible! The chicken was not crispy and it tasted like it was fried in old oil. The Hainanese Rice did not suit the chicken and there was too little sauce. Very disappointing!

Mr. Bean Grass Jelly @ S$2.20 and Blueberry Pancake @ S$1.20: I wanted Pearly Iced Milk Tea for breakfast one morning but apparently, it opens at 9:30AM so I was too early! I had no choice but to go to Mr. Bean and buy the Grass Jelly Drink and some pancake. The drink was a bit bitter. It needs more syrup! The pancake, however, was still very warm and the blueberry oozes out when bitten. I really liked it!

Thai Smiles' Beef Hofan @ S$4.50: Rej ordered this during one of our lunchouts this week. I think she said this was good!

Thai Smiles' Olive Rice Claypot @ S$4.50: I wanted to order something new besides the noodles and beef so I got this. At first I thought the 'olive' in the name meant real olives, which I don't like. However, Iris said that the 'olive' meant that the meat was cooked in olive oil. Lime was provided with the rice. I mixed everything together and it was good but not spectacular. It reminded me of Beef Teriyaki with Lime.

Marquee's Salmon with Pasta @ S$6.90: Every time someone in the office quits, we have lunch at Marquee. And this was the case when I told my officemates officially that I will be submitting my resignation after lunch (but that's for another entry). I order this almost every visit because their salmon is always cooked perfectly and their cauliflowers are to die for!

McDonald's McSpicy @ S$5.00: I love love love that McDonald's have their weekday lunch value meals! I ordered this because I thought it was like KFC's Zinger but this was waaaayyy spicier! But it still didn't stop me from smothering my fries with Garlic Chili Sauce! Haha.

Long John Silver's Grilled Chicken Meal @ S$6.70: Ayn ordered this last night when Rej, her and I went to Somerset 313 for the first time. This is a staple order when we visit LJS because it's delicious!

Long John Silver's Chicken Fingers with Shrimp Popcorn @ S$6.90: This is the first time that I ordered the meal with the shrimp. They were very fresh! I'm not surprised though as even the frozen shrimps in Singapore taste like they just came out of the water. Haha. The chicken was like any other chicken fingers but their Sweet Chili Sauce helped. :)

Hospital Cheat Sheets

Hello mommies! Sorry I have been busy trying to balance spending quality time with my baby, the pastry shop @joaniescupcakes and our newly launched online store, Petit Bébé PH. Check out our IG and FB pages if you have time, @petitbebeph. 😍 Anyway, a lot as been asking about the hospital lists that I made for my delivery so here they are! As some of you might know, I am quite OC about paperwork and I have no pain tolerance so I really wanted to make sure that my doctors did not miss anything about my medical history. I was also confined 3x during my pregnancy. This is why I wanted to make sure that my list is detailed so we could avoid mistakes. Information Sheet This is the information sheet that I made. I consulted my OB prior to my delivery about the things that will be asked during check in/ labor. The text is RED are things you need to fill out on the way to the hospital as you might not have enough time to print them when you start contracting. Birth Plan My s

Eating at Home

Reg and I have been trying to lose weight to better control our sugar intake. We ate out a lot when I was still pregnant so he gained "pregnancy pounds" as well. Haha! I have been going to the supermarket to buy 3 weeks worth of dinners the past 2 months and I have been making weekly menu plans to help us achieve our goal. Honestly, I have always felt lazy to do this menu because the meats available at the grocery varies every week. I tend to buy what looks good so I can't stick to 1 set of menu come marketing time. First, let's start with the supermarket. We are closer to Unimart Greenhills but I feel that prices there are higher and there are times when their stock delivery is delayed. I always end up not being able to buy everything that I need. In order for this menu planning to succeed, I now go to my trusty Landmark Supermarket in Trinoma. I used to shop there when I was still single but I stopped going when I moved after getting married because I hated the

Hospital Packing List

I’m an OC person when it comes to packing. I love checklists! When I was at home on bedrest, I had plenty of time to get ready for the delivery. I didn’t want to go to the hospital with incomplete things so I started researching online and mommy blogs on what to pack when D-day comes. I made this list 3 months before my due date. I was paranoid because I had 3 hospital confinements during my pregnancy. I wanted to make sure that everything was ready. When my OB told me that I was being induced on my 37th week, I made sure I ran through everything with my husband and our nanny. I have very low pain tolerance so I didn’t want them asking me where everything was when I was recovering! 😂 I divided the list into 3 categories: Mommy Daddy Baby I had to make sure my husband had an extra pillow and blanket so his back wouldn’t hurt from sleeping in the couch. I was expecting us to stay longer than normal as I was being induced. He needed to be in tiptop shape for our baby gi
