Lunch at Banquet

I ate the lunch I brought yesterday for breakfast this morning because I was staving! Christine and Iris are on leave today so it's just me and Rej for lunch. Since this week is tipid (saving) mode, we decided to have lunch at Banquet instead. Banquet is an air-conditioned hawker center at the basement of The Arcade. The food there are still cheap but more expensive than the usual hawker centers found near the HDBs.


Rej ordered Punggol Mee Goreng @ S$4.00. This is her absolute favorite because she always orders this when we eat there. It sort of looks like Pansit Canton (the real one, not the Lucky Me ones!) because they used yellow noodles. She said it's very tasty - you can actually taste the flavor of the shrimp and squid ont he noodles.


I ordered Popiah @ S$1.80 per roll. This is the first time I have tasted Popiah and I have two words to describe it.. Lumpiang Ubod! The only difference is that the sauce is already inside. Thank you, Auntie for allowing me to take your photo!


A closer look.

Tada! The finished product!

I used some chili sauce to give it a little kick because I opted to exclude it from the Popiah itself.


And for dessert, Iced Milk Tea! Although there was something wrong with the pearls today. They were underdone and were sticking together!

Next food on my list: Murtabak!! :D

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
