I don't usually buy Lor Mee, but I like the Lor Mee from Kampung Admiralty Hawker Centre. They offer Fish Lor Mee, which is free from pork, solely fish and can add prawns, the one shown above, which I had purchased.
This stall is very popular. It is always having a long queue and I am willing to queue because the food is nice. I always ask for no vinegar and more bean sprouts.
Yesterday I had a pandamart delivery. This time I was very scared if I get several bottles of 1.5L drinks. But when I saw my delivery contained two bottles of 1.5L drinks, I was rather relieved. However, I saw on the rack, there was a packet of several bottles of 1.5L mineral water -- something which I had before, I was scared in future if I was the one who will get that. I was thinking that if I get those delivery, I am going to report to support. I am not going to risk my life taking the bottles of drinks anymore. It is just too heavy for me and for my bike.
And I am rather grateful that yesterday for my delivery, they packed it into two bags. It is so much easier to handle. Sometimes, they just packed everything into one bag, which is heavy.
Something not very useful when accepting pandamart delivery is that we don't get to see what are the stuff that we are going to deliver before accepting the task. It is only after accepting the delivery that we got to see what the customer ordered. So if the delivery is too heavy for the bicycle or bulky to carry, we cannot decline or cancel the order.
I hope this is something that Foodpanda can look into it.
Dora is my companion during mealtime. She would come to me when I eat. She would also come to the kitchen when I was preparing food. She is just so curious about everything. When I open parcel, she would come and explore also. She is just so cute.
In the beginning, it was Isaac who wanted to keep her. They seek my permission and I was okay with it. As the days past, my affection for her grows. Now I like her so much.
Whenever I have fish, I would give her some of it. She loves to eat prawns also. She also eat chicken and crab. But her favourite is seabass and golden pomfret.
Clearing some of the things in the house. This box of animals toys are in very good condition, as good as new. So we clear this first. I took a picture and put it up for sale in Facebook. I put a price of only $5 and the next day, I got endless queries coming in.
I was working and have no time to respond to the incoming message. As I was cycling, I could hear all the message coming in. It was an overwhelming good response for such a cheap price. When I finished my work, I respond to the questions. I did not manage to go through all the list of people. As I was responding to just a few, in the end I managed to sell to a Facebook user already.
The animals definitely cost more than $5 but I just randomly quote a price. The animals were very useful. Can be used as educational toys for children.
Last week, 14 June 2021 was dumpling festival. I managed to purchase a bunch of Nghee Zhang from the market at $5 as shown in the picture above. Nghee Zhang is tasteless and it is nice to eat with sugar. It is yellowish on the inside as shown in the picture below. It just glutinous rice dipped with sugar. It is nice.
This year I had never eaten Bak Zhang. Bak Zhang is so expensive now. Each cost like averagely at least $6. Then there is no guarantee that it is nice. As I don't really like eating meat, I decided not to buy any Bak Zhang. The children don't really like it either. Then my mother never make any because father just died. According to her, a few years cannot wrap dumpling.
A good Samaritan gave delivery riders each a Pizza Bar as shown above on last Thursday. I was picking up delivery at Woods Square, and had parked my bicycle there. When I returned, above my delivery big box was placed a pizza bar as shown above. I looked at other riders that was parked around me. They had it too. Thank you whoever you are. I placed it inside my box.
Back home, I put it in the fridge and last night, I warm it up. Warming up was so simple. Just need to put in the microwave for 1 minute and the pizza bar was heated up. Isaac tried the pizza bar and he said it was nice.
You can see what is inside the pizza bar above. It is a good snack. Will consider buying it in future.
I went for my second dose of vaccination on 14 May 2021. My mother asked me to drink more water and also to drink Ginseng before the jab. The weather was fine on that day. I booked my appointment at 4pm.
I went to Woodlands Community Club on 14 May 2021. There was no queue at 4pm. As usual like first dose, when I entered the hall, I was given a bottle of mineral water. Then I showed them my NRIC and proceed to the next counter. At the registration counter, they checked my particulars and I answered a few questions and later on I proceed to the vaccination counter. This time, I looked at the needle, to see where it was injected. Upon injection, there was not much pain at all. Surprisingly!
So after the jab, I had to go next counter for observation. I sat there for 30minutes. At 30 minutes, my name was called. I went to the counter, they gave me the vaccination certificate and a packet of mask. After that I went home. Fast and easy.
That night, my left arm was a bit sore. I also had a fever of 38.4 degree the next day. After 2 days the soreness from the hand was gone and my fever was okay too. For my first dose, I only had hand soreness, no fever. But was tired.
During my childhood days, my mother always said, "ε¬θ―ε°±ε₯½" during mother's day if we gave her presents. The words mean be obedient. I also hoped that my children will be obedient too.
Last night, Clara came to my room and gave me a small pouch containing the bracelet. She had made another bracelet to give me some months ago. The bracelet was elastic ones, and I told her that I was scared that the elastic string will break like my previous ones which I had bought. So this time she made a non elastic ones. Thank you so much Clara for always being so thoughtful.
For dinner we ate Laksa. I bought Laksa from PGFN. We want to order from Tian Tian Chi Mian, but it was closed already. I bought two bowls of Laksa. I prefer Laksa from Tian Tian Chi Mian, but PGFN got more tao pok, which I like. When I finished my Laksa, Clara came to show me hers. Her Laksa was contaminated with a worm-like rusty wire. She was disgusted.
I sent in a feedback message to Grab. Later on they called me to verified the matter. They said they will look into it before they can proceed with refund. Later on, I received an email saying that I was refunded $4.60.
I think NEA should look into matters like this. This is not the only case in Singapore news. Some other people had experienced similar issues in other food at other stalls.
This is AAA pickled mustard with chilli. It cost $1.80 last time, but now it costs $2.00. Sometimes it is so hard to buy them. So whenever I see that it is available I would buy a few to put at home. It is very appetizing and it goes very well with porridge. My children do not like it, only I like it.
A simple meal like this can be my lunch or dinner. However I need to think of my children. So mostly I still cook some other dishes and seldom eat like this. For example, for today's lunch, the children ate chicken floss, fish floss, century egg and sardines. I cooked the sardines with onions and it smelled so nice.
Yesterday went to my mum house. When I was going home, she walked with me to the shops to buy food for me and I saw bean sprouts at the shop -- Blk 413 Malay shop selling vegetables. The shop had her bean sprouts displayed outside the shop. It was rather nice. So I decided to buy the bean sprouts for cooking Fried Kway Teow Mee for dinner later. My mother helped me to choose the bean sprouts then she paid for me. A lot of bean sprouts just for 40cents only.
Back home, I began plucking the bean sprouts. You can compare the bean sprouts with the soybean sprouts that I had purchased from Redmart. The soybean sprouts cost $1.53, and the seed leaves or cotyledons were very big and 'crunchy'. As I was plucking the bean sprouts, I could smell the 'normal beansprouts smell'. But when I was plucking the soybean sprouts, I did not smell anything.
There are altogether 5 pieces of prata inside the Spring Home Parantha. In the photograph above you can see the opened Parantha on the left of the packaging. Each piece of Parantha is sandwiched with 2 plastic sheets. You just have to remove the plastic sheets and place the prata onto the cooking pan (flat based), and wait for it to turn golden brown on one side and then flip over to the other side and wait for it to turn golden brown again.
Dora just like to sleep in boxes so much. Whenever there are any box lying around, she would go in to sleep. If the boxes were put at a place long enough, she will chew and tear the boxes too.
