17 May 2013 - Navy Open House

Navy Open House! First thought... super hot. Then second thought... super crowded.

And true enough, the weather was sibei ho ah (very good).. no clouds!

This post will have quite a number of photos .. so more pics, less words! Yay!

OOTD. The pants are ultra light weight if you're thinking why I'm wearing long pants. And the top is unique with its cut outs! Got mickey head plus mustache too!

Here's mummy in toddler's hat. 

MSTF Family Day with lots of black gigantic balloons. They look like floating grapes lah!

Goodie bag leh! Got branded biscuits and mineral bottled water. We even brought home an umbrella with the same emblem!

Fierce looking ones..

Toddler and me.

There was a live performance with guns and explosions. Quite thrilling but I didn't enjoy the loud booms. My toddler was scared as well as she kept patting her chest and said 怕怕 (scared).  

Steady leh. :D

Initially I thought this would be super heavy as I saw their arm muscles popped when they carried and passed it to us visitors. And I'm very surprised that I could hold it! But.. not for so long lah. 

Display of the fleet. 

The rolled up rope on the ship. Jialat, people step until black black.

The weather is too good. Thumbs up.

Helicopter! First time at the open house!

This darling drone here is very very very expensive.

Looks like those stuff can shoot anytime...

Here's our little captain.

We were actually late for this photo booth and was denied entering the queue. Luckily a personnel saw our disappointment (or rather mine... ) and kindly helped us to loan a set of uniform for our toddler! He's so kind and flexible in doing things! Thank you so much! If not for you we wouldn't have been able to have this photo as precious memory. 

This sort of sums up the event. It was fun and tiring and scorching. 

What I didn't like about this event was ... the teddy bear was sold out. =( Why oh why? And I heard that it wasn't sold during the days for the public-viewing. Don't tell me first preview day all kena sold ah? Whoever is in charge of this merchandising is so screwed. 

And lots of thanks to my hubby who brought us around and carried all the barang barang, goodie bags and umbrella. LOL!

Japanese Sweet Potato Soup

Very refreshingly sweet ah!

Japanese Sweet Potato Soup (serves 5-6)
7 pieces of Japanese sweet potato
2 tbsp rock sugar (I used yellow rock sugar)

Boil sweet potato over low fire for about 2 hours. Use a fork to poke the potato to check for its softness. Add in rock sugar and stir slowly. Taste to see if you need to add more rock sugar. And we're done!

And after some days... my nail became like this:

All thanks to my toddler who accidentally stepped on me and pulled the whole nail up. T_T"

This is really a nightmare to me.

Fried Chicken Bits

Drooling yet?

My girl friend said YES when I suggested putting recipe posts of what I cook for my family. She's so enthusiastic. Jo, right, Jo?

And so this shall be my first recipe post. Actually, it's not a detailed recipe ... as I leave it up to you as to how much chicken you want, or how much seasoning you need. I'll just give a rough guide.

And so, here I used chicken fillet as I find that they are softer.

Fried Chicken Bits
300gm chicken fillet
1-2 tbsp shao xing wine
3 tsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp dark soy sauce (the liquid type, not the thick sauce type)
corn flour for coating

Marinate the chicken for at least 30min. Right before pan-frying, you coat the marinated chicken in corn flour. Ta da! Pan fry them till they turn crispy and dark brown. It takes at least 15min over low fire.

And I reiterate, you may add more or less of any of the seasoning as mentioned. I think I added more shao xing wine and dark soy sauce. So, go ahead and experiment!

Enjoy yourselves!
