Pancake Breakfast

The other day my colleague Ela told me "oh Belinda, if you are posting another photo of food on Facebook, I'm gonna have to hit you..!" hahaha She says every time she sees my photos, there is always food in it. And she will go "this crazy Singaporean girl and her food..." + rolls eyes.

Oh well, she is right I guess. You can't take food away from a Singaporean. It's just innate in us you know.

So my aunt emailed me this fluffy pancake recipe 2 days ago, and since M is at home studying this weekend, I volunteered to make some for us for breakfast. (To encourage her, and to satisfy my stomach hehe)


This is my first time making pancakes and wow I am amazed at how easy the recipe is, and they really turned out thick and fluffy! And M made us some latte to go along with it. It was a sunny Saturday morning too, so we were enjoying our pancakes and coffee with the morning sunshine. Bliss!!

Recipe
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 cup milk (room temperature)
3 egg yolk
3 egg whites
In a medium bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Stir in milk and egg yolk until smooth.
In a large glass/metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Fold 1/3 of the whites into the batter, then quickly fold in remaining whites until no streaks remain.
Heat a lightly oiled non-stick frying pan over medium high heat.
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake.
Once you see bubbles, it's time to flip the pancake over.
Cook until golden brown on both sides.
Serve hot with butter/ maple syrup/ nutella/ jam/ peanut butter/ fruits… possibilities are endless! (Brits also love to have it with lemon juice and sugar.)
Enjoy!

Murder Mystery Dinner Party

Two Saturdays ago we were invited to the Kim's for a themed dinner, specifically a Murder Mystery dinner party.  What is that, you might ask.  It was our first time attending such a dinner too, and so how it works is: a group of people attend a dinner party.  Each is assigned a role and will be given a script to read that night.  The aim of the party is to identify a murderer in the midst of us by the end of the night.  The hosts would work off a dinner game set (they got it off Amazon) and it comes with proper invites, setting/ scene, table name cards, scripts and even a suggested menu.  Clearly RX is an Agatha Christie fan. Two weeks beforehand, we received our invites in the postbox, telling us what roles we each have been assigned and the suggested attire (and props if necessary).  Interesting yes? The dinner was to start at 7pm and we were to have 8 people that night.  It's all very mysterious… Our invitation cards assigned K the...

Cooking mee pok dry | bak chor and fishball noodles

When I touched down at Changi airport a few weeks ago, I was very hungry and K suggested grabbing a quick bite at the food court.  I immediately went for the queue at the bak chor (minced pork) noodles stall.  This one dish is very local and we simply can't find it here.  London's Chinatown has a few Malaysian restaurants with fried kway teow, chicken rice, laksa, etc but there is no authentic fishball noodles or minced pork noodles. When my friend Corinne shared this link last week, I was intrigued and I didn't know K was too.  He suggested going to the Asian supermarket on Sunday to get the necessary ingredients.  We found Dodo fishballs from Singapore here - what a win!  Unfortunately the mee pok (yellow, flat noodles) is of a darker shade here and tastes slightly different (maybe a different type of wheat?).  We found fishcakes too. http://delishar.com/2015/12/fishball-noodles-mee-pok-tah.html This is a healthier version of the hawker center'...

Memories made at Danson Park

I can't believe I still have readers to this dormant blog!  Thank you for coming back again :) In case you didn't know, our little family of four actually flew back to the UK together for the first time last November.  For me, I've been back twice with Izzy, and poor Gabriel kept asking when could he go back to London.  Finally K said we should take the trip together and also drive around northern France, our fav area to visit.  Well fav, in that it is very easy to get to from the UK and we have really grown to like the more rural parts of Brittany. I grabbed the chance to contact Joanne, who took some photos of the kids previously.  In fact I think she has seen my kids grow up, from taking Christmas photos to family photos. We were pressed for time and I had to do some convincing for K to agree to do this shoot... looking at the photos, glad i insisted on doing it.  More to document kids growing up well.. and us growing old  I plan to blog more about ...
