An Unusual National Day Celebration 09/08/2008 & 10/08/2008

Met Auntie Irene at the market at 10.40 am to shop for the ingredients. Had breakfast back at her house and prepare the skin for the Moon Cake (Need to wait 2 hours for it to relax). Next we whipped up the ingredients and fried the Fried Pumpkin Fritters. Weigh the Bean/Lotus paste and rolled up into balls and Nicole, using the mould to make into the shape of mooncake. Watched NDP 08 and enjoying the Hokkien Styled Fried Canned Pork Trotter Bee Hoon by Auntie Irene. Yummy yummy. :)

HAPPY 43 th BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!!!!

This morning, when arrived at Auntie Irene's house, Nicole already steamed Pumpkin for making of the "Cream of Pumpkin". Hmmmmmm..... very yummy. Get the ingredients for the "Baked Seafood Rice with Cheese" ready... Fish, prawns, squids and cheese.... Started to cook at around 4pm. So far this was the best baked rice ever tried. All the 4 of us (Nicole, Margaret, Auntie Irene and me) finished all the rice within 10 minutes, whereas the preparation and cooking took about 2 hours. We had the "Cream of Pumpkin" as our dessert.

Today, we had a quite relax day as we didn't prepare too many dishes.
