Turkey Bacon n Ham Egg Pie

I'm not a breakfast kinda person. But when I'm in a mood for one, I'll make sure it something interesting for my son to eat. So here's recipe to share with all of you readers. 

Ingredients:

- Instant Prata (I'm using Kawan brand for years now. SEDAP!)

- Chicken Ham (slice to rectangular/ up to your preference)

- Turkey Bacon (I fry it w/o oil to have extra crisp)

- 4 tablespoon of veg/ canola oil (can opt for cooking oil spray too)

- 6 eggs

- 3 tablespoon of milk

- dash of white pepper

- dash of salt

- handful of mozzarella cheese

Steps: 

Heat the oven to 180 degree. Spray your muffin tin with your cooking oil spray or u can just brush it with your veg/ canola oil. Cut the instant prata to half (as shown in picture), place it in the muffin tin.

Beat the eggs with milk, white pepper and salt. Once beaten, pour it in and followed by the fried turkey bacon. Last, place as much mozzarella cheese as you wish and bake it for 20 to 30 min. I baked mine for 35min for that extra crisp. 

Hope you guys enjoy this simple brunch of mine and hey, if you're spicy lover like me, add in those bird eye chili or eat it with your favourite chili sauce. Enjoy and happy baking!

Ovalmaltine Braided Sunstar Bread

Ingredients:

450g All Purpose Flour

70g cups of Sugar

2 teaspoons of Dried Yeast

A pinch of Salt

30g Unsalted Butter (melted)

180ml cup of warm Milk

2 Egg Yolks (keep the white to glaze the bread)

1 cup of Ovalmaltine (depends on individual)

To make the dough:

Mix all the dry ingredients (APF, sugar, salt and dried yeast) minutes. Add in 2 egg yolks (mix for 2 min) followed by the melted butter and milk. Mix everything for 10 mins. 5 mins alternate stop to adjust the dough and mix again till it soft. 

After mixing everything, cover the mixing bowl with shrink wrap/ damp cloth and place it in a warm place. As for me, I just leave it in the kitchen and let it rest for 1 and half hour or till the dough rise.

Filling and Folding:

It's really my bad for not taking any picture of it. But all I did was roll the dough to loaf size long, cut it into 4, roll each of the dough to a thin round size and fill it with ovalmaltine. Repeat the steps again until the 3rd dough and the last dough will be the 'closing ceremony'. I've found a video that did the exact same steps as I did. Maybe you get the picture when you watch it. 

p/s: Don't forget to bake it at 180'C  for 15 - 20 minutes and let it rest for half an hour before serving.

Good luck Love ;)

Yoshinoya Beef Bowl with Vegetables

 Hi everyone!!

My mission to cook yoshinoya beef bowl has finally accomplished!

So here, let me share with you the simple yet HALAL recipe you can do at your own home. (n_n*)

Ingredients For Beef Bowl With Veg: 
 - 1 tray packet Beef Shabu Shabu 
- 1 or 2 White Onion (Japanese onion/ bawang jepun)
- 5 tablespoon Kikkoman Soya Sauce Yamasa or Marushima (Syoudoshima Shoyu) Soy Sauce
- 2 teaspoon Hao Chi Seasoning
- 1/2 cube Beef Stock Cube (Knorr brand)
- Broccoli
- Carrot
- Cauliflower
-Cabbage
- Sesame Seeds (optional)


Cooking the Beef Bowl:

 

Place 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil or any other oil. Sliced the onion and stir fry it. Once the onion changes it color to translucent or a little yellow, add in the shabu shabu. Stir it evenly and add in at least 4 or more tablespoon of soya sauce. Depends on your taste bud (I like mine to be mid dark). Add together 2 teaspoon of Hao Chi and 1/2 cube of beef stock. Finally, stir it till the beef finely cook/ broth and you're done! Serve it hot with white rice and garnish with the sesame seeds. 

Blanching the Vegetables:
 
Wash, clean and cut the vegetables to your preferable size. Once cut, boil in carrot first, followed by broccoli, cauliflower and last the cabbage. After boiling, place them in a bowl of cold ice water. This is blanching method that I always do.


p/s: Instead of using Kikoman, you can use Yamasa or Marushima (Syoudoshima Shoyu) soy sauce. Come to realized that Kikoman soy sauce do add alcohol during fermentation process. =(

Because you asked me

Assalamualaikum and Hello everyone.

So I finally have spare time to blog today. And it's about what's my son's been drinking, feeding, snacking and blablabla.. Hehehehe..

Milk Formula: Abbott Similac Stage 2

I've stop breastfeeding completely when my son's turns 3 months old. It's not by choice but I was forced to stop due to my sickness (at the moment). Furethermore, I didn't have much milk in me, no matter how much I pump or massage.. By the time I want to take supplements (to have more milk), I have to stop.. It's really depressing for a new mum like me not to be able to give my son breastmilk fully.. I really feel like i'm a bad mum.. I cry and yes cry out loud when the doctor told me that I have to fully stop giving breastmilk.. Only my hubby and family knows how depressing I am at the point.. 

Eventho I did give my son formula milk at few weeks old, still, I did breastmilk him too.. Percentage of milk given are my breastmilk.. So when the doctor say NO MORE breastmilk, oh how my heart drop! :( But oh well, look at the bright side, alhamdulilah, with this PERFECT formula milk given to my precious son, he grown up to a VERY smart and healthy baby.. :D

Cereals: Nestle Cerelac Wheat and Honey

To tell you the truth, I started giving my son cerelac as early as 2 weeks old.. I add 1 teaspoon of cerelac to my breastmilk (warm it up).. When people found out that I'm giving my son cerelac at a very young age, they are totally surprised and of course I got "scolded" for it.. But hey, I just dowan my son to get hungry.. And up till now, he is still taking the same flavor.. I did try giving him other flavor, but he don't seems to like it.. It's either he don't like it or he don't pooped! :P

Baby Food/ Puree: Rafferty's Garden (any flavor except for Berry's)

Usually I cook for my son's his baby food/ puree.. But as a working mum, I really don't have time to do all that most of the time.. I did try giving him the Heinz or any other brand, but he don't seems to really enjoy it.. Thanks to my sis for recommending this baby food.. My son LOVE it really much.. He eats all kinda flavor except for the berry's (but he loves eating strawberry, weird?).. Since my son already turning 8 months plus, I'm thinking of  trying to get him the mash range or the smoothie.. Best of all, it's HALAL and NO other ingredients added in!!! As stated on the company logo, they are 100% HONEST.. Heheh.. Oh, I usually got this from NTUC Fairprice.. I did try searching at Cold Storage or Giant, but they don't seems to bring in this brand.. 

Teething Snacks: Baby Bites (wan wan brand)

I guess all of you know this brand.. This baby bites been bring in by a company called Wan Wan.. You know this snacks that all asian kids love to eat.. 

Baby Juice: Heinz Apple/ Pear Juice and Dried Winter Melon 

Particularly, he loves apple/ pear.. So me and my husband have always got him this juice from Heinz and also dried winter melon from any chinese traditional store or of course the supermarket.. Giving the dried winter melon to drink is really good for baby who have jaundice and high fever.. :)

So mummy and daddy, good luck in trying all the snacks/ food that I've listed here and hope that your baby are loving it too..  :D
