Satay Chicken

I always want to make this but I do not have most important ingredient Lee Kum Kee Satay Sauce so I put this recipe aside until lately.

In the my hubby's recent trip back Singapore, I asked him to get the long waited sauce and of course I couldn't wait long to try this out. I followed the instructions from cooking.storyofbing.com. I omitted the roasted peanuts and used worcestershire sauce instead of maggi seasoning sauce. I also let the chicken simmer long than the mentioned time.

I am pretty happy with the taste of this dish. Very tasty and go very well with white rice. I will definitely make this again but I will put some chilli powder next time to give a spicy taste.

Beauty Regimen - Royal Jelly

I got this quite some time back but didn't take them diligently. When I came Bahamas, I took them along as I do not want waste them by leaving them in the fridge and expired as they are not cheap.

I wouldn't say they benefit skin or contribute to anti-aging although these benefits are briefly mentioned on their benefits description. The key benefits include boost immune system and promote stress-tolerance and increase energy levels. I have been taking for a couple of months but not everyday. It does boost my immune system and make me less tired. I seldom get sick (at least so far) and I don't need coffee to stay me awake. I would get them again if there is special promotion. I got them at buy one get one free. So each bottle cost me around SGD$30. Each bottle contains 60 gels and I am taking them one in the morning before food.

Beauty Regimen - Fancl HTC

With age catching up and fine lines showing on my face and hand (the latter could be due to frequent washing of milk bottles and dishes), I started to research on anti-aging face serum and also collagen supplement. 

Since last year, I wanted to try Meji Amino Collagen Powder but I hold back due to personal reason. Recently when my hubby went back Singapore, I asked him to get it from DFS but it is not available. It just happened that Didi (girlfriend of my hubby's colleague) has extra pack of Fancl HTC and I wanted to start my collagen supplement regimen, I got Fancl HTC from her. 

 

Many years back during my early twenties, I tried Fancl tense up for a couple of months. But as I didn't see any result and soon felt that I don't really need them and with the fact that they are pretty costly, I stopped taking. Now I going to give Fancl collagen supplement another chance and I will be taking this from tonight onwards. I hope I will see some good effect on my skin this time round.

Beauty Regimen - Laneige Water Sleeping Pack_Ex

My love to hydrating mask started since I first used Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Masque. I feel that my skin is less oily and well hydrated after each use. I get so obsessed that I could use it every day even the instruction stated use twice weekly. 

I get to know this mask from Didi (girlfriend of my hubby's colleague). I was totally sold when I heard this hydrating mask could leave overnight without washing away. I then did research online and get more excited after seeing fantasic feedback on this mask. I couldn't wait to try them but sad that I couldn't get them in Bahamas.

When my hubby went back recently, this became my top buying item. I was delighted when he told me DFS is selling duo pack at SGD$ 61.50. I felt that it is a great buy since it is selling at SGD$ 42-45 per bottle when without promotion. Of course, it is still cheapest to get from Korea.

 I hope it work better than Dermalogica skin hydrating masque as this is cheaper to get in Singapore.

Love is in the air...

The hubby is on his way back to Bahamas from Singapore. Only away trips like this will make us realize we miss each other very much and can't do without each other. Faith misses her daddy too. Luckily, she is not as fussy as previous time. Perhaps this is because she is older now and she is not sick (she was during her daddy's previous trip). We are not sure whether this will be the last time we will be away from each other but I know we should treasure every moment together and not taking things for granted.

Hope to see him very soon and I am preparing a feast for him now.

Faith and her local playmate

Summer holiday has just started. Our housekeeper, Pauline, brought her younger son, Rolando, to our house and play since there is no school. Faith loves to play with him. (She always like to play with kids that are older than her.) She will share her toys, school stuffs and snacks with him. Rolando will take care of her and always give in to her. They seldom fight since Rolando always give in. And Faith loves to talk to him where he likes to talk to me. Haha..

Today I have prepared mouse puppet arts & craft for them to work on. Faith was too excited with the painting and finished before Rolando was here. When Rolando was here, he wasn't too keen about working on the puppet. Perhaps he is too big for this. (He is 5 years plus.) So I passed him my iphone to play since Faith was playing with his PSP.

They then played at the pool and Rolando got himself totally wet. After water play, they had waffle ice cream together before Rolando went back home.

Although Faith was pretty grouchy today, she definitely had a lot of fun with this playmate.

Fun at Jaws Beach, Nassau, Bahamas

This weekend, Daddy E went back Singapore and will only be back next Saturday. So we went out with one of his collegues (AK) to get our weekly groceries. AKwanted to go Goodfellow Farms for lunch first and then have a short chill at nearby Jaws Beach since DD has not been there before.
This is not my first time to Jaws Beach but is my first time get wet in this beach. We are lucky to get a gloomy weather (so it is not too hot) and saw many small fishes swimming around us. Water is pretty shallow and stretched quite a distance so it is good for kiddos to enjoy the water play. Faith definitely has a great time and didn't want to go back.

Faith was trying to splash water at me.

Faith was playing waterfall with DD.
