My Lunch today

Today I am having my favourite fried bee hoon.

I made 4 servings- two for our(me and DH) breakfast and lunch
Estimated time: 10mins (provided all ingredients are pre-cut)

I was supposed to cook this for lunch yesterday, however, I
overslept..so it became today's meal.

And, just to share some hmm..very adult-like conversation I had with
KY this morning.

When both the kids woke up at 7.15am, I was hanging the laundry and
after that gonna fried the bee hoon (vermicelli). Therefore I
requested KY to assist me to entertain her brother.

Mommy: KY can you please help to take care of your brother while mommy
hang the clothes and then later fried bee hoon for you?

KY: I help you to cook bee hoon, mom. Ask daddy to take care of Shone.

Mommy: But daddy is sleeping.

KY: I wake him up.

Mommy: Don't want lar..daddy is tired. Daddy work very late last
night. You help mommy lar ok...please..

KY: Grinning...I wake daddy up lar..and off she went asking her dad to wake up.

Hmm..guess KY just prefered helping me with the cooking(see her
cooking adventure with me here) rather than playing with Shone who
likes to snatch things from his sister now...haha..

Cheers folks!

Fried Rice in 6mins?

This morning, my son woke up at 5am and refused to sleep until almost 7am. And when he finally sleep, I was thinking better get some sleep myself before waking up to prepare breakfast and lunch for myself and DH.

Ever since I had my tooth extraction on Tue, I counted my DH has been eating noodles for more than 4 meals (minus the supper…not sure how much noodles he made during one of his usual supper)…felt really bad….

So last night I have pre-cooked a pot of rice for either lunch for today or dinner tonight depends whether I managed to get up on time to prepare the lunch in the morning rush hour…..paiseh.. :P

So when my son finally woke up up at 7.30am..phew..i quickly carry him to his playpen…then cut some pear and put it into his feeder net (Munchkin - Fresh Food feeder) then off I went to chop some vege ham and mushroom. After these few acts..time shows 7.42am, eiks Do I still in time to prepare the fried rice? Argghh…don’t waste time pondering…let’s get into action…off I went to fried the rice I have pre-cooked while my DH helped to prepare our breakfast, bread with kaya spread while entertaining our screaming son who has finished his yummy pear.

Voila, guess how much time I have used to cook the fried rice? 6 minutes…wow..what  a record(for me that is..haha)! So I guess I can imagine if rice and side ingredients are prepare in advance we can always cook up a meal- fried rice in less than 10mins …not too bad right? I bet the hawker stall owner/chef in the restaurant can do much better job than me..but well to me is not too bad since my record time for a meal (dinner or lunch) is within 30mins (noodle soup would be within 20mins). So most of the time, what’s for dinner dear? The answer would generally depends on how much time we have versus how hungry is OUR stomach after coming back from work and fetching children which average about 7pm+.

So to my DH, sorry for those noodle meals…hope that my tooth and gum recover soon(still swelling now)…and I be up and running mom cum wife as usual again. When? How about tonight "toothy and gummy" plz.....ok?

Cheers!
