The rush for CNY begins~

Visited Bugis on Sat to buy watch with Chun's mum..
Eventually bought a Citizen one that i choose for her...

Sunday was suppose to start my baking but shopping for
Jack's clothes and impromptu visit to the florist took up the whole day!
Bought some food for CNY & also bought the ying liu & some potted flowers.
My house is full of the festive season this year too..

Made a full batch of Bahulu last night til 12.30am!!!!!
As i only have 1 mould with me that can bake 12nos per 10mins.
Actually wanted to get a another one but then
drop the idea cos i think wont be making too much of bahulu..
I use the first recipe that i tried.
I realise that after keeping the bahulu for a week,
the interior texture change...
so the ultimate bahulu is actually not too bad.
I must monitor the current batch to
see if the texture changes.
This time round i put in slightly more sugar,
which result in a crispier crust, that unfortunatly stick a bit,
but the interior was very fluffy & empty

Am suppose to start the pineapple tart tonight.
And another batch of bangkit planned for next week
cos i'm afraid that bangkit cant keep that long due to coconut.
didnt manage to take any photo..
Will upload as soon as i have some on hand.

Today i brought my new Tiger thermos lunch set.
Which i have compared & search for online for the last week.
I have went down to Tangs with the intention of getting
the Thermos brand lunch tote.
But then have decided against it as i cant get the one i saw online.
Was tempted to get the Zoirushi brand,
for their pretty carrier but then it doesnt have a air tight
container for soupy stuff.

So in the end, after roaming Isetan & Tangs TWICE!!!!
Crazy i know.. i ended up with Tiger one,
cos thery're made in Japan,
which i presume better quality over Thermos made in China!!!
and then another dilema comes,
should i get the 1.3 or 1.5 one??
considering the price different ony $4 bucks.
Sweetie have told me to get the larger one.
But im afraid that it'll be too big...
and it looks kinda "tall"...
and frankly not as pretty as the small one.
Ultimately, made my decision on the big one after another 20min of struggle... lol..

Auntie have heated up the leftover curry form last night,
and stir fry oyster mushroom w carrots & fresh baby corn...
Absolutly yummilicious!!!!
I espcially loved the mushroom with the crunchy fresh baby corn!!!
one satisfied meal..

Darling commented that i need to bring my own lunch for the whole year,
for me to break even the cost of the Tiger Thermos... MAN~~~
