Making food

It's still the year-end school holidays.  Since we couldn't go anywhere this round, we stayed home and made food for fun.

Baked churros... fried tastes better, but baked is healthier.  Kiddos went wild with the mini choc chips deco.
We made this!

'Tong yuen' or glutinous rice balls.  Blue from butterfly pea flowers, green from pandan, pink from strawberry extract, white being the original colour.  I loved the pretty pastel colours.

Line up, all you colours

SE has been pestering to make these for ages.  This girl can be extremely... pester-y.  These days, ball shapes aren't popular any more haha.  Move over balls, here come frogs, pigs, snowmen. bear...

Hard at work


Check out my little bear

Made cut-out cookies too.  Ms Clumsy somehow tipped a whole tray onto the floor.

Well limited things to do at home right.  Now that MCO 2.0 has started, we're stuck in our apartment for 2 weeks.  Can't be making food for now - no oven, no baking equipment, not much space.

  1. SE is very skillful in making those cute shapes with the tong yuen dough. Oh, you all decided to spend MCO 2.0 at your apartment because it is within 10 km radius of your parents' place I guess. You will still be working at the office, right? Because I see many companies also let their staff work in the office.

    1. Yeah better for the kids at my parents. They get a structured timetable for study, play, nap, food.

  2. Why stuck at apartment? Your house is at another district which is impossible to go back during weekend?

    1. Well yes our house IS in a different district, but the problem is more the 2pax per car rule. The moment kena a roadblock with 4 pax in the car.... gone case.

  3. Making food is a good past time, better than being on the ipad or hand phone most of the time. SE is good with her hands making those cute animals tong yuen. Is it because you are not allowed to cross district to return to your house?

    1. Yeah always need to find ways to get them off the screen or simply waiting to get on. Some on the plate are JE's.

      House and apartment are over 20km apart. We could wriggle our way out I suppose... if roadblock is nearer home then show IC address, if nearer apartment then show a TNB bill. But the 2pax/car rule means I'd need 2 trips to ferry the 2 kids home!
