Butterfly Prawns

It's been ages since i made these!!

Gina ! Xiu ! Rong ! If you are reading this post.. do you gals remember these 'little jewels'?? hehehehhe

I happened to have some breadcrumbs in the fridge that's meant for my camembert cheese and some miserable prawns from Giant. So i decided to make these for the kids to try out. Jem loves tempura prawns since young so he took a liking for these immediately. Jayden seems to like the crumbs and prawns individually on their own the way he had to pull them apart before biting them separately. Mark's verdict? Nice.. if only the prawns are bigger and juicier... argh!!

Flip Flop Flip Flop

Bought these at Metro Warehouse Sales for 7buck... little Jayden's still trying to get used to it. It's so cute to see him trying to shuffle through without having it slip off.

4th May ~ Sunday

Hahahah... I'm definitely behind in my posting but I'll try my best to catch up. We finally get our cdan's cards ready and here we are, trying out the swimming pool. It's definitely less taxing than bringing them to the one at Boon Lay which has the children's facilities. I'm more at ease to leave them with daddy while doing my laps as well... it is a wonderful place. We checked out the shower rooms and found heaters in the shower!! Cool!





This gonna be our hangout place on Sundays after church... with its swimming pools and bowling alleys not to mention comfortable lounge areas. It suits our low budget outings just fine..

Here's our boys after their swim.. engaging in a moment of sizzling passion??

3 May ~ Saturday

We had to wake up early to try out the new Mac's breakfast but it was quite a disappointment. Oh well, we had to do our grocery shopping before rushing for a party anyway.

After the party, we went down to Playground @ Big Splash to sign up for my blading classes. Oh my, long waiting list... gotta wait til mid/end May. I'm so anxious to start whizzing!!! Anyway, we gotten kites from the party earlier on so went to the beach to fly. So happy to finally get it up in the sky and happier when Jerome fly it on his own. It was hilarious the way he kept repeating,"cannot fly near the trees.."

Walk back to have dinner before rushing down to MPH Bookfair (we r always in a rush aren't we?) There was a Tamiya race going on. Yah... my boys were totally mersmerised by the remote cars whizzing by.

Thank goodness we managed to reach the fair only an hour before closing... within that hour we picked up 10 books... can't imagine if I have more time to go through the budget books. But i'm really really happy to find 2 books of Paulo!!!

Vol-au-vent

Check this out!!! It's been ages since i made these...

It didn't turn out well this time round. The weather's real warm thus melting the pastry margarine faster than desired. Not to mention I had to leave the dough halfway thru to run down to pick dear Jem from the school bus.

It's still flaky, nicely layered but on the dry side and unevenly risen.

It was filled with tuna stired fried with shallots and seasoned with black pepper, tomato and chilli sauce... yum!
