Xiao Fei Yang Steamboat

This is the delicious pot of  steamboat which we had at Xiao Fei Yang, a restaurant specializing in Taiwanese steamboat. We celebrated Baby C’s first birthday at this restaurant. 

The soup was simply delectable but I was told not to gulp down too much of the soup as it could be very heaty. Why heaty?  That’s because it has lots of herbs in it, coupled with the broth from the beef and lamb meat that were cooked inside the pot of soup. 

Check out my other blog to get details of the restaurant and to view more pix.

Investment

I was informed by my mum that the government’s stimulus package Savings Bond (Sukuk Simpanan Rakyat) will be up for grabs in just a few days. The minimum investment is RM1k and maximum is RM5k. The bond will have a maturity of three years with an annual return of 5% which will be paid quarterly to bond holders. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will be lucky enough to purchase the savings bond. The annual return of 5% is double that of the current fixed deposit savings’ interest. I can anticipate that all the banks will be flooded with people hoping to get a slice of the cake. I wish I had the time to queue up to lay my hands on a slice of the cake too. If I can’t get hold of the bond this time, I may consider investing my money in something more profitable like gold. It’s such a heartache seeing my money sitting in the bank earning peanuts now.

My Super Vain-Pot Loves Wearing Sexy Dresses

This happened about 2 Saturdays ago.  On that morning, daddy wanted to bring Alycia to the paed’s clinic in a hospital and Sherilyn demanded to tag along too.  She would never ever want to be left out whenever daddy brings her cheh cheh to anywhere, even to the hospital or the clinic.  While Alycia changed into a t-shirt and denim skirt, my super vain-pot rushed to her wardrobe and sifted through all her dresses and fished this sexy dress out:

It’s a halter-neck beach dress with a bare-back and sea-shells hanging on the front of the dress. Gosh, don’t you think she looked a tad kwah cheong for wearing this dress to the hospital? Oh btw, did I mention she wanted to wear her Princess Aurora costume from HK Disneyland to the Taiwanese steamboat restaurant on Baby C’s birthday?  Of course I said no to her request.

There is also a draw-string at the back of the dress.  No one taught this princess wannabe how to pose and I must say she’s got flair for posing hor? Hehe…

Can’t blame her on her preference for dresses, especially sleeveless and sexy ones coz her mummy is just like that, hah!

Coffee With A Cause

One of the must-have drinks for me every morning is my cup of decaffeinated coffee. After a glass of plain water, followed by a cup of diluted apple cider vinegar drink with psyllium husk and a half-hour rest, I will enjoy my cup of decaf coffee with skim milk. Then off I go for my morning work-out either in the gym or a jog round the neighborhood. Before Baby C came along, I used to drink regular coffee. The aromatic smell of coffee at any time of the day can really life up my mood. In fact everyone in our family is a coffee lover, especially my mil who only drinks gourmet coffee. She even buys premium coffee beans and grinds her own coffee powder in a special coffee grinder! I think she will really appreciate it if I got her a pack of MAYA EARTH COFFEE imported from Guatemala.

Maya Earth Coffee is grown by Mayan farmers who practice traditional farming techniques that have been passed down through generations. These farmers actively practice composting, terracing, natural pest control and soil and water conservation. Maya Earth Coffee is certified by the USDA Organic and is definitely a healthier choice for coffee lovers. If you are a coffee lover and would like to drink coffee with a cause, do get a bag of Maya Earth Coffee. For every bag of coffee ordered from Maya Earth Coffee, 10% will be donated back to the farmers in Guatemala and not-for-profit organizations in the USA.
