Creative Combination

This is how Alycia ate her rice bubbles - with Yakult. The gals had rice bubbles for breakfast yesterday. While Sherilyn likes her rice bubbles with fresh Marigold HL milk, Alycia who doesn't fancy fresh milk asked for Yakult instead. This creative combination tasted good and is healthier too.

Steamed Eggs

Steamed eggs with organic soya sauce.

I got really fed-up having to wait for Sherilyn for almost 2 hours everyday 3 times a day for breakfast, lunch and dinner to chew her food and finish her meals. Each morning, I will give her a hard-boiled egg for breakfast, which is her favorite, but she would take forever to chew her food and swallow them. So yesterday I made the gals 'chawan mushi' or Japanese steamed egg in cup. Whilst Sherilyn loved it, since she does not have to chew them, Alycia would not even touch them! Funny coz Alycia has always loved the Japanese Chawan Mushi. Maybe I should buy those Japanese Chawan Mushi cups next time and steam the eggs inside those cups and add a few strands of crab sticks inside the egg. Must go buy them today when we shop for our groceries at Village Grocer.

Quail Eggs

When we went grocery shopping a couple of days ago, Alycia saw some quail eggs and asked me to buy them. Today, we all had quail eggs for breakfast. It's a good thing Sherilyn who doesn't eat meat loves eggs, including quail eggs. So she gets all her protein and nutrition from her hard boiled egg every morning. As for Alycia, she only eats the egg white and hates the yolk (when eaten hard boiled), so the yolk normally goes to Sherilyn and mummy! The only way Alycia would eat the yolk is when the egg is beaten up and fried. That's the only way I can make her eat one of the most nutritious food around as the yolk contains the most vitamins, DHA and minerals.

Breakfast With Mah Mah

Being a health freak, I hardly ever serve my gals kuih or hawkers' food for breakfast. Their breakfast normally consist of fruits or orange juice, an egg or Edamame beans or steamed sweet potatoes or steamed sweet corns, cereal, biscuits or plain chiffon cake. But since their mah mah is here, the gals had kuih and packed porridge for breakfast yesterday. Today they had fishball noodles. It's ok to relax the rigid rules sometimes and let them enjoy some nice food with their beloved mah mah.

Sweet Chestnuts

DH bought these peeled roasted chestnuts imported from China in packet form from Purple Cane Tea House last week. Alycia and Sherilyn loved them to bits, especially Alycia who insisted to eat them directly from the packet. Yesterday morning, when I poured out some chestnuts into the bowl for Alycia for breakfast, she waaaaaailed and insisted that she wants to eat them from the packet and she finished the whole packet all by herself and then asked for another packet. I am quite sceptical of food and products imported from China as I've read of them being tainted with pesticides, poision and what not. Anything that looks dodgy to me, I won't want to put too much into my body. So when the gals were asleep, I hid the packet of chestnut, haha....

Peter Rabbit Organic Cornflakes

Today, Alycia and Sherilyn had Peter Rabbit Organic cornflakes for breakfast, thanks to koo mah #1 who bought this from Hong Kong. These cornflakes are sugar-free, salt-free and additives-free. Though they tasted rather bland, but they were crunchy and the gals and I loved them. Even their kakak got to taste some of the cornflakes. I shall buy a box of fresh Marigold HL milk this evening so that the gals can have the cornflakes with fresh milk for breakfast tomorrow.

Green Soya Beans For Breakfast

Today, Alycia and Sherilyn had Edamame beans or green soya beans for breakfast. Instead of having hard-boiled eggs again, I served them their all-time favourite food for breakfast. If you are lost for good breakfast ideas for your lil' ones, try Edamame beans and they are quick and easy to prepare. Just pop them into the microwave for 1 minute 15 seconds and your lil' ones will have a nutritious breakfast as these green beans are packed with protein, calcium, Vitamin A & C, flavonoids, fibre and low in carbo (good for dieting mummy too).




Waaaaaaah..... Sherilyn was so possessive of her green beans that when I popped just 1 bean into my mouth, she waaaaailed and wailed non-stop for half and hour.... till she puked out her breakfast.... eeeeeww. Lesson learnt... don't meddle with your lil' one's favourite food.
