中秋節 Mid-Autumn Festival

The Mid-Autumn Festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar. This year 2010, the moon festival falls on 22nd of September 2010.

For the children, they love carrying brightly lit lantern to celebrate moon-cake festival.

This year, we have a box of Raffles Hotel's Snow Skin Mooncake with Champagne Truffle & Ganache. A box of mooncake we all enjoyed, really mouth watering, and delicious... yummy :)

Portable potty seat for the child

We have bought a simple portable potty seat from the market, this pink potty seat can be easily fit onto the family toilet bowl, the extra seat give the child comfortabily and at same time protect the child from falling while using the toilet. The IKEA children's stool is for the child to step up, the stool has the anti-slip cover on top, reduces the risk of slippage, the anti-slip protector on underside also makes the stool stand steady.

After used, my child will take off the toilet seat by herself and have it hang on the side of the wall, and the stool place at the side, within easy reach for the child at the next use.

Don't like vegetables, what to do?

Somehow my child dislike vegetables, she simply hate the sight of them. If the rice, porridge or even soup got vegetable in it, she will scream and say there is dirt inside. I will have to pick out the vegetables in it, and she will then eat the food. It can be quite a headache sometimes, imagine the rice was being fried with chopped spring onion, then we have to separate the spring onion out from the fried rice, can be a tedious 'exercise'.


One thing quite surprising is that she loves dried seaweed, even though it is vegetable. I hope that as she grows older, she will appreciates the vegetables better.

KinderJoy with Surprise!

KinderJoy is currently the favorite snack for my girl. Advertisement on KinderJoy was widely shown in between cartoon channels. It has become a very hot popular `luxury' snack for the children, two chocolate balls in a creamy spread, costing S$1.60!

KinderJoy is shaped as a egg-shell, half contained the tasty milky chocolate, the other half egg-shell is sealed with a toy which need assembling.

What made it so popular is the surprise that comes with it, each individual `chocolate egg' contained a toy inside, it play with the kid's curiousity, wanting to buy and peel off the cover to see what the toy inside.

I see my girl carefully scooped up the chocolate with the given tiny spoon, worry that the egg will `fly' out to the ground. Happily munching the chocolate and eyeing curiously at the other half of the egg wondering what the toy inside.

"KinderJoy with surprise" will continue to be a popular snack, at least for my kid... :)
