Dear hubby had to work overtime yesterday so my family celebrates Belated Mothers' Day today. We had steamboat for dinner which the children enjoyed. I pressure-cooked soya bean for the soup base, throw in fish ball, crabmeat ball, fuzhou fishball, dumpling... I have learnt not to over-prepare & yummy, we finished up everything today.
I home-made Roast Pork with KWF 'Pure Enjoyment!' recipe, replacing garl
ic salt (don't have) with fine salt. I marinated a fat piece of blanched pork belly with 3 tsp salt & 1.5 tsp five spice powder then left it uncovered in the fridge for few days. Today I baked it for abt 30 mins @ 220 -230 C. It turns up nice & crispy except a bit too salty.I made a big Mango Mousse Cake too, baked a 10" round sponge cake with Optima Sponge Cake Mix yesterday. For the
creaming today, I sliced the cake into 2, placed it into the newly bought 11" round cake ring & followed Florence `Do What I like' recipe. Her cake size was not stated, the mousse was insufficent to cover completely the side of my big cake. I topped with cubed mango.My lovely darlings each bought me their own presents. Jiejie is in choir, she give me the musical DVD `Grease 2'. Gege was in Lot 1 for 2 hrs looking for presents within his & Didi's budget, finally he had the hook massager & handphone holder gift-wrapped. Told Meimei that I will bake the cake (she bought me a small figurine cake for past yrs), she got me the flowers & a strawberry mousse.
So sweet of them!! My wish is that they're able to love, care & concern for each other FOREVER...
