Bento Mommas: Happy Birthday Kailee!

Kailee just turned 5!

I am both happy and sad.  Happy because I can't believe that she's 5!  Sad because she's no longer a baby.  Hahaha!

But in all seriousness.  Where did the 5 years go?

This year, since she's already in pre-school and her birthday fell on a school day, I decided to just have her celebrate in class.  It would have been something different since this year, she has new friends - her classmates!  I was thinking of what to do and an idea popped into my head,

Bento Box!!

Since Kailee's still in her Frozen phase, I asked the Bento Mommas for a Frozen themed bento.  At first, Kailee asked for an Anna bento.  But when she saw the designs, she switched to Elsa!  Hahaha...  So, I obliged and ordered the Elsa bento design.  I am so very thankful to my friends over at Bento Mommas for this wonderful wonderful Elsa Birthday Bento!

Look at the design, look at how much love, patience and effort they put into every box they make.  They're creative, they're precise, they're all so wonderfully talented!  I can't imagine myself doing this - hats off to you Kaye, April and Monet of the Bento Mommas!  Thank you for sharing your talent with us!!


Look at that smile on Kailee's face!!  Priceless, right?

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a full functioning

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't think I can w

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen.  I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us.  I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat.  I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was.  I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe.  She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil.  So I stuck to baking for a while.  It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook.  When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up.  There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking.  It was there that I learned to whip something up with just ing
