Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
Fresh Gourmet is the biggest provider of salad toppings, especially croutons, in the US and have brought their delicious products exclusively to UK Tesco stores to inspire us Brits to become more creative with our salads. The range includes three crunchy croutons flavours – Cheese and Garlic, Basil Pesto and Sea Salt and Cracked Black Pepper – along with Crispy Onions and is ideal for people who like a salad in the summer but need that added texture to jazz up the dish.
Last week, we went to Warwick Castle to meet Mike the Knight and bought our six Schleich Dragon & Griffin Knights with us. Come and follow our adventure! Once upon a time, there were two warring teams of knights, the Griffin team and the Dragon team. One day, they were teleported to a mystical land called Warwick and their only hope of returning home was to climb the mound to shoot the troll who lives in the church. But first they must battle each other…
Chessington World of Adventures Resort is a theme park, zoo and hotel in South West London, England. Starting this May, Captain Barnacles and Kwazii, heroes of the Octonauts crew, have arrived with their missions to save sea creature in trouble and now young adventurers can meet two of their heroes in person located next to the SEA LIFE centre! Not only that! Zufari: Ride into Africa! is opening! Join the African Conservation, Research & Exploration team (ACRE) to encounter live safari animals – including White Rhino, Giraffe and Grevy’s Zebra.
We had a fab time meeting Mike the Knight at Warwick Castle. I would like to thank HIT Entertainment Ltd who organised the trip and Warwick Castle for providing the event. This is our children’s first visit to the glorious Warwick castle and to learn about medieval history, magic, myth and adventure. It only took us 50 minutes to reach the castle from Lichfield.
I didn’t have a desire to learn to drive which I can pinpoint back to being involved in a car accident with my dad when I was very young. Also, living in Singapore and London, public transport is regular, easy to use, cheaper and less stressful than owning your own car.
We are a big fan of the Cbeebies channel because it is age appropriate for my kids and the shows are entertaining. My children love to watch Mister Maker, Grandpa In My Pocket and a lot more. We first got to know Cloudbabies last year in May 2012 when they first showed it on Cbeebies. Now both of my children are in full time school, they missed their favourite Cbeebies shows.
Recently, through a fellow blogger, I got to learn about Hygiene Revolution. The Hygiene Revolution has been borne out of the claims made by other brands in the hygiene/cleaning space. They believe that products containing Byotrol technology are the only products on the market that can kill and protect from unwanted germs for up to 24 hours.
I have been sent two products: Tesco Anti-Bacterial Multi-Purpose Cleaner and Boots Anti Viral Hand Foam. If you followed my blog, you should know I am house proud and I clean my house very regularly. I use all sorts of products to keep it clean.
If you had followed my post about my daughter who was diagnosed with lymphadenopathy, I am so glad to tell you that we had a ‘fantastic’ result. She is having glandular fever and not cancer. So what is glandular fever? They are a type of viral infection that mostly affects young adults. Common symptoms include fever, a sore throat and extreme tiredness (fatigue).
Cleaning has become one of my regular pastimes as a Stay At Home Mum. To be honest, I do love to clean my house as I am house proud. Over the years, I have tried so many big brand cleaning products and recently came across Maid Simple. Maid Simple is a family business that has been involved with cleaning products for over 20 years. I have received four cleaning products from them and this is what I think about their products.
Sprogs Inc is a new online children’s boutique company launched officially in May 2013. They offer clothes, shoes, toys and gifts for children aged 0 to 8 years. They stock British, European and American brands and produce their own label clothes too. Ms C loved doing her catwalk in her heels and showing off her new clothing from Sprogs Inc (Capsule Mix and Match Set – Four Pieces).
My mum has used Vanish for many years now so Vanish is a brand that has always stayed close to me. Each time I go back to Singapore, there will be a pink bottle sitting next to her washing machine. However, both our children suffer from eczema so we have steered clear of any fabric stain removal products or bio washing powders. That mean our clothings are looking dull, faded and full of stains.
When I was growing up, I owned a Nintendo Game Boy. Swapping games and comparing high scores with friends was all the rage in an ultimate attempt for one-upmanship. As I recount the games I had and played with, I recall many that provided a lot of fun but none that provided development or educational content.
What makes cakes stand out? That would be the stand of course! Seriously though, without them, they would be so plain and boring. I previously had a cheap plastic cake stand and whilst functional, it didn’t add to the experience. So I was on the hunt for a new cake stand. It was not easy to find something that would stand out and look good as the centrepiece of your table.
Last Friday, I found a lump on Ms C’s throat. The first thing I did was rush to Birmingham Children’s A&E. When we got there, the place was packed. It was Friday evening and I asked myself, does she or does she not need to go A&E? Her lump is not life threatening and she is happy and breathing well. In my earlier panic, I had not thought it through.
Do you ever leak urine when you run, cough, sneeze or laugh? Since two natural births, I found that I have these problems but have not taken it seriously. I went to the doctors a couple of years ago and was referred to the specialist nurse. I was not impressed with their advice and had left it. Now, it has got so bad that I have had enough and want to sort myself out.
