Kitdget 25L Professional Food Steamer Review

If you are looking quick and healthier ways to cook your food, then steaming food is one of the best cooking methods of all. It helps to retain the nutritional value of food by conserving the fibre, colour, texture and flavour of vegetables. It also helps in preserving the water-soluble B & C vitamins, potassium, phosphorus and zinc.

Do remember that steaming is not just only for vegetables and fish! There are plenty of ways to cook a meal using steam! You can also steam a cake/cupcake, dim sum, chicken and many more! Do check out my recipes: steam rose bun, niao gao, rice cake, seabass, sponge cake.

National Geographic STEM Kits Review

This half term, we have been busy excavating and learning all about shark teeth and the precious gemstones thanks to these National Geographic STEM educational kits from Bandai. These kits are a great hit in this household and have added to our ever growing collection!

What I like about these kits is that they provide genuine items and not those cheap copies that you sometimes find. Both my children were so excited as both of them love collecting shark teeth and rocks. Whenever we visit the Sealife Centre or a museum, they both like to buy these types of souvenirs!

Disney Dumbo Live Action Plush Review

With just a month to go until the release of Disney’s Dumbo movie on 29th March 2019, we are delighted to own this adorable Dumbo 15 cm plush from Just Play.

The movie is about Circus owner Max Medici who enlists Holt Farrier to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughing stock in an already struggling circus. But when Holt’s children discover that Dumbo can fly, persuasive entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere and an aerial artist named Colette Marchant swoop in to make the peculiar pachyderm a star. This is such a classic Disney film that will surely be loved by many! To be honest, I have forgotten most of the storyline from the original animated movie and can’t wait to watch it!
