Mum is here! - Day 2

Mum cooked Pancakes for breakfast this morning!!! when was the last time i ate homemade pancakes?! Geez.. i'm extremely grateful.. haha.. she used plain flour, eggs, milk, sugar, salt and a bit of water.. i think this is her own version of pancakes.. Miyuki said they are more like crepes because they are really thin.. and crispy on the sides! the way i like it!

we went to the city slightly past 12noon after our brunch of Pancakes.. we did some shopping, i mean i did some shopping but Mum did quite a bit! she bought 8 bottles of Essential Aromatherapy Oil from Dusk, 6 bottles of Shampoo(!!!) and 2 bottles of Styling Mousse!

we went to Dumpling King and ordered Steamed Peking Pork Dumplings and Fried Pork Dumplings (Gyoza).. Mum was extremely shocked when both dishes were served at the same time because the serving size simply blew her away!!! she was looking at the waitress in shock! wahaha! we managed to eat 19 of those Dumplings and took away 11.. not a bad job!

we went to Kim Wang and bought more groceries to add on to what we bought yesterday.. Mum bought me all these sauces that she thinks are essential in Chinese Cooking.. we then went to the Central Market about 35 mins before it was closed! we managed to buy 5 big apples for A$1 and a punnet of strawberries for A$2! in the end, we had another 2 bags of groceries again!!!

when we got home, Mum cooked 'Fried Bee Hoon' with the Dried Shrimps that we bought from Kim Wang.. my first 'Fried Bee Hoon' here!!! she used Garlic, Onions, Dried Shrimps, Eggs, Cabbage, Carrots and Bee Hoon.. Mum also cooked 'Stewed Pork'! not for tonight's dinner, but for tomorrow's dinner instead.. we left it to stew for a long time and Mum will continue to stew it when we get home tomorrow..

i stir fry some Onions, Broccoli, Red Capsicum, Green Capsicum with Black Beans and Garlic sauce.. so dinner was Fried Bee Hoon and Stir-fry Vegetables..

good food, shopping, nice weather.. all in all, it's a good day! *smilez*
