Sandwich for the Zoo & New Sandwich Maker

We are going to zoo this morning, so I decided to wake up early this morning to prepare snack for J, ZY and RY after the visit. I bought these sandwich maker from Kai Kai at Chinatown Point yesterday, wanted to make use of the new gadget for the children.


I used the Mickey and Minnie sandwich maker to have cheese sandwich for J and ZY and Mickey strawberry jam sandwich for RY.

I tried using the Tomica Car sandwich maker but the end result turns out not nice. I couldn't sprinkle milo nicely onto the sandwich to get the nice design as shown in the packaging.

Rice Balls Again

Today made use of the moulds to make rice balls again. This time I wet the moulds after each moulding, find the rice looks better than yesterday. This is part of today's dinner. J's dinner consist of rice (grounded rolled oats added), carrots, mushroom fishballs (in pic), fishcake tofu, cabbage and potato. I dumped the ingredients into a pot and boiled like soup with rolled oats added, tried this for the first time. Well received by J. I let J tried to use the rice mould to shape rice balls, he had fun with it.

I bought some shapes sprinkles quite some time ago but didnt make use of it. This time I used it in the cornflakes to make it look more interesting.

Class Party

J has class party every month. The children are suppose to bring along a plate of party food to share with their friends. Beside preparing the party food, I will usually also bake cookies for the children to bring home. I find that it's more like having a party with a goodie bag. Just finished baking these cookies for Thursday's party. I'll usually bake the cookies few days beforehand and then prepare the party food on the day before the party.




I usually bake bite size cookies. This time I decided to use a bigger cutter and made used of the food markers I bought recently to decorate the cookies.




I packed them into cookie bags for each child. Hope the children will like these cookies.

Bento #53

Sponge Cakes

I attended a cake baking workshop last Sunday by Gina, Kitchen Capers. Tried to do what I've learnt. But I modified the recipe. As I have remaining self raising flour so I made used of self raising flour instead of plain flour in Gina's recipe, also tried to use shredded cheddar cheese. But I think I added too little cheese, cant really taste the cheese in the cake but the texture is very soft. I made used of my cute silicon moulds for the cakes.
