Lookee what I found-ee….
Wheeeeeeeeee..so happy!
When I read all these enthusiatic mums cooking up a storm for their beloved, I couldn’t help but feel quite useless. You see ah…this horrible mum does nothing but cook the same thing day in day out, for the lil one. Ok la..perhaps the stock base changes..but the main ingredients all the same. Rice, Meat and Vege.
Okla..the meat sometimes also changes…together with different veges. And..I suppose I could say, different veges have different tastes!
"Nutritious Chinese Food for Infants, Children and Youth" by Ng Siong Mui.
Well….lookee here…. I bought this book when I was once an enthusiatic mum! Yea..when you have one..you have time to prepare and cook. When you have two, you have time to pee and poo only. When you have three, the other two will start cooking for that one.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA…going abit overboard on the last sentence there. But could be true IF I train the first two properly, no?
Anyway, this book is really good. It has all the recipes you need to…..
1) relieve constipation,
2) reduce heatiness/fever
3) reduce coughing and phlegm
4) reduce coolingness..err..whatever that means. All I know is boys are too cooling. Or something like that.
5) 6) 7) 
n) bla bla bla…
It’s a good Chinese cooking book (read:non-halal) with pictorial references on herbs. So, if you don’t know how to pronounce the herb in Mandarin/Cantonese..just bring this book and wah la….you’ll be served immediately!
I specifically ordered it from Kinokuniya…but I think you can also order from MPH Online..(the ad up there!). No no no..this is NOT a sponsored post. But thought I share this book with y’all, seeing that there are alot of sick kids out there…..!
Plus..I’m going to make "Snakehead Fish Soup with Watercress" for my aunt tomorrow..first time! I’ll share the recipe IF it tastes good. As you know…fishy soup means fishy smell. Imagine, this recipe does not need GINGER! This Snakehead Fish (Ikan Haruan/Sang Yu) is supposed to be very good for people who just went thru surgery..even my FishMonger said so!
Wow…i must get that book too. Thanks for the info.
