Oyster Pancake #001

Father-in-law bought lunch for mother-in-law(MIL) and confinement lady (CL) today, as usual. He bought additional snacks for them from Maxwell market, oyster pancakes, which were supposedly much tastier (or rather to their preference) than the ones sold by Hong's at Amoy .  Apparently, they preferred this Maxwell store (which doesn't open on Sundays) over Hong's cos this store fries it drier, or rather the composition of the flour mixture is not as sticky.

I had been introduced to this delectable snack by dear hubby when he started bringing me to church almost 5 years ago. Its a deep-fried snack containing some flour mixture with small oysters, minced meat, some veg. The entire mixture is laid on a round ladle and lowered into hot oil to fry, with some peanuts on top. During my pregnancy, hubby would get them to make special ones, omitting the oysters, for me.

Today, I could only watch them eat....

"What I missed today" Intro #000

Starting to run out of topics to blog about since I'm cooped up at home all day. Figuring its gonna get worse in 2 weeks time when Im left alone (without confinement lady) to take care of dear daughter. 

Thought I'd start a thread here listing the foods I've been tempted to eat today, but can't because of the following reasons: 

a. food & beverages that been medically proven to be non-beneficial to me or daughter (Im breastfeeding her); 

b. food & beverages that I believe are non-beneficial; 

c. food & beverages that I HAVE BEEN TOLD (by elders) to abstain from; 

d. food & beverages that are not bought for me cos some people think I should abstain from.
