Baby's Head already Engaged!

We went for routine check-up last sat. After doing the scan, the gynae told us the baby's head already went down completely and engaged. So it could be anytime now until due date. He briefed us on what to look out for and when to come to hospital.

Wow... we're excited but still hope the baby will come on time, which is near full term so that she can gain on more weight eventhough she's already 2.8kg now hehe.....

ok, the 'emergency bag' is ready, but the mummy is still not mentally prepared =)

Well, just have to take it easy and let the baby decides when she's ready to come out!!!

I still managed to cook Curry Chicken for saturday's lunch, didn't snap any nice pic cos someone is so hungry and started attacking the chicken already.

Anyway, this is Ken's breakfast today, fish fillet croissant and grapes:

Birthday Celebration @ Elcerdo

El Cerdo = "The Pig" in Spanish.

We went on Merdeka Day, the place was packed, you won't be able to get a table without reservation

Starter - Pork Sausage & ham in 'jelly'

The piglet in the washroom hehe....

Green bean with pork soupPork ribs - very crispy and juicy

The whole piglet before it's chopped

The guy from the restaurant, who looks like Jamie Oliver, explained, according to Spanish customary, the piglet was chopped with plate to show how crispy it was. Brandon was asked to make a wish before he proceed to 'attack' the piglet
'Jamie Oliver' shows the right way of chopping. Then followed by Brandon chopping the tail. Julian was shocked why these two 'ko ko' want to 'kill' the pig...
The plates were broken into pieces by throwing them into the bucket filled with stones. You can hear the shatterings in the restaurant the whole night. I wonder how many plates they break in one night.
The piglet then sent to kitchen to be chopped (again)
Garnished with mini potato

The b'day girl with her creatively-decorated 'b'day cake', which comes with a 'lucky pig' too. They played the b'day song which goes "Happy B'day to you, oink oink". It's so catchy and the very first time we heard such a porky b'day song hahaThe lucky pig - only for b'day girl

The strawberry dessert - with choc ice-cream, nuts, cream etc

Complementary from the restaurant - Martini Lemon, Vans & the kids were served with apple juice

Besides, we'd had salads, pasta and rice. so much and we didn't snap any pic of it cos we're busy eating then.

Nice place to go but the price is on the high side.

El Cerdo

Anyone been to El Cerdo? Next post will be on El Cerdo, where we celebrated Vans' sis birthday.

Stay tune for the "porky" post.........

Bento Craze

Recently, i had been searching for Bento accesories at ebay. Unfortunately, it's either too pricey or they charge unreasonably high postage. Actually, we do have local online store for Bento making acessories but the prices are abit on the high side, most probably they have factored in the delivery cost from Japan as well. Read from some blogs that bento kit are also available at 100 Yen shop but there are not many varieties, like those can be found in Jusco.

Then i found a lady who works in Japan at one of the parenting forums, who is willing to help to purchase those accessories and post it to M'sia.

I've bought a few kits to start off with. While my nieces were in KL, I had tried to make the eggs using the egg moulds, sausage with the wieners, and breads with the cutters. Didn't manage to snap the pics of the sausages and breads cos i was in hurry to bring them out for shopping. Definitely, the kids like it very much. And I'll surely make time to make a complete set of bento using my new kits hehe
