Agar Mooncakes

My attempt at agar mooncakes.....

Mock egg yolks and lotus paste - made of coloured coconut agar and gula melaka agar
Like real??


09.09.09

09.09.09 was my husband's 40th birthday, attempted to be Rachel Ray - everything done in 30 mins (actually, I took 3 days).....made a cake and agar and get a party going at Aloha Changi for family and friends....

Looks vaguely like a sand castle? nah...it's a stadium!!!!


Jazzing it up to look more like a stadium of people watching football???
Druuummmmmm rooooolllll....tada!

Yeh yeh! SPURS!! My attempt at icing a cock, didn't seem to fly.....

The cake was the kids' contribution and tribute to papa's favourite team!
Not able to find a rooster pan, i decided to go for a really girly pan....and tada.....a rainbow hued chrysanthemum


Kids had tonnes of fun at Chalet G. There was a nice big field in front. They found coconuts and pretended to be marooned on a lost island, with only coconuts to survive on. The girls were more dainty and did sand art (as opposed to playing with real sand!). At night, other than being stung by mozzies, the kids snapped light sticks and looked for treasure in the dark.
Birthday Boy was rather pleased (I think?) to have a bash where he actually receives real presents (as vs useful presents only from the wife).

Birthday presents.....

Rafael's 3rd birthday was marked with another attempt to make lightning....this time the paint job was slightly better....but still smudgy! Thank goodness for a forgiving 3 year old, he still loved it!


Rafael also started his love affair with anything from Transformers. Watch as the plain agar transforms into Optimus Prime....

For Natalie's 5th Birthday....a carriage fit for a little princess....

Isabel's 8th Birthday

Happy Moo Moo Year!

With the constant viewing of Playhouse Disney, Rafael has picked up some new year greetings in preparation for the CNY.

Me: "Rafael, Happy New Year!"

Rafael:" No, its Happy Moo Moo Year!"

Me:" No, Rafael, its Happy NEW Year!"

Rafael:"NOOOOooo, its Happy Moo Moo Year! Playhouse Disney!"

Looks like I got to explain to the old fogeys, why my son somehow cannot say Happy New Year this year....Long Hiatus again, been distracted with online shopping, bugging kids to do their homework, and the Dec hols.....with 2009, I hope to write a bit more...
