Lotus Leaf Rice – Hor Yip Farn

Lotus Leaf Rice

It’s a glorious Sunday, also the second last day of my kids’ week-long school holiday. The daily grind resumes next Tuesday. Might as well enjoy these two days to the max. I woke up earlier than the kids this morning. Made them some egg sandwiches with the Cornell Sandwich Maker. Havent used it this year at all, lol.

Lotus Leaf Rice

MIL popped into the room as they were munching on their sandwiches. She gave me this Lotus Leaf Rice, and also two Char Siu Pao for the kids. My SIL brought them over for my MIL but she has no appetite for something so heavy these days. So, today’s my lucky day :)

Lotus Leaf Rice

Lotus Leaf Rice is something like a cross between Bak Zhang and Lor Mai Kai. Made from almost the same kind of ingredients, and also tastes similar. Just that, Lotus Leaf Rice is shaped like a puffy pillow. My Lotus Leaf Rice has chicken, char siu, dried shrimps, chinese sausage. I cant seem to tell what else is in there. I’m going to drink some Chinese Liu Pao Tea to help ease digestion. Tried Lotus Leaf Rice before? If you havent, most Dim Sum restaurants sell them.

Ipoh Breakfast Treats – Chun Chun Kai Si Hor Fun

Chun Chun Kai Si Hor Fun

I’ve been up since 6 this morning. After updating my blog, i woke hubby up as i wanted to have Kai Si Hor Fun at Chun Chun. Well, it’s actually Restoran Jen Jen. If you hop over to one of my older post, you can see what the signboard outside the coffeeshop looks like.

Chun Chun Kai Si Hor Fun

We arrived shortly after 8am. The shop was half full then. Right after we placed our order and sat down, people started to flock into the shop. Thank God we were early enough. If not, can forget about having breakfast here unless you have time to kill and very patient.

Chun Chun Kai Si Hor Fun

The soup base here is very sweet. The hor fun, of course, fine and smooth. I requested for skinned drumstick with prawns and chicken liver.

Cookie Cutter On Egg Toast

I keep telling myself if i buy recipe books and yet, never put them to good use, then it’s good money wasted. That’s why, i always make it a point to make use of it at least once before it goes and live on my bookshelf forever, lol. I do have quite a lot of recipe books. And yes, they’ve all been used at least once by yours truly before, k.

This morning, i woke up quite early to work on my blogs. Gordon woke up shortly after and asked for a cheese sandwich. The box of Cookie Baking Kit i bought recently is still lying on my desk. And so, i told myself to take it to the kitchen and come up with something for him really quick. Or else, he’ll go wake up Monster Malcolm.

Of course i wont be baking cookies now as i dont even have the basic ingredients needed for that. Well, at least i can still use them on Egg Toast. The loaf of bread is one day past it’s expiry date and just right for making Egg Toast, one of Gordon’s favorite breakfast. Aiya…. whatever has egg in it, he’ll like, period. Here are just some of the pics i took as i played with my new baking toys.

Gingerbreadman and Fish Cookie Cutter on Bread

This is the Gingerbreadman and Fish Cookie Cutter. The Gingerbreadman Cookie Cutter is Gordon’s favorite, and also the thing that made me buy it in the first place, lol. You can buy Gingerbreadman Cookie Cutters online here.

Bird and Star Cookie Cutter on Bread

Gordon told me the Bird Cookie Cutter is a dog!!!! Does it look anything like a dog to you????? And the Star shaped one is self-explanatory.

Heart and Round Cookie Cutter on Bread

And here’s the Heart and Round Cookie Cutter. They fit perfectly on one slice of bread….. phew.

Cookie Cutter Bread and Egg

Here’s what i ended up with after playing in the kitchen for 15 minutes. I used the remainder of the egg to make Egg Sheet. Can you tell which of these are made with Egg Sheet.

Gordon eating Egg Toast

And here’s a happy Gordon chomping down on the Cookie Cutter Egg Toast as he plays with the PSP. Today must be his lucky day :p

Simple Egg Toast For Kids Breakfast

We’re all up early today. It rained the whole night and it’s cold and wet outside. I saw a loaf of bread on the kitchen table and remembered my kids havent had egg toast for quite some time. Egg Toast is one of the easiet breakfast to make for kids.

Ingredients For Egg Toast

I took two eggs from the fridge and added some sugar to it. Trimmed the sides from three slices of bread and cut them each into four smaller pieces. Twelve pieces of egg toast is more than enough to keep my kids happy and full till noon.

Simple Egg Toast

And here’s the final result. In 15 minutes, i dished out a quick and simple egg toast for my kids breakfast. There’s strawberry milk for them too. Now, i gotta go get myself something to eat :)
