Digital Weighing Scale

Yeah, I bought this amazing weighing scale from City Baker. Hahaha... well, it is amazing to me because I was using ANALOGUE Scale all this while, until one day I thought why not buy a digital weighing scale. I thought anything to do with "DIGITAL" will cost me a bomb. Guess what? This simple Digital Weighing Scale cost me RM 39.90 and it saves me so much time preparing and measuring the right ingredient. 

Love it so much! 

A fulfilling non-working Saturday

Thanks to boss who declared Saturday a day off for all of us , so I could spend a good Saturday with my girls.

Our day started off by sending Jie Jie Chloe to Gymbo Class at 9.30am while Papa, Mama & Clarisse went Chawan to have breakfast. Even though we did not have satisfying meal, Baby Clarisse was happy enough to have her Roti Bakar Kosong. I regretted so much because I found there is a piece which is moldy. Argghhh~~!!  Ya, how can anyone serve moldy bread. Even though it was only a small spot, it is still not acceptable to serve moldy bread to your customer. Sorry... Can't stop complaining since I started on the moldy bread issue. The Roti Jala was no good, the Nasi Lemak's rice was SOGGY and it was COLD. *sigh* DELETE "Even though we did not ..... Roti Bakar Kosong" and I should replace it with "WE DID NOT HAVE A GOOD BREAKFAST AND BABY CLARISSE WAS SERVED WITH MOLDY BREAD." But I was quite sure the piece of bread that I gave Clarisse was fine, and she is fine NOW! 

Even though it was a lousy breakfast, we were still very happy because we were able to spend a good time together during breakfast (minus the meal). Baby Clarisse was talking (babbling) a lot and she was very cheery which made our day! 

After breakfast, Mama sent Baby Clarisse for Gymbo Class while PaPa shopped around. PaPa picked all of us up at 11.30am, and we left Gymbo for Grocery Shopping. 

We arrived home on time for Chloe & Clarisse's Lunch. After lunch, Novi helped to clean them up and sent them for afternoon nap. While our girls were having their naps, Papa and Mama went for an hour gym session. 

We returned home by 3pm, and took a clean shower. After shower, we played with our girls at their play zone. I told Chloe that I will bring her for a swim but we did not have much time to go to Desa, so Mama prepared the inflated little pool and let them have a short dip. They were having so much fun which I will try to post a video if I can (otherwise photos) in my next post.

:P Mama also managed to book for a facial appointment for Papa & Mama @ 6.30pm. While Clarisse and Chloe were having their dinner, Papa and Mama left home for facial.

It was even more fulfilling for PaPa because Papa ended his day with a FUN DRINKING SESSION with his buddy while Mama stayed home had my most precious moments with my two girls in our bedroom sleeping soundly and safely. :) 

Sardine Bun & Raisin Sweet Dough Bread

MaMa prepared the dough and shaped the bun last night, and refrigerated it overnight. So that PaPa and family can have the freshly bake buns for breakfast this morning. 

Sardine Bun.

PaPa complained, "I thought Homemade Buns supposed to have more fillings."

Hello, PaPa... It is not easy to wrap with so much fillings when you want a small bun! I tried to fill with more sardines at the beginning but then the dough broke apart and it broke further during proofing time. I need to learn a good dough technique FIRST, so that I can fill with more sardines next time. So, PaPa!! You better eat whatever I made as an encouragement so that I CAN BE BETTER day by day. :P Thank you "you" la. 

This is not a proper loaf of bread. I used the sweet dough attempting to form into a loaf. As you can see, it is unsuccessful. The sardine buns are meant for adult because of the chili, so I took out a portion of the dough and mix it with Jumbo Size Raisin. Then, I slitted the middle of each dough, added in some butter and sprinkled tiny bits of sugar for my darling Chloe & my baby Clarisse for breakfast. MaMa also refrigerated the dough and baked it this morning. Everyone gets to eat freshly baked bun and bread. :P

The texture of the sweet dough bun is extremely soft. MaMa had a little problem of slicing it, the bread tears easily even though I was using serrated bread knife.

"Thank you MaMa make Chloe Raisin Bread" Chloe said, when she saw me packing two slices of the raisin bread into a bag for her. Sweet! Better enjoy the moment now when she doesn't know how to complain like PaPa. :P Can't imagines all my girls starting to complain "MaMa, Not enough fillings." "MaMa, Not Fresh!" "MaMa, the bun is too big" "MaMa, the bun is not nice" "MaMa, why so sweet?" etc etc etc... I know all these are coming very soon because my girls are growing very fast, and they are also learning very well from PaPa too :P Notii!!!!
