2009.11.11 My Little Peanut

Hubby and I were so excited to see the little baby for the first time,
before starting our first ultrasound, the doctor asked me...
Doctor: "do you feel pregnant?"
Me: ..............."yeah...i puked a lot!" XD~

the baby is still so tiny, about 2 inches, but he/ she move a lot already,
during the ultrasound, the baby moves his/ her arms and legs, looks so cute,
I was amazed, and it was feel surreal...
after all this time, we finally can see how the baby looks like,
it warms my heart to see the baby is healthy and the heart beating steadily

I haven't met you yet, but i know that I love you already my little peanut... ;)

2009.11.10 Cold Cold Night...Warm Sweet Dessert

It's a rainy day...and it's so cold here in Seattle,
I've been craving for a warm and sweet dessert to warm my body,
after craving for 2 days, finally i made it today,

Black Sticky Rice with Coconut Milk
Hubby and I ate this while playing Resident Evil on PS3...i mean, he was playing and i was watching him play...i'm suck at that game, keep getting killed by the zombie!! XD~

The green leaf on the coconut milk was the pandan leaf,
it made the dish became so fragrant! I'm so glad to find it on the Asian grocery store.
I was soooooooooo happy to find it...really!!
back in my dad's house in Bali, we got bunch of pandan leaf growing on our garden, and get stomped by the twin labs everyday!! ;p

2009.09.20 Hi Phil!

this is an overdue post,
but I would like to post it since it has lots of picture of food as well...haha
you know I love foodsss, foods are fun ;))

my hubby been telling me stories about his bestfriend, Phil,
he shown me pictures of him too,
and I was excited to finally meet the mysterious guy ;D
the first time I met him was on September 19th 2009,
we went to this all you can eat hot pot place at china town, so delish!!
been there billion time, never remember the restaurant name...haha...
all i can say now is that the hot pot place is located close by the craw fish restaurant ;p

the next day, we went fot dim sum...yumyum...
but that day, we didn't go to our usual dim sum place, Jade Garden.
somehow the polices block the way to chinatown @_@
so we end up try this other dim sum place on the gloomy plaza next to Viet Wah supermarket
unlike Jade Garden, you don't have to wait in line in this place ;p
the food is not bad too,

my all time favorite, Xia Gao...can finish 3 portions of this all by myself ;p
Shiumay...is that how we spell it?? lol
with Kenny & Phil,
can you see the steam chicken feet on the table...oh yummy!! haha
I think Chinese people really eat everything, feets, intestines, butts...you name it!! XD~
hubby and I,
we love to dip the dish with red vinegar + soy sauce + lots of chili sauce...delish!!
the food festival didn't stop there,

later on, we went for dinner at Julia's Kitchen...an Indonesian restaurant,
i love this place, imho, it's pretty authentic ;))

the happy dinners ;D

Nasi Rames - Ayam Kremes
the fried chicken is super good!! i always craving for more...i want it now!! drolls...

Nasi Timbel,
Steamed rice with Javanese fried chicken, fried marinated tofu, spicy anchovies, and accompanied with tamarind soup

they were happy with the food I ordered for them ;D

last but not least...my Rijtafel!!

mine was with empal and rendang...so yummy!!

2009.11.06 Quick Dinner

When i feel very low in energy,
and don't really have the drive to cook something fancy,
then we'll have something really simple for dinner
it took less than 10 minutes to prepare this ;))

Indonesian Food: Bihun Bakso (Rice Vermicelli with Beef Meatballs)

tomato was added to the soup to add fresh tangy'nes flavour to combat my nausea

garnished with fried garlic and fried onion

My bowl and his... ;D

2009.11.06 TGIF!!!

Thank God it's Friday!!!
I'm super duper happy!! I always longing for weekend ;D
but this weekend won't be as fun and free as i expected it to be,
have 3 papers to do during this short weekend...boohoo...

but the good news is, next Wednesday is the Veteran day,
meaning, one extra holiday in the middle of the week, how fun is that!!

I called my family practice today to schedule my first ultrasound on next Wednesday,
I'm really curious about how the little baby gonna look like...hmmm...
my friend told me that on her 1st ultrasound, the baby looked like a bean,
then on the 2nd, it looked like alien, then finally on her 3rd ultrasound, the baby finally looks like human, with little penis! haha...they having a boy!
can't wait for 9 more weeks to check my baby's gender too!!
I'm always so curious, and hate to wait so long before I can find out about stuff...hmmmfff...

as you all know, there's so much old wive tales out there,
I'm not a superstitious person, but sometimes it's fun to "guess" the baby gender based on those old tales...the stomach shape...what do you craving for...blablabla...
so i took 2 baby gender quizzes online...
the 1st result is a boy
the 2nd one is a girl...LOL
oh well...i guess i just need to be patient and wait a little longer to find out ;D

but...IF i will have a girl,
the kid will probably looks like me...since the due date is only 3 days apart from my birthday,

when i was 3 years old ;D
