Life between trips

I was so tempted to get a bread maker after attending the Panasonic cooking workshop. After mulling it for a week, i decided to jump right onto the bandwagon and bought a bread maker from harvey norman online using the discount voucher at SGD $260 Summary: I bought the breadmaker on the premise that i will use the bread maker at least once a week to make the most out of it and it will be considered a good return on investment. Since the purchase i did try to bake bread at least every other week. Pizza at least 2 times. I like the seafood pizza recipe they shared during the class. Not all bread makers are created equal. This is easy to use and makes perfect bread. Bread making rarely fail, the only times it did is when my yeast expired or I put too much cheese in the recipe rendering the dough too heavy. Pros: - fuss free, all you need to to put all the ingredients and you get your bread in 2 - 4 hours. -  easy to use, idiot proof recipe to follow - hea...

I wanted to get weeks about it  I purchased this item from Tangs at SGD $399. They are having a promotion of discount SGD $50 if you spend SGD $500. So i top up with a vacuum tumbler and pyrex glass dish. After several months of using, here are my comments on this cutie steam oven. This is purely a steam oven with no microwave function. One of the rare oven with no microwave function.  I am ok with it as i steam fishes regularly and its a perfect addition of appliance. The other alternative is the miele steam oven and it is on offer at the same time for SGD $1600. The oven can be plugged to main power point as it is at 13 amp.  Summary: Here are some of my observations using the steam oven.  Buns Easy peasy for the early morning rush to work, put the char siew bao into the oven. Set it to 10 mins and you can steaming hot bun to eat for breakfast. Fish I steam fish majority of the time. It is super easy to use for steaming fish Vegetables Tr...

I am getting lazy to do housework. My sister is using an earlier version of irobot and i asked to borrow it. After the "trial" i decided to get my own. So i can use it on my lazy days (which is most days now).  Someone asked me if it cleans well? I think it does because it will go to all corners of the room to wipe the room. Even under the bed as well. It does the job for me while i busied myself with other stuff so thumbs up to it.  Purchased the item during national day promotion at SGD $450 from the authorised retailer, John Ackerman After several months of using, here are my comments on this mopping robot.  Summary: As my bedroom flooring is laminates, i only use magic clean wipes to wipe the bedrooms.  For the living room and kitchen i try to use the wipe down function with the blue cloth but i do put one or 2 drops of magic clean solution to wipe the floor.  Soon i get pristine clean floor. Perfect for lazy people! The down side is i...
