Laksa seafood fried rice using rice cooker

Thanks to #ricecookerman for coming up with the idea to make fried rice using rice cooker, I’ve been making some modifications to the recipe and came up with this laksa seafood fried rice.

Ingredients:

10 pieces of the frozen Hokkaido scallops

1 packet of prima laksa fried rice sauce

Frozen shrimps ~15 pieces

1 cup frozen mixed vegetables

1.25 cups of jasmine rice

3 eggs

1 tablespoon soya sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

3 cloves of garlic, minced and crushed 

1.25 cups of chicken stock 

Spring onions 

Tobiko for garnishing 

I used the chicken stock with scallops for added taste and for the tobiko, I got it from DonDon Donki. 

Procedure:

Wash the rice and add chicken stock and prima laksa sauce to it.

Add the scallops, prawns and frozen mixed vegetables after washing them.

Add soya sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic

Add a dash of pepper, sprinkle some garlic powder and dried parsley for extra seasoning

Stir the content inside the rice cooker before cooking.

In the meantime, beat 3 eggs and season with some maggi seasoning or soya sauce.

After rice is cooked, immediately add the beaten egg and covered rice cooker to keep warm for another 10mins.

This is how it looked like immediately after cooking.

Pour beaten egg all over the top of the rice and covered for another 10mins.

This was how it looked after 10mins.

Immediately give a good stir and break up the egg and mix well with the rice.

After stirring and mixing up the egg, this is how it looked like. 

Add some chopped spring onions into the rice cooker and mixed it again with the chicken rice.

Tada~! Laksa seafood fried rice is done. Put some tobiko on top of the rice, to give an extra crunch and savory taste to it.  

Start of my one week holiday

Yes! I’ll be taking my off in lieu on tue which means I won’t be going back to work until next Friday. Yippee!

So today was day 1 of my 1 week holiday in Singapore. Where else can I still go? 

Since I can’t go traveling  anymore, the only enjoyment in life now is food. Sighz.... anyway, came across the brown sugar and sea salt milk which i had been wanting to get since the rice cooker man introduced about it. Conclusion: not bad! It’s not as sweet as I expected and it had a slight sea saltish after taste. Nice but need to drink it while cold coz dun taste so good once it’s no longer cold....

Another thing I found at the cold storage in Kovan was this hello kitty apple vanilla cream beer and the newly launched Hershey mint cream wafers. Been looking for the hello kitty beer since last week. 

Conclusion: can taste the apple vanilla taste of the beer during the first sip. However for $7, it’s too expensive and tastewise was not anything to rave about. Yet to try the Hershey wafers.

Today was day 46 of CCB. Yesterday, there was a spike 13 positive covid cases from the community which was the highest in more than 3 weeks....😱

As for today, there was 614 new cases and 4 were from the community. Phew~ if this continue to be double digits, who knows when this CCB will ends...

To date, the total number of cases in Singapore is 30426. We had exceeded the 30000 benchmark today.

My dog finally vomit out the durian seed...

I have lost count of how many days since CCB....been working like a zombie for 12hrs on Fri and Sat and time just flies....woke up today thinking it’s Sunday but it’s Monday.

Yesterday, my dog vomit out something and I realized it’s the durian seed he swallowed on the 29 April....

Omg....that seed had been inside him for more than 2 weeks! It’s too big to be excreted out so in the end it had to been vomited out. Poor silly old dog, he must be v uncomfortable with that thing stuck inside him for so long! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Anyway, yesterday was day 41 and there was an increase of 682 cases where 5 were from the community and 4 were work permit holders living outside dormitories. Total cases is now at 28038 and 22 deaths.

Stay home DIY project

Got this from my last trip to Taiwan which seems like a long long time ago....

You can make the figurine in either the opaque blue covering or the transparent blue covering. Initially, I did the opaque blue covering but later I changed it to the transparent one coz it shows the internal mechanism which is the highlight of this model.

Took me about 1-2 hrs to assemble it. The small cutter was important there are many small parts which needed trimmings or else it won’t fit properly.

Ta-da~! The completed transparent covering of Doraemon and its internal mechanism. Love Doraemon! It was my fave character when I was young. Sometimes I wish I had a real Doraemon as my friend.

The arms are movable. There is an option to assemble it in standing or sitting down position. 

It would be nicer if the bell was real and made a sound. Overall, a simple and fun project to pass the time. 

Day 36 & 37

Yesterday, there was a reported increase of 884 cases of which were from the community and 3 were workers living outside dormitories. 

Today, there was 675 new cases with 4 from the community. Total number of cases to date now is 25346. We exceeded the 25000 benchmark today. Good news is that  number of cases from the community has remained single digits for the past 4 days.

Looks like things have been improving but not sure whether it will remain so after the CB ends on 1 June. There are many cases of resurgence after lockdown eased in other countries such as China, Korea etc. 

Anyway, there is still no light at the end of the tunnel.....will still be inside this dark long tunnel, occasionally having to hold our breathe and brace and occasionally able to breathe again for a while before going back to hold our breathe and brace again....again  and again until god knows when....

I realize why I have been feeling so sianz and lost recently. Coz there is nothing to look forward to anymore. Used to look forward to my next trip and plan for it....but now....there’s nothing, except maybe looking forward to your next meal....

Day 34 and Day 35

Day 34 saw an increase in 876 cases in which 4 were from the community and 11 were work permit holders living outside dormitories.

Day 35 saw an increase of just 486 new cases in which 2 were from the community. The low number reported was due to fewer tests being processed in a laboratory. Total number of cases is 23822 to date.

Today, Macdonalds opened for the first time since it was closed due to the circuit breaker. 🎉🎉

Eggo Choco chips waffles for brekkie

Got this a NTUC recently coz has a sudden craving for waffles. Thought of getting a waffle maker to make waffles at home but heck....found a easier and better solution. Juz pop this frozen waffles into a oven or in my case, a microwave with convection function. Preheat microwave at 230 degree Celsius and then place waffles inside for 5mins at 230 that same temp. 

Ta-da~! Home made waffles with a banana, blueberries, whipped cream and Hershey chocolate sauce! 😋 Yunmy!

The waffles was chewy yet crispy on the outside and bananas really go well with chocolate sauce. Simple and quick fix for my waffle craving. Haha...
