Mokuren Japanese Cuisine - Wild Boar's Birthday

We celebrated Wild Boar's birthday at Mokuren Japanese Cuisine two months ago.  Forgotten to blog about it :p until I saw the photos in one of my photo folders in my PC :p .    Piggy Jo came back with the boy , now the fiance :) , to celebrate the dad's birthday.  Josh was in UK then , so he missed out the event.  Nothing to shout out about...just a simple dinner at Mokuren with the loved ones.    Read on to see what we had for his birthday....no birthday cake too coz the ' Sow ' was too lazy to bake the Wild Boar a cake LOL!

Discover Malaysia Property - Johor

With the strong economy in Singapore, many Malaysians are seeking jobs in Singapore .  And many Malaysians working in Singapore are looking for apartments and houses in Johor. The nearest state in Malaysia that is within travelling distance to Singapore.  Some finds it cheaper to stay in Johor :)

Thus, the best place to look for decent homes and properties in Johor would be to log in to Propwall Johor for this website happens to have a vast amount of property analysis, articles and has over 600,000 visual images to help potential residents or tenants to evaluate the accomodations listed on the portal.  The portal is equipped with a ' Classifieds' section which help bridge the gap between the owners and potential tenants.  With this, property owners are able to promote their properties and prospective tenants will have a good understanding of the real property.  With this vital information on Propwall Johor, it is useful portal for property owners to know the current market price for their properties and for prospective tenants to seek out luxury houses or condominiums . Be it for negotiation or clarification, it would be said that this portal offers various ways for its users to communicate and interact with one another.

My Piggy Josh has graduated and is back home and he is looking for a job in Singapore.  I will have to help him look for a place to stay in Singapore when he gets a job there.  Or another alternative is to look for accomodation in Johor and thus with this portal , it will be an answer to my prayer !  :)  All the best to all job seekers looking for a job in Singapore. To Piggy Josh, may you be successful in your job seeking adventure :p   Momsie here wishing you all the best !

Sea Clams With Basil

Sea Clams for the weekend !!! love this to bits. Saw some big fat ones in the market and who could resist even when the price is  RM25 per kg !   Bought half a kilo back and tucked them in without any guilt.  Good thing that it is pricey or I will tuck them in everyday and clog up my arteries with them.   The price will keep me from over indulging in them !  The price saved my arteries from abuse !

Pan Fried Chicken Fillets With Nando's Hot Peri Peri Seasoning Rub

Nando's Hot Peri Peri Seasoning rub is so good for pan fried meat, chicken or pork and it is also best for any roast . This is the last packet that Josh bought for me .  I  flipped the box to see what is written on the back of the packet , looking hard to see what ingredients is made of the rub.....maybe I can replicate it as near as possible LOL!

Support The American Red Cross Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund !

As a blogger, I think I should do my part to support The Red Cross Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund.  I read about this from Chef Dennis's  blog and feels that I should help too.  My brother stays in New Jersey and he was without power and water supply for a few days.  Lucky for him and his family, they only experienced strong winds and power supply cut.  I could not get through to him for the past few days. And knowing that they are well and not badly affected, I could not but thank God for keeping them safe .  But for those  staying near the coastal area, it was sad to state that it was a total wreck to properties and lives.  My care and concern for them and this is the only thing I can do to help out.  And I am sure you too would like to do your part in helping.

Just grab the badge from any sidebar you see it in, and place it on your website, or copy and paste the image with a link to the American Red Cross Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund. No mentions or any back links please, just display the badge with the link to the American Red Cross Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund and ask your friends to do the same.

Beef Burger Patties

When you have meat eaters in the home, you tend to stock up meat in the freezer.  I would normally make beef patties and freeze them , so that whenever I am late home, I can just dump  them in the oven and by the time I am out of the bathroom, the patties are ready for Wild Boar to eat with his dinner :p   Baked ones are not oily and so much healthier .  Less washing too :)   Read on to see how I prepared them in advance for rainy days :p
