We had enjoyed the trip. This was girlet's 4th trip to Sydney, but boylet's 1st. Poor babylet had to stay home as we didn't want to plan the trip around her naps. Turned out to be a blessing as it was the coldest winter in Sydney in 40 years. Boylet said he loved the cold weather. Yeah, he is such a sweaty boy. Anyway, will post pics soon (although super efficient -and obsessive- hubby has downloaded the pics, super procrastinator me need some time). Also have to take pics of my purchases from the supermarket. Yay!
Ending this post with a bento girlet had before the school break. Girlet loves glutinous rice, so cooked Lor Mai Fun for her. After steaming, used heart & star cookie cutters and clingwrap to shape the rice. There were chicken stuffed in the rice. Added two siumai, bought earlier, and half a ladyfingers stuffed with fishpaste. Fruits were heart & star shaped apples. Had to place the heart shaped cups upside down to fit in the box. Lastly, a pig shaped container of sweet sauce for dipping. Girlet ate everything except the ladyfingers. She ate the seeds though. Strange girl, she likes tomato without the seeds, and ladyfinger's seed without the ladyfingers.

Blessed mom & lzmommy : I learnt to make Lor mai fun while in Uni overseas. But everything agak-agak, so the results is not consistent. hehe... this time round, too much dark soy sauce, huh? And ran out of Chinese sausage so made do without it. You can try this recipe from cooking momster : http://cookingmomster.blogspot.com/2007/08/lor-mai-kai-glutinous-rice.html. Let me know how it turn out. Maybe I should follow it and have a more consistent result.
wow, you can cook lor mai fun? I only learn Asian cooking last year when Kimberly came back from MIL's place to live with me. Still got a lot to learn about cooking.
Looking forward to your stash from Sydney. I have always love shopping for food in Australia. All I ever buy from there is food! haha !

YL
Oh didn't realize tat is a piglet container.So cute.
YL : that was one of the first things I got from ebay.
sue sue : the container actually comes with a spreader (a flat spoon, so to spread butter/jam on bread). I left it out, in case girlet loses it.
