Tried and tested cooking keto : Spinach and onion coconut milk soup

This doesn't look very appetizing but believe me, this is super delicious!  It's not that difficult to make too.  Saw a few recipes online about this, but some not so keto friendly.  So, made some changes to the ingredients and voila!

Ingredients:
A bunch of English Spinach leaves - I bought a bunch of spinach and pluck out the leaves.
1 yellow onion, roughly chopped - Yellow onions are sweeter so, if on keto diet, then don't put too much.
1/2 cup of coconut milk
1 cup of chicken stock
Coconut or olive oil for cooking
Salt for taste

Method:
1. Put some oil into a big pot.  Stir-fry the onions until they caramelized.  If onions are raw, it will affect the taste of the soup.  If onions are caramelized, the soup will be sweeter.

2. Add chicken stock and spinach and cook until the spinach is thoroughly cooked.

3. If you have a hand blender, switch off the fire and then blend the onions and spinach leaves until fine.  If you don't have a hand blender, scoop the soup and onions and spinach into the normal blender and blend until fine and then transfer back to the pot.

4. Add coconut milk and continue cooking until boiled. 

5. Add salt for taste.

And done!  Try it, it's packed with nutrients, no sugar and yet sweet and the coconut milk made it a lot more tastier.  And it's a vegetable soup!  My girl loves it very much!

This is very easy to cook.  The only trouble was I didn't have a hand blender and scooping the soup out into the blender made a bit of mess.  But totally doable!

Review: Grand Lexis vs Lexis Hibiscus at Port Dickson

I have been to both and can honestly tell you that I much preferred Lexis Hibiscus to Grand Lexis.  And here's why. Lexis Hibiscus Pros: 1. Very near to the highway. 2. Located near the beach (although very small area). 3. Food stalls located within walking distance to the hotel. 4. Better services from the staff. 5. Bigger pathway for walkers and cyclist (for those who like to do some walking and cycling). 6. Better view of the sea. 7. Swimming pool is located outside the chalet with sea view (depends where the chalet is facing). 8. Sauna is provided in the chalet. 9. Wide spread of breakfast buffet. Cons: 1. A bit more pricey. 2. Public pool is boring. 3. No kitchenette. 4. If it rains, the sound on the roof is very loud because of the material of the roof (sounds like zinc roof). 5. Toilet door is without lock.   Grand Lexis Pros: 1. Nice public pool with slides for the kids. 2. Big swimming pool inside each room. 3. Wide spread

The Big Kindy Search Continues

Since my last The Big Kindy Search post , I have been looking around for kindies and been visiting some.  Here's my feel about them all. 1) Tadika Diyana Read good reviews about this and decided to check them out, though out of our way and far from home.  I love how the price is quite ok but still a bit on the high side (you can check it out at their website). I visited the premise and I really love how it is run like a mini primary school.  It's huge, with its own hall, field and canteen, although downsize version and it's just like a school.  Not like a bungalow with rooms as classroom.   However, I have decided not to send my girl because they will be moving to Sungai Penchala (further up from TTDI, near to the Penchala Link), which will be much further from our home.  Though they do have transporters, but I feel very wary about sending my 4 year old (next year) to a transporter. What I like about Tadika Diyana is they have 2 medium, English and Chines

PPUM Pediatrics Emergency Department

Being a mom proves to be the hardest job in the world.  Accidents do happen but when they actually happened, most people will panic and unsure what to do.  And when it involves kids, and being the mother of the only child, with no prior emergency experience, this is a traumatizing and frightening episode and a lesson for me to learn. My 3.5 years old girl was being very curious and naughty that fateful day.  She stood on the chair and play with my massage oil and containers and broke one of the small glass cups and when she panicked she came down from the chair and stepped on the broken glass. She was bleeding a lot and crying.  Since this happened at about 10.30pm, my first response was to drive her to a 24-hour clinic.  So, we went to the 24-hour Mediviron clinic but was turned away by the nurses, stating that her case is very serious and need to be referred to a hospital instead. My mind at that time was running at full speed.  I wasn't sure which hospital to go as
