Kai's recent fav meal

13th months Kai is in the phase of melepeh makanan :) somehow she just got bored with food.. One time she loves it, then she's lepeh.. Bzzz gives me headache seriously..

But then, if I made this meal, she just kept eating and eating.. Where I didn't make this meal particularly for her.. This is pretty much adult and Indonesian food :) not like the things I usually made for her (spaghetti, mashed potato, macaroni n cheese, etc) haha I guess Kai is really daddy's lil girl..

So here's the recipe.. Abit sour and abit hot :)

Ingredients :
0.5kg ribs
3 tbl olive oil
6 bawang merah
2 siung bawang putih
5 cabai merah (throw the seed away to make it less spicy)
1cm lengkuas
2 daun salam
Carrots
3 tomat (divided into 4)
8 belimbing wuluh (divided half)
2 tblspoon asem jawa
1 teaspoon gula jawa
Telur puyuh, already peeled

How to :
Boiled the ribs, until tender.

Heat the oil in a pan, put the bawang merah, bawang putih, cabai merah, lengkuas, salam and wortel until you can smell the aroma and caramelized.
And mix in the broth. Measure the broth from the ribs. Take 1 liter of the broth.

Add the tomat, belimbing wuluh.
To make the ribs very tender, I used pressure cooker. I cooked it for 45 min.

Then add the asam jawa, gula jawa, salt and sugar to taste :)

Baby Stroller Review

Kai only use one stroller tho. So I'm gonna review Kai's one and only stroller :)

Kai's stroller is the big and sturdy Maclaren Techno XLR.. Eyang mama's gift.. It was totally worth the price. London price tho :) this stroller cost too much here in Indonesia..

I've been googling soo many stroller before I decided this one. And there's so many good review towards this one. But after we use it, we found quite plenty problems.. Oh well.. I guess no strollet is perfect :)

So here's the quick review :
Pros
- Big and sturdy (it can hold my 5 years old nephew)
- Lightweight (for a stroller that can hold big kids)

Cons
- Big, actually too big for me (i am quite petite)
- Cannot face backward. With a newborn, I think it's pretty necessary.
- The stroller might loose balance if we put too many things in the handle. This one is pretty crucial. I almost drop my baby a few times huhu thank God she's wearing the belt strap :'(

Bottom line, I kinda wish a different stroller.. But then I might found another issues too.. Haha

And oh, one tip, the stroller had a pretty boring color. You might want to buy a colorful seat liner :)

Gel Liner.. Revlon vs Maybelline

Ow o.. I'm in love with gel liner.. I am such a newbie if it comes to applying an eye liner.. But with gel liner, ow I could make wing liner.. Yay
Pencil liner, I think it's too chalky.. And liquid liner, ah too hard to use..
I've tried this 2 drugstore brand.

Tried the Revlon one first. Revlon colorstay creme gel eyeliner.. Super cheap, Rp 70k.. Great price, Great packaging, great price, great creme, great brush, easy to use.. Super great..


And for the Maybelline, the name is Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Liner.. Oh even the name is such a drama.. Haha..
Well it's not that cheap. Rp 100k.. So so packaging, the revlon one is more compact - the brush is actually intact with the liner place.. As in this maybelline, you need to hold soo many things when u used it.. The brush, the brush cap, the liner place.. Oh so many things to hold if u dont have tables near you..
And the maybelline brush is actually too soft.. And about the cream itself, the revlon one is creamier, so it's easier to use..

Bottom line, I like the Revlon one better.. Much better.. No fuss..

1st Public Pool

Kaira always swim at home, in her petite plastic pool.. never bring her to a public pool, since I always concerned about the water, the chlorine and such..
But this time, at the age of 10 months, I tried to set aside my concerns.. and viola! It was a blast.. haha..

We went to a public pool in a golf club.. Damai Indah Club.. It's in BSD.. again :) It was very clean, the pool is very big. And we got warm towel too.. sweet! and oh there's hot water in the shower too.. That is actually what I'm looking for. Since I need Kai to be showered with warm water after a cold swim..

I think this swimming pool is recommended for parents with babies :)
