Milo Cereal


I have a new craze that I recently discovered - Milo Cereal. I have never really eaten it until yesterday and the first bite made me fall in love. Yes that's a kitchen weighing scale in the background because I am currently on a strict diet and want to make sure that I don't overeat my allowed portions. My weightloss trick is really to control portion sizes and eat more frequently throughout the day. Eat everything, but in moderation. 

So back to why I love this Milo Cereal - tastes just like milo and the best part of it all, the milk starts to taste like ice cold milo after soaking the cereal in it. It's like I can get the best of both worlds, the milo crunch and the milo drink together. Absolutely heavenly. 

Calories aren't too bad either - 30g (1 portion of cereal) + 125ml of skim milk is only 160 calories in total. Great for breakfast and low calorie mid day snacks.

One pack that has about 6 portions goes for only $3.50 tops. ;) 

Yes, this is my latest craze.

Broccoli Soup with Curried Yogurt Topping

Made this for dinner :)
Broccoli soup thickened naturally by puree-ing the broccoli florets. Yummy and guilt free indulgence.

Check out the recipe here.

Mei Goreng @ Mercure Hotel Batam

Ordered the Mee Goreng (spelt Mei Goreng on their menu) at the Grand Mercure Hotel Batam's Casaluna cafe for dinner. We decided to stay in the hotel for the evening as we were too lazy go cab up to Nagoya Hills mall which was supposedly 5 mins away and costs S$5 to get there. The Mee Goreng was actually pretty good. It cost us around (S$6 after conversion). Generous with toppings, sauce was sweet and savoury but not overwhelming. Pretty much a good dish to order there.
