My Fatty Dairy 我的肥胖日记

真的，我不是因为怀孕而肥胖，两胎到生产前也都只不过多了14kg,非常标准，应该说绝对可以瘦回到原本的体重。上海的生活多姿多彩，从一个连炒菜需要放盐都不知道的厨艺白痴，到今天烘焙，烹饪还可以开home party 请朋友来吃饭的主妇。还有认识了一班来自世界各地的朋友，大家一起聚会，又是吃。我很快乐，虽然牛仔裤从来穿不下，但是上海因为有冬天，基本上把自己的肚腩裹在厚厚的棉袄里就好了，拍照自拍还可以，以为脸型小，虽然快要有双下巴但是还勉强可以瞒天过海。就这样快乐的陶醉在吃喝玩乐中。一直到2016的12月，因为孩子念书的事，决定和孩子回到马来西亚继续学业。

马来西亚是个热带国家，一年四季热到汗流浃背。到处女孩们都短裤拖鞋，唯独我，坚持穿着塑胶腰围的长裤，还有孕妇牛仔裤。因为大腿粗大，害怕被看出来，还故意穿长过屁股的上衣，好让遮住肥大的屁股. 还有圆鼓鼓的肚腩更不用说，能尽量穿2件装，盖住肚腩最好不过。这样瞒天过海混了3个月，每天早餐享受着Penang好吃的小贩，卤面，福建虾面，Roti Canai, 油条配南洋咖啡，Nasi Lemak, 再不然去喝喝早茶，吃个港式点心再来个包。中午饭后偶尔在来下午茶，豆浆油条，煎香蕉糕，煎年糕夹芋头和番薯。我的天，那么多美食的引诱简直让我吃到无法无天。

好啦，以下的经典照片是我在脸书根本不可能po出来的，po的照片都尽量拍大头照，把庞大的体型和粗大的腿删减掉，呵呵。那时候的我60.5kg，最后痛定思痛，决定戒口不吃，然后努力做运动。

全职妈妈的我，6岁的女儿早上去上课，还有一个当时18个月大的儿子在家，由于没有人可以寄托，只好把儿子带上Zumba去一起运动去。想得美，以为儿子会好好跟妈咪，阿姨们一起跳舞哦，才怪！不是东搬西搬再来把全部的locker全部打开，瑜伽垫全部反转。可是为了坚持我还是一如往常的把儿子带去Zumba. 同时间我也不吃晚餐，尽量只吃孩子们剩下的晚餐，比如一些煮汤剩下的玉米，蔬菜，汤水。可是这样过了一个月，我有看到轻了1kg，是有很开心，可是挨饿不吃晚餐，经常到了晚上9点左右就开始受不了，有时候反而会偷吃一块面包，这样反反复复的1kg,又回来了，实在是懊恼。

在全职妈妈的群里，我无意间看到一个妈妈的照片。我就开始问，你是怎么瘦下来的，她只告诉我是喝一个豆粉。我只问问了一句，哪里的产品？因为我心里是非常抗拒中国制的食品，虽然我在上海生活了快5年。他回答说纽西兰(made in New Zealand),二话不说问了价格是真的很大众化，结果我马上托她给我买了。偷偷的开始喝了起来，就这样开始了我的第二个瘦身计划。
(待续....)

I was at 60.5kg compare to before I have my first baby I was 54kg. I was desperately want to become slim again because there are just too many friends, even my ex-primary teacher asked me during our visit to her house during CNY, are you having 3rd baby in you tummy. That's very embarrassing.
I try to go exercise, Zumba and skip my dinner of eat really light dinner, but still I manage to lost 1kg, but the 1kg is returning to me again after I eat my dinner again.  With 60.5kg, is kind of hard for me to move my body, don't even mention about jogging. That was so much suffer on the routine keeps losing 1kg, and the 1kg is coming back again. Until one day I saw a photo of a stay at home mum in my wechat group. Then I asked her, what you eat to become so much slim? She said is a soy fiber. The first concern in my mind was, is that made in CHINA? oh no, even I been staying at Shanghai for almost 5 years, I still cannot trust and China made food, especially healthy food or supplements. Her answer is New Zealand! Horray, I was so happy and quickly ask her to order for me. Here is how I start my 2nd slimming and diet plan!

Pandan Chiffon Cake 香兰戚风蛋糕

Pandan Chiffon cake is one of my favorite from my baking list. My daughter, husband and now including my 20 months old son also love this cake. In shanghai, we hardly find it in any bakery shop, like wise in Malaysia. There are expats from Singapore or Malaysia homemade pandan chiffon cake for order, a 80gm pandan chiffon cake can easily cost  RMB80(equals to RM50). Look at this ridicules price, I would rather make my own pandan chiffon cake at home. Pandan leaves is not common in Shanghai, usually we order the Pandan leaves in bulk (min 500gm) from Taobao, which I believe are from Guangzhou area. That's part of the reason make this cake so precious in Shanghai. Some people choose to use pandan essence, but that is never in my option. I am not good in making meringue (打发蛋白霜) by using Thermomix, thus I am still using the traditional mixer to do the mixture.

Ingredients:

Item A:

60gm Sugar 

5 eggs white

5cc lemon juice

Item B:

5 egg york,

30gm salad oil

20 gm sugar

Item B:

3. Egg yolk stir with sugar, add in pandan juice with water, oil, coconut powder, mix even.

4. Add in sieved cake flour.

Mixture:

5. Add 1/3 egg whites into item B, use spatula lightly stir even then pour into the remaining item A. 6. Mix evenly and pour the mixture into mold.

7. Hit the mold on table 3 times to remove the air.

8. Bake 160 degree for 10mins then turn to 150 degree 38 mins.

9. After bake, turn the mold upside down for cool down before remove from the mold.

Baked Cheese Cake with Thermomix

I love cheese cake, since I own a Thermomix, a cheese cake in the house became so easy. That's the main reason why I keep putting on weight, I can easily finished half of this cheese cake in a day. It's just too easy and yummy! In all my baking I try to avoid Vanilla extract, which I personally feel it doesn't make different in taste. I prefer natural ingredients and fragrance.

Ingredients:

Cake Base:

120gm unsalted butter (cut in to pieces)

250gm digestive biscuilts

30gm brown sugar

Filling:

750gm cheese (I used achor brand)

Penang Aquarium (Batu Maung) & Durian at Balik Pulau on Sunday

这个星期天，去了Balik Pulau打算进行榴莲寻宝. Balik Pulau 也称为浮罗，闻名的榴莲山，在这里沿着山路一直开会不断看到很多的档口摆卖自己的山里种的榴莲。可是这天，并没有我们想像中榴莲很多，反而最后选中了这一档口是马来人在贩卖说的是Pahang的榴莲，一公斤是RM25, 味道偏甜。虽然本人比较喜欢微苦的榴莲，但是这些味道和颜色还是相当吸引人。我就一口气吃掉了10几颗，小妞也绝对不弱人后，相对弟弟对榴莲没有丝毫的兴趣。

榴莲野餐之后，肚子胀鼓鼓的，就决定到附近的水族馆去看看。生活在槟城那么久竟然不知道槟城卧虎长龙有家水族馆, 名称为Akuarium Tunku Abdul Rahman。刚到达水族馆门口，小妞就表现的异常兴奋，非常期待和鲨鱼约会去，弟弟一如往常，根本就是没办法停下来的脚步。室内的展览确实没有什么惊喜，但是好在有不错的空调。因为是政府资助，不是商业化的旅游景点，所以入门票非常便宜：

• 小朋友RM2,
• 成人RM5,
• 乐龄人士免费。

看在入门票超级实惠的份上，我觉得这个地方真心不错。值得一提的是这里的海马很肥大又很多，也看到了NEMO鱼，小朋友的最爱。我到过了Langkawi的水族馆，也去过了上海长风公园水族馆无数次，就是没有见过那么多而且肥大的海马。走到了室内展览厅，有个大荧幕，类似电影院的椅子任观众坐下欣赏喂鱼表演。也许错过了表演时间表，大家只好坐在那里休息，观赏鱼儿和一只大海龟在大鱼缸里游来游去。

原本以为就这样结束了水族馆之旅，离开之前小妞一往如既的必须找洗手间去。结果发现原来在户外还有一大片供群众喂鱼，和海龟，乌龟还有各种鱼儿的近距离接触。购买喂食鱼儿的食材就RM1一大包，两个孩子，到处跑去喂鱼儿和乌龟，忙得不亦乐乎了。尤其是小妞，简直就是开心到不想离开。和海龟的近距离接触真的很特别，好多的海龟在泳池里游来游去，还可以手碰他们呢。但是海龟的牙齿还是比较尖锐的，带着小孩子的爸妈们还是必须留意不让小朋友们去触摸海龟比较合适。终结，绝对是一个溜小孩的好去处！

We was at Balik Pulau for Durian hunt. But surprised, there are not much Durian at this timing yet. Finally we stopped at a Malay stall which sells Durian from Pahang, with RM25/kg. The durians are quite sweet, I prefer durian with some bitter taste. But desperately I aet more than 10pcs durian, and my girl too. The boys seems like not interested on durian at all.
After tummy filled with durians, someone suggested to go Aquarium near by - Akuarium Tunku Abdul Rahman, which is located at Batu Maung.I never know Penang has an Aquarium! If I know this earlier, I shouldn't miss a chance to visit it! Well, I never have high expectation for Aqurium in Penang, in my imagination, it should be a small and old building but it impressed me! especially the admission fee is a mere RM2 for kids, RM5 for adults and is free for elderly.I had been to the aquarium at Langkawi, Shanghai Chang Feng Park, but I never see such big sea house. Highlights at Penang aquarium include the seahorse and sea turtles. Here has the biggest sea horse I ever seen! For such a small scale aquarium, it is very comprehensive and informative.

The outdoor exhibits are very interesting. The publics are allowed to purchase RM1 for a big packet of food for fish feeding. Of cause, both my kids was very excited, running here and there feeding the fishes, turtles, and touching the sea turtles! But it was quite dangerous for the kids to be too near to the sea turtles as they are quite huge and with teeth. I touches the sea turtles which swims nears to me, it was amazing! Conclusion, it is a very good place to hang out with family and kids!

Home mede Soy Drink 自制豆奶

制豆奶其实有好几个种方式，可以使用Thermomix, 豆浆机或者家里两种机器都没有的朋友可
以用blender打烂泡好的黄豆，再自己熬煮也可以哦。

以下blender打的豆水食谱是来自SDII地狱式减肥计划的魔鬼教练VIVIAN，我有豆水机和Thermomix,所以我没用过这个食谱，只供参考。
500g 黄豆浸水隔夜,有尿酸可以去皮洗干净。
放进打果汁器加水3 liter 打(可以分次)
打好放进干净的白布把汁挤出来,拿去煮到滚就可以了。。
一定要看火不停的搅拌。
带冷可以放进冰厨冷藏,五到六天。
建议买有机黄豆会比较香,普通豆会有腥味。

从怀孕第一个小孩开始我就为了给宝宝更好的营养，所以买了一台九阳豆浆机。当时还在中国上班的老公就给我抬了一架豆浆机回来。有了豆浆机其实很方便，一杯黄豆100gm加1300ml的水，按钮湿豆，25分钟后就有豆香味浓郁的豆水喝了。我比较喜欢使用有机黄豆混黑豆一起熬煮，这样黑豆黄豆水特别好喝，香浓到不行。这一台豆浆机我从怀孕第一台用到现在，都6年了，还是很行哦！

再来，就是使用thermomix 自作豆水，方法如下：
材料：
100gm有机黄豆/黑豆 （泡在水里隔夜/最少4小时）
1 liter 水
50gm 黄糖/白糖
3-4片香兰叶 (optional)

隔夜黄豆把水滤掉，加入400gm水进去主锅里1分钟/速度8
加入600gm水，糖和香兰叶，煮10分钟/90度/速度2
再煮沸2分钟/100度/速度2

好了，喜欢喝热的也可以等豆水凉了存储在冰箱可以保存2天。


Ingredients:
100g soya bean (I prefer organic black beans), soak overnight or min 4 hours
1 litre water
60g rock sugar, crushed
3 pandan leaves tie into a knot
Method:
Place drained beans and 400g of water into TM bowl and blend for 1 min / speed 8
Add the remaining 600g of water, sugar and pandan leaves and cook 10 min / 90°C / speed 2
Cook for a further 2 min / 100°C / speed 2
you may serve hot, or leave the soy drink cold and keep in fridge, can last for 2 days.

我是全挤/全瓶喂妈咪 I am a breastfeeding mother (exclusively pumping mother)

我是一个全挤哺乳妈妈。两个孩子我都坚持哺乳了1年。什么是全挤妈妈或者是全瓶喂？什么又是全亲喂？全瓶喂就就是把母乳全挤出来，在温热了用奶瓶喂宝宝。很多人会问，为什么你要全挤，不要亲喂，多方便有可以和宝宝有亲密的接触。

很多时候，事情就是不能与你想象那样完美。我的第一个宝宝是个女宝宝，完全就是不会吸奶，很多时候就是含着妈妈的乳头半个小时到一个小时，结果一离开又嚎啕大哭饿！另外再瓶喂就把全部的奶给喝完。很多时候我相信是宝宝的选择，当然当时还在上班的我，心想再过2个月也是得回到职场上，不能亲喂，不如就直接全挤算了。

以下是我总结全挤奶的利与弊：

利：

1.方便妈妈的时间表，固定的挤奶时间或按妈妈的安排。

2. 晚上宝宝不会依赖奶头来安抚，戒掉夜奶比较容易。

3. 宝宝可以方便交代家人或保姆代劳照顾，因为不用妈妈直接哺乳。

弊：

1. 挤奶器加上母乳保存瓶，一天下来要清洗最少4次挤奶器和各种喝完的母乳保存瓶子。

2. 妈妈出门也必须把挤奶器带上，遇见没有哺乳室的地方就比较麻烦了。

作为哺乳妈妈最重要的还是确保自己得到充足的营养，除了多吃鱼，蔬菜水果，适量的营养补充是不可抹的。因为宝宝喝的母乳都是从妈妈体内吃下去的食物而生产的母乳，宝宝直接从妈妈吃的食物取得营养。很多时候哺乳妈妈会遇到涨奶问题，胸部长硬块。这些常见问题可以尝试用热水放进宝宝的奶瓶里，尝试使用你肌肤可以接受的热度，来回在硬块上按摩，推开，让硬块溶解再用挤奶器挤出来。有些时候实在挤奶器挤不出来，可以尝试使用手指轻轻挤乳头附近的乳昏部位，会更加轻松的把奶挤出来。当然宝宝亲喂是最直接的办法哦！

以下是在槟城的一些乳房按摩师，专业可以指导您正确的方法，和一些管道可以帮助你更多了解哺乳的知识和寻求帮助关于哺乳的问题。

这些是我冷冻库的冷冻奶，当时因为要带女儿去日本旅行，只好把冷冻奶都带去保姆家，好让儿子可以继续得到母乳的喂食。一共离开6天这就是全挤妈妈的好处咯。呵呵！

I am an exclusive pumping mother. Exclusively pumping meaning that I pump out all my breast milk, but not direct feeding the baby. I breast feed both of my kids for 12 months. Some people asked me why I choose to be exclusive pump? because it is time consuming, each pump easily taken up 20 mins, and there are alots of tools to clean up, breast pump, breast milk storage bottles and feeding bottles. Being direct feeding, you just have to bring your boobs, that's it.

I was a working mother when I have my first child, being exclusive pump mother is easier as I put my baby to baby sitter and bring breast milk to her daily. there are always pro and cons for each choice.
Pro for exclusive pump:
1. pump schedule is fixed by mother, mother can pump milk anytime at her convenient.
2. baby doesn't rely on mothers nipple for comfort sleep, is easier to wean night milk.
3. can let nanny/ other family member help to take care the baby when mother is not available, especially working mum.

Cons for exclusive pump:
1. need a lots of cleaning job, cleans the pump, storage bottles and feeding bottles.
2. when travel, need to bring breast pump. if the place is not breast feeding friendly, no nursing  room, is very inconvenient.

全职妈妈 Stay At Home Mother (SAHM)

Stay At Home Mother (SAHM), 我就是其中一份子。5年前，因为老公的工作，所以果断离职，从此开始了我全职妈妈的旅程。距离以前自己设立网购时代purples-shop已经是12年前 （2002年），由香港代购开始开跑到台湾，一直到中国。为什么市香港代购？因为我有两个在澳门生活的哥哥，每次他们回来或我到澳门去旅行就会带了一堆新奇的东西回来，再网上卖。当时，网购一点也不流行，大家还是抱着试一试的心态，也对网卖者存有戒心。所以，12年前，网购者需要的就是诚信，货物要新颖，必须是国内马来西亚买不到的。当时的我卖得最红的是台湾的护肤品，尤其牛尔的产品。为什么台湾的产品特别好销售呢？台湾护肤品的卖点是价格很大众化，因为大家对于皮肤上使用的产品还是比较小心，中国制的虽然价格远远相对便宜但是终究被嫌弃。价格大众化的同时，只能薄利多销，所以当时我的生意量可是天天让我忙着打包包裹，回复客人的问题，点货，下单，忙到团团转。当时的我还单生，所以时间多的很。这样忙碌了5年，结婚后，再生下孩子，老公又因为工作外派，所以我就渐渐的把网购生意放下，跟随老公移居上海专心在家带女儿。这样过了3年又有了老二。现在女儿也快六岁了，儿子也快2岁啦！

从职场上卸下来，成为了家庭主妇，也是新手妈妈。刚开始真的很不习惯。加上上海天气寒冷，每天对着哭闹拉屎鼻涕的小妞，做不完的家务，实在难熬。菜场买菜，是我唯一可以出门的理由。完全不知道烧饭是怎么一回事的，却硬着头皮拿起锅把,给孩子老公炒菜来着.还记得炒菜里烧焦的到黑色的大蒜，没有加盐的菜。老公最后只是微微的说了一句，还是去买鸡精加下去吧，你煮的菜实在有点吃不下。最后也实在没有办法，只好请了一个保姆兼帮手。从那开始我的日子开始比较好过。现在的厨艺有一半是保姆教我的。猪肉要烧水姜水烫过才能下去熬汤。肉要加点钛白粉才会松软可口。稍微用大蒜，葱和姜腌制一下肉类可以去腥。这些基本的烹饪常识，也是那样渐渐的记在脑海里。就这样开始了我的烹饪日记，最后再延续到烘焙。事情就是那么奥妙，在恶劣的环境下你必须学会适应环境，环境是不可能因为你而改变的。认清了事实，只好现实中低头，适应环境去！
