Been a long time since I used a slow cooker to cook tonic soup. Bought this ready packed chicken tonic spices from supermarket. Can get any brand.
Instructions on the back of the packet.
The different herbal spices. Rinse all the herbs except the bag of spices (looked like tea bag).
I used chicken breast (500 gm), removed the skin, washed and blanced them. Throw the water away and refilled with fresh water.
Add all the herbal spices.
Boiled them for a while and transfer to the slow cooker(See video)
Cooked on high for 3 hours or slow/auto for 5 to 6 hours.
Finally after 3 horus, my soup is cooked and the whole kitchen filled with nice herbal aroma.

Decided to braise pork spare ribs in the slow cooker.
Got some nice looking spare ribs from the wet market, about 500 gm of spare ribs.
Mixed with some minced onion, minced garlic and minced ginger.
Made a sauce or any BBQ sauce.
Marinated overnight.
Next morning, I just took the marinated spare ribs from the fridge and throw into the slow cooker. I placed some potatoes and carrots at the bottom of the slow cooker. Cooked on high for about 4 hours. After two hours, I opened the lid and turned the spare ribs over and continue to cook for another two hours (total 4 hours).
It was so yummy and easy to cook(the slow cooker do all the cooking), no messy kitchen.

During one of the weekend, hubby and me had lunch at Kopi Tiam Food Court Hougang Mall. Came across Steamed Gourmet and decided to eat steamed dishes for heathier choice.
Had their signature dish - Steamed sausages, chicken, mushroom set
Steamed Pork with salted fish but hardly felt any salted fish in the dish but instead got large chunks of the chestnut, wish they could minced the chestnut to smaller pieces (too chunky for senior citizen like us).
We added extra $2 to our total cost for this extra dish of steamed egg. ($1 for one person portion)
On the whole the meal were very tasty and filling for us. Good lunch.
Took these photos last month but did not have a chance to post them.
We had a family gathering with siblings and spouses. Decided to have some pizza for tea break at Pizza Express, they have large sitting area and able to cater to huge group.
Pizza Express was located at Scotts Square, Orchard Road.
I cant remember the names of the pizza cause they were ordered by my sister. I thought pizza normally comes in round shape, this rectangular pizza looked cute and tasted so good too. Was actually still quite full from lunch but was so tempted by the good looking pizza that I cant resist eating even though I was so full hahaha.
I had English Breakfast tea while the rest all ordered differently. (Did not take photos of their drinks.)
