COCONUT JAGGERY GREEN PEA RICE SNACK

 

I am yet under spell of yesterday's adventure! I visited Coney Island @ Punggol last afternoon, clicked, walked about 5km alongside sea, went inside island, in a total did 8.4km! I do trust the safety standard of this island. I enjoyed being there. Walking is low intensity workout that may not help losing weight that much, specially if you are my kind of walker. I would just pause, click, get lost in thoughts, I can't remember what I was thinking about last night, why I allow everything inside my head! I can live without them, yet invite. Once I come to senses, I see people suspiciously staring at me, why not if they see one lady standing with blank eyes, smiling or talking to herself. I indeed feel shy, flee that place!

I wish to make a reel with the clicks done, over weekend or next week. Yesterday evening I did not feel like at all, I don't have such agenda, I have to share a post daily, I have to do this, that. Because I didn't go viral, I don't have such compulsions. I wanted to but! I do things as per will. Mind it, people with such laid back nature don't reach heights! In the present day scenario my kinds ain't required! At times, I feel I wouldn't have made a good teacher if I continued teaching! Arranging cultural events, debates are not my thing; I have noticed I only enjoyed classroom activities, if entrusted with taking kids out to visit places. I am not a confident self but thinking of each of my mentors, colleagues having trust on me brings tears to my eyes. I wouldn't let my child go berserk with his career ever! 

How I dislike my useless self, I didn't wish to be in the "sit at home" league! On top of it, what I chose to eat at Punggol Coast Mall isn't congenial to my digestive system. My stomach does not approve of cold cut meats, boiled eggs; that bun had good amount of smoked chicken inside! I am bearing the burnt today. That cannot stop me from writing a blogpost, I must wish my readers on New Year's Eve, I also see there is birthday celebration in family circle. How to manage time is a question, we would go out at night to see fireworks with friends, dine, wish to get tipsy, to visit RKM early morning tomorrow! I need to go for a 4-5km walk before heading to eat in restaurant! The menu is not exciting me, it's an Indian restaurant, I know to cook the dishes they decided to order. For us, to be with friends, chat, take vibes of Boat Quay area is more important! 

This little pride I take, I cook well. Surprisingly the man too takes, that man who never takes me seriously! My cousin in Cleveland, Ohio told few years back that son told he misses mumma's cooking! Why does it feel he doesn't need me anymore? Mumma cooks something of his choice, something new, her eyes get wet! But this is trivial, what is most important is him getting successful in life, to stay safe wherever he is! Mumma cooked this vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, salted, sweet COCONUT JAGGERY GREEN PEA RICE SNACK! I love kueh. When we leave Singapore, I would miss kueh varieties, some of which resemble our Pitha varieties! It's one hassle-free snack done with few ingredients!

I loved having it, man and Cristine ate. They wouldn't have had if they didn't like its taste! Some other recipes from Blog are STEAMED TAPIOCA CAKE, EASY STEAMED CHICKEN, DUDH CHITOI PITHA
