A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
When Cass had a bad bout of productive cough recently, it never crossed my mind to feed her with King To Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa – the most trusted brand of cough syrup used by many for decades. King To Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa is so popular that it is even listed in…
After 3 weeks of flu and a productive cough (with thick greenish phlegm) WITHOUT feeding her with any medication, my 4YO baby girl is A-OK now! Good thing I did not listen to my hubs to bring her to the paed’s clinic. I am pro anti-antibiotics and anti-cough meds for my kids and for myself….
Today is the start of the 2-week long school holidays and I have been starting to feel my headache coming since early this week! While some of my friends started to get excited and were switched into holiday mode a few days before the mid school term ended, I am feeling stressed actually. Our getaway…
If there is such a thing as healthy junk food snacks that give you the same addictive kick as the really unhealthy ones, I think I have found yet another one! Check out Blue Diamond’s All Natural Nacho chips made from brown rice and almonds. They are wheat and gluten free and are less fattening…
Here’s one of our typical dinners whipped up by the mil. Nothing fancy and elaborate but I love them all. Nothing beats homecooked food, cooked with good quality cooking oil, vegetables that are thoroughly cleaned and dishes cooked with love.

I think she got some of the quirky snack…
Last night I got a scare from my 4-year old baby girl. At about 8pm, while almost finishing her dinner, all of a sudden she complained of ear pain. We thought that it was just a lame excuse from her so that she could avoid finishing the remaining rice and veggie. But she cried (which…
My 4-year old has an appetite bigger than her tummy can possibly hold. She eats more than me I kid you not. She can also eat more than her 2 sisters. Here, she had just finished a bowl of fried vermicelli. But she told me that she still felt hungry!! So I made her a…
Almost everyone in the house is down with a very bad productive cough and runny nose. My mil and Cassandra are the hardest hit with Alycia and Sherilyn recovering slowly but steadily. Cassandra has been having a productive cough and runny nose for almost 2 weeks now. She had almost recovered from the flu but…
I am a nutty mummy. I love anything that has coconut in it. Whether it is plain coconut water, coconut milk, coconut flesh or grated coconut meat, I am game for it! The other day I bought a packet of grated coconut meat to go with steamed lin goe. As it was a big packet,…
