My Indonesian maid has asked if I could buy her a tudung to use when she prays. I have no objections to getting one for her but need some advice - 1) Where to buy it from (shop name if possible) 2) Is it also called tudung or does it have a special name 3) How much should this cost 4) Is...

Thanks for the link Camom. Good to know of childcare facilities in the West. May be moving there later this year.

Hi SH74, thank you for taking the time to respond. I have since bought a car seat as well as got an Indonesian maid. Will look up the link you provided on the childcare centers.

1) Looking for toddler car seat - must be cotton (DD feels hot otherwise), between S$100-S$200. I'm inundated with choices when I go to the baby stores at Kaki Bukit. Also it seems that some of the sales people there are promoting items that they enjoy bigger commissions on. Is it value for...

Has anyone consulted a gynae for depression and weight management after delivering? Are gynaes able to help with these issues or is it better to consult a GP instead? My gynae is SF loh from KKH

You're most welcome Fctjones! Thanks for giving this recipe a shot. Yes do try with fruit - i have made them with bananas, blueberries, strawberries. Some kids (both big and small) might also enjoy them with chocolate chips/sprinkles (added to the batter) - it gives a good balance esp if you...

Yes went there a few years ago. Be warned it is wet, slippery and smelly - so dress appropriately. No stall to recommend as you will find that the prices are competitive. When I went, I bought prawns and fish. I didn't think that the prices were any much cheaper that what you get at the wet...

Yes, I used to have the same problem. Tried various recipes from books and internet but was never happy with the results. Try testing if the fault lies with your oven - so try a cake mix, as Dodo suggested. If that didn't turn out right, then you might want to have your oven checked. If...

If you don't want to cook fruit, try grating them instead, with a very fine grater. You retain some of the nutrition that would have been lost if cooked. Yes, fruit oxidises if not eaten quickly. A small amount of diluted lime juice or salted water will prevent the discolouration but there's...

I'm also interested to know what can be done to stop baby from sucking her thumb - rub something bitter on her thumb? BTW what's NOC?

Stonson, would you mind sharing where you can get cheap butter from?
