TCE Baby Expo 2017: Baby Fair berbaloi ke?

Assalamualaikum..

Last month macam biasa; since tahu pregnant, we went to TCE Baby Expo at Mid Valley. Held few times a year, TCE can be considered a great place to find baby's stuffs with great bargain. Senang kata memang berbaloi la kalau pandai cari barang.

So macam mana nak jadikan pembelian kami berbaloi? These what we did every time we go to any baby expo.

Things to Do BEFORE

1. Browse through the baby expo website/fb/instagram untuk tengok baby stuffs yang akan promo/dijual murah on the event day.
2. Screen shot/take note baby stuffs yang berminat nak beli.
3. Google/pergi kedai for the price of those baby stuffs and compare harga original dengan harga promo baby expo tu.
4. Kalau betul memang murah, keep that screen shot and boleh start sediakan duit.. haha

  

TCE kali ini interested on these stuffs so screen shots and compared. ClevaMama memang murah bila compare di Toys R Us dalam RM5 to RM7  per item. Summer Infant Chair tu Google je dah tau murah dalam RM50.

On the DAY

1. Always datang awal, dalam 9 a.m at least (Expo starts at 10 a.m) kena dah ada di Mid Valley untuk cari parking. Kalau lambat sure jenuh nak parking and kat luar Mid Valley pun dah jam.
2. Kalau banyak barang berat nak beli, bring a luggage would help.
3. Ambil map dan katalog Star Buy, cari booth yang jual baby stuffs kami nak beli. TCE Baby Expo is huge! Good thing is diorg sediakan map along with name and number of the booth serta gambar Star Buy (baby stuffs serious murah). 
4. Masuk terus pergi ke booth yang kami aim, sebab sometimes barang tu limited to few units a day je and if lambat memang habis lah.
5. Settle beli semua barang yang nak, baru pergi beratur untuk dapatkan door gift, free gift and nombor cabutan bertuah.

Booth Tolly Joy selalu ramai sangat crowd because most of their items are way cheaper than normal price dan especially for expecting mommies sure suka baju newborn yang sweet sangat. Mitten and booties berbaloi beli as they are too cute!

Too many things to look at and buy, semua pun nampak murah! So kalau takut 'tersasar' dari jalannya make sure lah buat list. Luckily sejak ada Aarfan ni susah sikit nak berjalan lama-lama kt tempat yang sesak so no chance for me to tersasar huu.

Kebetulan semua barang Aarfan yang nak beli dari kedai yang sama which is the Tommee Tippee booth tapi every time nak masuk booth ni kena beratur panjang. 

We bought all of the above along with this sippie cup dan malam tu jugak Aarfan selamat merasmikan seat makan baru yeay!

That's all for now, Aarfan tengah busy nak menaip juga ni haha. Till then, tata from ibu and Aarfan!

Homemade Broccoli Puree untuk Aarfan: Bayi 6-8 bulan

Bismillah..

Mencari masa untuk blogging after having a baby is super hard, at least for me (padahal time sesorang pun dah cukup malas nak blogging haha). Especially sebab Aarfan nap most of the time kurang dari sejam. Being a stay-at-home-mom pun susah apatah lagi for working mom, so.. salute to them!

Anyway hari ini would love to share one of favourite puree Aarfan; broccoli puree. Did some readings dan katanya kalau kita bagi sayur-sayuran as first solid food, any puree without added sugar or salt, inshaAllah later on Aarfan tak memilih nak makan sayur.

So here it goes..

Bahan-bahan

Broccoli segar

Steamer (I don't have baby food processor)

Normal blender 

Bekas isi puree yg dah siap

Cara-cara

1. Make sure basuh dulu broccoli dengan vegetable wash. Rendam for few minutes dan kemudian bilas bersih.

2. Potong broccoli kecil-kecil lebih kurang macam ni so that cepat masak dan meminimumkan nutrient lost.

3. Steamkan few minutes; tak sure precisely how many minutes so I kept on cucuk dengan garfu untuk rasa dah lembut ke belum. Kalau overcooked, habis la nutrient nya and how to know? overcooked akan buat colour puree not so green anymore.

4. Lastly blend kan. Kalau guna normal blender, tambah la air rebusan tadi sikit-sikit. Jangan terlampau banyak kalau tak nanti tak pekat puree tu. So inilah hasilnya, broccoli puree.. tadaaaahh!

So very simple steps je kan. For working moms, ambil masa less than sejam je time weekend to prepare this. It is better to make our own puree sebab tau exactly bahan apa dalam puree tu which is definitely healthier for our babies.

Homemade puree like this can tahan for about a month in a freezer tapi tak sampai sebulan for sure habis punya. Well selamat mencuba daripada ibu & Aarfan.
