PowerMix Silent Blender EBR5050 (Electrolux)

Household appliances will get spoiled together almost the same time, as if they contracted virus -__-  I had tried to "tahan" my microwave oven for one two years already, but it's getting dangerous to use as I realised the temperature gets abnormally high during grilling.  Another electric fan had also pronounce dead about a month ago.  My hubby will actually try his best to ignore all these till I nagged and dragged him out.

We decided that Gain City at Changi City Point shall be the lucky outlet.

OOTD on a Saturday ^^

White sleevelss blouse - hand down my girlfriend

Denim shorts - KateLove

Denim bag - Naraya (BKK)

Tattoo stockings - Taobao (review here)

Red wedges - Payless ShoeSource

Huge damage, but not absorbed by me, heng arh *patz chest*.

However annoying my hubby can be, I will put up with him cos' he's the pay master.  He is very easy to coax - glance at him with pitiful puppy eyes, pout my mouth, swing his arm gently left to right, right to left, say "PLEASE...." with the sweetest tone I can manage, act super 小鸟依人, he will fall into my spell and literally buy anything I request, waaaahaaaahaaaa............  Try it on your hubby/boyfriend, but please don't come running after me if it doesn't work >.<

If my "witchcraft" doesn't work, I'll show him this face ~~

Ok, sorry....  this is really ugly, please don't do it lolxx....

Oh, and yes, we used our SAFRA vouchers too!  Had used up $50 at Giant Supermarket and remaining $50 at Gain City.  SAFRA vouchers are the best vouchers we ever had seriously.  Every NS man is legible ok, if you haven't register for the vouchers, please read about it here.

There's nothing to talk about for a electric fan; for the SHARP water oven, will blog a review after I attend the complementary cooking class.  So now let's talk about the blender ^^

S$139.00

Comes with a small blender for condiments like chilli, garlic, nuts whatever.

Comes with a sift which is detachable.

And also you can see it's 3 pin socket.

1500ml volumn

Glass container almost 1 cm thick and very heavy.

According to the salesman it's more durable and absolutely suitable for ice blending, which was the main reason of this purchase.

The bottom has got 3 suction pads so the the machine won't wobble or shift while blending.  In fact the blender is tightly suck onto the kitchen top.  Needs to lift it off with a pop sound to remove it from the table, lolxx....

Our 1st attempt was - Banana Milk Shake

The blended can be operated in 2 modes - manual or auto with timer.

Manual -turn the knob to "pause" and press on the knob.

Auto - turn the knob to the time required.

Although it's called PowerMix Silent, it's not totally silent during blending of course.

But noise level is consider very low as I couldn't hear it at all when I walked out of the kitchen.

Success!  (after adding some sugar)

Wash was quite easy, twist the backside.........

The blades are out.

2nd attempt - Apple & Carrot juice

The carrots were so fat and pretty, bought from NTUC X-tra.

I merrily dumped in everything, totally forgotten to put in the sift.

But if I had put in the sift, I probably can't put in so many pieces of fruits to blend at one go.

I suppose using a separate sift is much easier.

Add in some lemon juice, my perfect DIY detox juice.

Hope to be able to blog more on fruit juices next time!

Low Fat Meal with Philips Airfryer

I am currently very busy in my nail salon due to coming Chinese New Year.

Not going to abandon my blog, I had prepared this post a couple of weeks ago......

This was my last year's Christmas present from my kid sister.

No fancyful wrapping but who cares!

Here's me hugging Philips Airfryer.

I know what you all are looking at.......
I am not bottomless, I got wear shorts hor  -.-

So, back to Philips Airfry, it uses Rapid Air Technology.
Fries, fried snacks or dishes can be prepared using very little oil.
Maintaining a healthy diet doesn't mean we have to deprive ourselves from tasty food.
My principle of life - LIVE TO EAT!

To express my thanks to my kid sis for this expensive wonderful gift,
I hosted an Airfryer Feast for my family members!

This Philips Airfryer came with 2 recipe books, one of which contains low-fat recipes.

These were the dishes I prepared from it~~

Crispy Fish Paste Wraps (225.5 cal)

Fish paste wrapped with bean curd sheets

Brush with 1 teaspoon of garlic oil and the airfry for 12mins.

Hubby had put too much fish paste in the wraps, so they looked kinda bloated.
But they were crispy and the taste wasn't bad!

Spicy Wings (154 cal)

I marinated 2 pots of wings, spicy for the adults and non-spicy for my little niece and nephew.

Used Lea & Perrin sauce, honey and chilli flakes.

This took quite a while as the basket of the airfryer can only contain max of 6 wings.

The airfrying time was about 15mins.  No oil was added.

The wings turned out like BBQ wings instead of fried chicken wings.

The wings were tender and juicy.

We were quite impressed how airfrying can cook retaining moisture of meat.

Salted 5-spice Prawns (93 cal)

This was quick, cooking time around 6 mins with a teaspoon of oil.

5-spice powder was the main seasoning, YUMMY!!

I don't think I can share the recipes here due to copyright regulations.  Anyway the recipe won't work without Philips Airfryer I suppose.

For cleansing, I wiped the interior and exterior of the airfryer with damp cloth.  Obviously electrical parts cannot be submerge in water.  I soaked the wired basket with the black tray in hot water.  The basket wired needs a bit of brushing while the tray was easily cleansed with mild soap.  I consider the cleaning quite minimal as the kitchen wall and floor were clean without oil!

Other side dishes that I whipped up ~

Croissants with egg mayonnaise.  My niece and nephew, plus my 2 boys "cleared" them all.

Mixed fruit bowl of rock melon, strawberries and dragon fruit.

I had prepared salad with black pepper smoked duck too, but forgotten to take pic.

Love this Philips Airfryer with temperature control and timer, pretty easy to use.  Hope to whip up more dishes with this purple babe.

However, it can't replace a microwave oven as I always need to heat up dishes.  I am still hunting for a new microwave oven.  My existing one is in "semi-retire" condition.  The grilling and conventional oven spoil already, the light bulbs had fused off since one two years ago.  Anybody with good recommendation, please let me know ^.^

Thank you!
