Good news on a Monday from me again! 
This time NTUC U Family is giving away TWO Mega Dance tickets* (each ticket worth $30) to the event!
Each ticket admits a total of five people (of any adult/children combination).

Are you ready to groove to the latest Dance, R&B, Hip Hop and Pop music with your kids?

It doesn’t matter that you can’t dance. Let me tell you a secret…. shhh… I can’t dance either. 

But I’m going to get some family night fun anyway! There’s no prerequisite that you need to prove that you can dance or even that you need to be able to do the Gangnam style to get past the entrance.

Still thinking about your two left feet? Don’t worry! There will be friendly professional instructors who will guide you through simple and yet enjoyable steps, choreographed to the music. I’m not sure about how this would be like, though I’m thinking we may just re-live our young moments doing mass dance in school during orientation! 😛

The event details: 

Date:  24 November 2012, Saturday
Time: 7.00pm to 10.00pm (Registration & pre-event activities start at 6pm) 
Venue: The Coliseum™, Hard Rock Hotel® Singapore
            Level 2, 8 Sentosa Gateway

Easy Chicken Stew Recipe

Posted on October 19, 2012 by Angeline

This post is a week late! Sorry to those who have been requested and have been waiting so patiently for this recipe! 🙂

I hope you like it as much as my family does!

P.S. The chicken stock base is awesome and the best part is that there’s probably enough to store some for quick fixes for lunch or the kids’ food!

Chicken Stew
Author: 
 
Ingredients
  • 2 packets of chicken fillet (I bought mine from NTUC) - remove the tendons and cut into bite sizes
  • 3 large potatoes, peel and cut into chunks
  • 2 carrots, peel and cut into chunks
  • 3 sticks of celery, remove the fibers and slice
  • 1 pack of white button mushrooms, remove stalk, clean and slice
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2-3 small chicken carcasses
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, wash and leave peel on
  • plain flour or cornflour
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 litre water
Marinade for chicken (quantity is estimated only, go with your instincts):
  • 2 tablespoons chicken marinade
  • a few dashes of black pepper
  • a few dashes of garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • dash of sesame oil
Instructions
  1. Place the chicken carcasses in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Remove the chicken carcasses and place them in a soup bag together with the garlic cloves.
  2. Place the soup bag into a slow cooker together with the potatoes, carrots, celery, bay leaves and water. Cook on high for 3-4 hours. Do the following steps only after this stock is done.
  3. Add butter to a pot and melt it. Add diced onions and sweat them.
  4. Add the mushrooms when the onions have softened more or less. If you need to, add just a little stock to prevent the mushrooms and onions from burning.
  5. Add the chicken fillet and stirfry with the mushrooms and onion for a minute.
  6. Add the potatoes, carrots and celery from the slow cooker into the pot and pour in just enough chicken stock to cover the ingredients. Store the rest of the stock for future use.
  7. Bring to a boil then simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes.
  8. Add flour to thicken the consistency of the gravy if necessary and add more seasoning if it's not salty enough.
  9. Serve with crusty bread or rice.
Notes
You may substitute the butter with oil but it will affect the taste of the stew.

I hope you’ll try out this easy chicken stew recipe! Hmm, maybe it isn’t all that simple, but it will be definitely worth the effort!
