Daddy was in high mood when he decides to make "bee gou" for Baby D on Saturday afternoon. For those, who don't know what is "bee gou", allow me to do some explanation for you.
Sources from MIL... "bee gou" pronounce in teochew means glutinous rice (i think those in dark red colour) mixed with other nutrition herbs and grin it to very fine powder form. It's to be mixed with warm water and drink direct from milk bottle or to cook it over small fire till it became sticky form (like paste) and be fed. It comes in a big packet of $12/-, got it from a medical hall at Bt Batok East Ave 2 (recommended by Fanny's MIL). It has a very fragrant "rice" smell and lots of babies love it and would ask for MORE... Baby D is one of them.
As per the aunty from the medical hall, they hand-made this packet using their secret receipt passed down from generations. "bee gou" can be eaten on it own or to mixed with carrot, spinach, potato etc.
Do take note that "gee gou" is a very heaty food though very high nutritional value, remember to give our little babies enough water or fruit prune to ease their poo poo system, I gave papaya to baby D for his dessert + jap sweet potato for snack...yummy!
Baby D with his gu-gu...
