Chinese New Year Feasting!

Braised Sea Cucumber and Mushrooms With Broccoli
January 24, 2023
I think I’m done with eating! It’s the 3rd day of the Lunar New Year celebrations and because day 1 fell on a Sunday we have an extra day off. So we’ve literally been having massive meals for the past 4 days (we start off the reunion dinner on the eve of Chinese New Year). … More Braised Sea Cucumber and Mushrooms With Broccoli
Furikake Cheese Crackers
January 18, 2023
The word for the season…breathless! Christmas is not even a month over and Chinese New Year is upon us already. Because Chinese New Year dates depend on the lunar calendar, once in a while CNY lands a little too early in January. It’s even more exciting if Hari Raya also ends up around the same … More Furikake Cheese Crackers
Everything But The Kitchen Sink Japanese Curry
January 4, 2023
I’ve been traveling. And one thing about getting older and more confident is that I’ve become more articulate about what I prefer to do on holiday and how we get to travel. I always thought that hubs was a thwarted secret tour guide and he used to take control of all our holidays and bookings, … More Everything But The Kitchen Sink Japanese Curry
Christmas Tree Spinach Pastry
December 18, 2022
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted…2022’s tail end slammed me with an unprecedented and slightly unanticipated busyness. With good things though…work projects, WIC breakthrough weekend…I’m so glad things are settling down and I have time to breathe again. Our festive season kicked off rather early this year as we took the last 2 … More Christmas Tree Spinach Pastry
Low Carb Build A Beef Bowl
October 3, 2022
So I haven’t quite shaken off my Build A Bowl obsession. So recently when someone suggested that I host a dinner meeting at my place I decided that it would be fun to do build a bowl for everyone especially since I had my nice new Williams and Sonoma rustic bowls to use. The only … More Low Carb Build A Beef Bowl
Low Carb Korean BBQ Beef Shortribs
October 1, 2022
The family adores Korean BBQ. Eating good quality beef BBQ is pretty pricey in Singapore and so we do table top grill BBQ once in a while. Of course the whole house smells like grilled meat after that, but I think it’s really worth it! The problem with eating Korean BBQ outside is that a … More Low Carb Korean BBQ Beef Shortribs
Baked Eggs in Zucchini Nests
September 24, 2022
We do odd things once in a while. Friend E brought back duck eggs from Thailand recently. Singapore usually does not have fresh duck eggs; most duck eggs available in Singapore are salted duck eggs which we often use as a salty bump of flavoring in vegetable dishes. Duck eggs have a more-ish, gamier flavor … More Baked Eggs in Zucchini Nests
Low Carb Fish Bowl
August 19, 2022
I couldn’t resist the title. But it’s not a post about a goldfish in a bowl but about a build-a-bowl obsession I’ve just acquired. I’ve been taking a long overdue break (yes, revenge traveling) in California and discovered that bowls are really a thing here. It’s not a very new concept but I fell in … More Low Carb Fish Bowl
Steamed Egg with Pork Mince
July 28, 2022
There are just some dishes that are so evocative of childhood. Growing up, whenever I was sick, I was fed Chinese rice porridge either on its own or in combination with simple, easily digestible dishes like steamed egg. I’ve always loved the warm silky texture of the egg and the feeling of a warm, full … More Steamed Egg with Pork Mince
