Lettuce Egg Cups were the last thing I cooked for dad before he passed on. Of course he couldn’t eat the butterhead lettuce leaves but the eggs were soft and easy to swallow. I think it was one day in the week before he passed that I was stricken in an aisle in NTUC FairPrice … More Lettuce Egg Cups
It’s rolled around to that time of the year again…Chinese New Year! Unlike last year, the lunar calendar has designated the holiday to fall in February which fortunately gives us a good breather after Christmas. I must say that I had a very busy but satisfying January and after finishing several new work and church … More The “Perfect” Pineapple Tart
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
I have two crabby gangs…no it’s nothing to do with the mood or demeanor of these ladies, it’s the fact that we all adore eating crab. Crab is one thing hubs and I don’t see eye to eye on – he is ever so obliging and will happily bring me to eat crab but he … More Crab Omelette Lettuce Cups
I’ve a friend with a huge predilection for expensive cheeses. She is the sweetest soul and frequently drops off several rounds of artisanal cheeses every other week. But truth is that I’m a plebeian at heart and I tend to go for milder cheeses. I feed a family of 7 people and so the Asian … More Baked Garlic and Bacon Brie
So we’ve been having an exciting time in the house! We fostered a dog for a few days, managed to find the dog a new loving home, and celebrated a bunch of birthdays too! So it’s been a busy time and I’m so happy that things have equilibrated a little for now. Lola the Cavoodle … More Tofu Fish Cake
Tis the season again! It’s less than a month away from Chinese New Year and the supermarkets are filled with sweet and savory snacks and cheesy piped-in music. This year’s celebration will prove to be much different from last year’s because the Covid19 infection hadn’t quite blown up then. Last year there were rumours of … More Lowish Carb Pineapple Tarts
Happy New Year everyone! This past 2020 has been such a tough year it’s no wonder everyone is raring to move on to 2021. The Covid19 pandemic is nowhere near being over yet, but I think simply because we know what we are grappling now, versus the train of unpleasant surprises in 2020, we feel … More Spinach Twister Pastry
Since the onset of the Covid19 pandemic, I’ve had plenty of reasons to be thankful to be living in Singapore. The most obvious of course is that besides the outbreak in the migrant worker dormitories, the community situation has remained controlled which allows us to move around relatively freely. The second of course is that … More Low Carb Murtabak
Ok I admit it. I get my kicks now from going to supermarkets. Truth is I’ve always loved supermarkets but now it’s become the highlight of the week. I do a weekly grocery run at the wet market and NTUC, but a couple of days ago I decided to visit Don Don Donki. I actually … More Low Carb Sushi Roll
