Secret Recipe Roasted Pumpkin Soup
February 17, 2025
It’s been a really long hiatus from blogging. Busyness caught up with me and I thought I had no more time to be self indulgent and I abandoned my previous aim to blog every week or fortnight. But life has caught up with me and because of a recent serious diagnosis and surgery I’ve been … More Secret Recipe Roasted Pumpkin Soup
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
Salmon Head Zoodle Soup
May 7, 2022
I love random stuff in supermarkets. It was marketing day – I usually go to the wet market as well as a supermarket every Friday – it’s once a week massive grocery shopping that provides enough fodder for the week. D and I have a drill – she picks up all the ingredients needed for … More Salmon Head Zoodle Soup
Spinach and Meatball Noodle Soup
April 22, 2022
There’s a bit of a new fad in town. In case you didn’t notice it, the 板面 (handmade noodle) stalls have started selling spinach and pork soup. Most times if I do eat at food courts and hawker centers I will choose a fish soup without noodles to keep things low carb, but the spinach … More Spinach and Meatball Noodle Soup
Singapore Chicken Curry
February 9, 2022
There was a kerfuffle this week in Singapore that was triggered off by a NYTcooking video of someone purportedly cooking “Singapore Curry”. Netizens were up in arms because the recipe added odd ingredients like lime juice and pandan leaves and the gravy was a lackluster watery effort. Turns out it was an ill-conceived effort of … More Singapore Chicken Curry
Instant Pot Short Rib Beef Soup
December 5, 2021
It’s nearing the end of the year and the weather has turned slightly drippy. It is said that Singapore’s seasons progress from hot to hotter to hottest. And some say the seasons progress from hot to hotter to durian season! But the end of the year has a special rhythm to it. Schools out and … More Instant Pot Short Rib Beef Soup
Pork Meatball and Wintermelon Noodle Soup
October 23, 2021
The weather has been turning a little bit more wet and stormy, as expected near the end of the year with the onset of the monsoon season. I’ve been enjoying a little more time indoors thanks to the weather as well as the continued burgeoning number of cases of Covid-19 in the community. It’s not … More Pork Meatball and Wintermelon Noodle Soup
Premium Cantonese Cauliflower Congee
August 22, 2021
The weather has been unseasonably wet. On Friday helper D and I got soppingly drenched in the rain despite umbrellas as we navigated the long route from the carpark to the wet market. The recent policy to cordon off wet markets has meant that the entrance to my usual market is now inconveniently far away … More Premium Cantonese Cauliflower Congee
