The wonderful thing about living in Singapore is that you grow up with a crazy medley of all kinds of street food – think of Chinatown, little India and Malay kampung celebrations all rolled into one. You have an unerring instinct to tell the best pratha, nasi lemak or wonton noodles. The tastes are deeply … More Sambal Goreng
Spice is what we live for in South East Asia. Even when I go on family holidays I am equipped with curry or chilli powder/pastes. And someone will end up buying a large bottle of chilli crisp or hard core sambal along the way. It is gratifying now that the kids are older and they … More Spicy Korean Mushrooms
I haven’t been writing for a while. It’s been a truly busy season – no excuses – but gone are the days that I could post a recipe a week. But this month was a month I wanted to put down a milestone marker to celebrate my 10th diaversary…or diabetic anniversary. It was 10 years … More Asian Beef Mince Bowl
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
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
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
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
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 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
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
