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
So I feel like a new person. After having weathered Covid-19 it’s nice to have energy back. I can’t imagine what it is to live with long Covid because the first few days of the illness I felt like a truck ran over me. But I was fortunate not to have fever and in fact … More Low Carb Fried Beef Noodles
The world is a strange place. The latest kerfuffle in Singapore is that Malaysia is stopping exports of fresh chicken. Given that Malaysia supplies 1/3 of Singapore’s fresh chickens, this has been a seismic upset in the local food scene. After all, Singapore’s iconic dish is Hainanese chicken rice…you need fresh chicken to make the … More Low Carb Chicken Tenders
So I’ve been on a nomadic marketing journey because my regular market in Whampoa is under renovation. The last time Whampoa market was closed it was under rather unfortunate circumstances as there was a Covid-19 cluster among the stall holders. I think the market was closed for 2-3 weeks only but I was already rather … More Miso Cod
