Noodle dishes – Still Feeling Peckish

Almost Low Carb Mee Rebus

May 30, 2026

Not quite low carb local Malay noodle dish. A labor of love to please the husband! … More Almost Low Carb Mee Rebus

I’ve started to potter around the kitchen most days now. I haven’t ventured much out of the home besides doctors’ visits. But I tell myself that the kitchen forays are like rehabilitation sessions – reaching up to get an out of reach bowl increases my shoulder range of movement and bending down to pick up … More Easy Fish Noodle Soup

Low Carb Fried Beef Noodles

July 15, 2022

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

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

Handmade Fish Ball and Pork Mince Noodle Soup

March 4, 2022

We’ve been having some fun in the kitchen. A couple of weeks ago helper D caught Covid-19 and it was a bit of a tough period having her in isolation so that she didn’t pass the virus to the oldies at home. During that time cooking was very functional and I didn’t have time to … More Handmade Fish Ball and Pork Mince Noodle Soup

Low Carb Japanese Beef Stew

November 6, 2021

What do you always have at hand in your freezer? I confess that my fridge/freezer suffers from severe overcrowding but we do clear out all the frozen stuff once in a while. But one thing I usually have handy are thin beef sliced – shabu beef that often ends up in steamboat or hotpot because … More Low Carb Japanese Beef Stew

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

Seafood Mee Goreng

August 28, 2021

I am on a mission. I think I’ve been a really permissive parent and I’ve allowed my kids to grow up with very firm food preferences. I’ve spent many years navigating their food preferences, often cooking more than one dish just to accommodate their wishes. Kid#1 doesn’t eat seafood and kid#2 doesn’t like spicy food. … More Seafood Mee Goreng

Low Carb Birthday Noodles

June 14, 2021

Today I celebrate my dad’s birthday. He’s 83 – a good age for a relatively healthy man. I’m grateful he’s still with me, although in my heart of hearts I grieve a little as I see the relentless progress of aging in his slower and less stable walking and his quieter demeanour over time. Still … More Low Carb Birthday Noodles
