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
The family adores Korean BBQ. Eating good quality beef BBQ is pretty pricey in Singapore and so we do table top grill BBQ once in a while. Of course the whole house smells like grilled meat after that, but I think it’s really worth it! The problem with eating Korean BBQ outside is that a … More Low Carb Korean BBQ Beef Shortribs
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 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
Dad just celebrated his 84th birthday! It was a rather muted celebration because mum has Covid-19 and we couldn’t have visitors over. We ordered a special parents’ set lunch from Putien and he really enjoyed that. I’m thankful that he has an amazing appetite and really loves his food. He’s always been very adventurous food-wise, … More Low Carb Ipoh Hor Fun
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
