We brought a new pet into the house. Recently kid#2 and I went to Gardens By The Bay and after the walkabout, we could not resist going into the Gardens Shop. I absolutely adore plants and I’ve always dreamed of a herbarium on my balcony. The problem is that I was born with purple and … More Seafood salad
I don’t miss doing night calls. At this point of my life, working through the night would probably kill me. But night calls are part and parcel of a doctor’s life and they were probably what trained many of us in clinical judgment and decision-making as we had no choice but to make and stand … More Low Carb Chicken and Preserved Egg Congee
Kid #2 is a purist. She is completely unadventurous when it comes to food and it is a nightmare trying to get her to eat any greens besides broccoli, or anything with a smidgen of spice in it. But I have a stealth strategy that is to introduce tiny bits of spice or herbs … More Garlic Cauliflower Fried “Rice”
Last week one of my old secondary school teachers turned up at my clinic door. Mrs P was an unforgettable influence in my secondary school years.

Life is full of remakes. I remember growing up with the Hawaii Five-O theme running through my head with the iconic surfing scene. Watching old episodes now it is hard to sit through the stilted acting and the simplistic story lines; the current remake of the show is much edgier and fast moving. … More Low Carb Loco Moco
Ok I admit it. I haven’t gotten over my Korean food cravings yet. I’m embarrassed to say that I’m enamoured of all things Korean at the moment…and still unpacking all those cosmetics I splurged on in Seoul. But I kid you not, 1 week of using these facial products and I can see and … More Kimchi Jigae
I adore Korean food. Nothing beats the hearty, spicy soups and stews, the flavorful barbecue meats or even Korean fried chicken. I do draw the line at live seafood though…hubs just sent me a video of his meal. We had recently been to Korea for a couple of days and I came back earlier than … More Seafood Tofu Soup (Haemul Sundubu Jigae)
