I realize I keep saying it’s been a while since I’ve posted and the excuse has always been that I’ve been busy. Well I do have a more legit reason for the several month long hiatus. A cancer diagnosis in January, an 18 hour surgery, 4 cycles of chemotherapy and 15 days of radiotherapy put … More Shanghai Cauliflower Fried Rice
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
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
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
The weather has been unseasonably wet. On Friday helper D and I got soppingly drenched in the rain despite umbrellas as we navigated the long route from the carpark to the wet market. The recent policy to cordon off wet markets has meant that the entrance to my usual market is now inconveniently far away … More Premium Cantonese Cauliflower Congee
Do you hear the thunder? Thunder Tea Rice (擂茶饭）is a traditional Hakka vegetarian dish that is distinctive and addictive. The Hakkas were a culturally distinct racial group of northern Chinese Han stock that migrated to Southern China and formed a significant proportion of overseas Chinese migrants. Because they came later into established regions they were … More Thunder Tea Cauliflower Rice
I love cooking in themes. I think because of the Covid19 pandemic, I have been deliberately cooking food from around the world, to bring a sense of wonder in the mundane goldfish bowl life we seem to be living in safe Singapore. So tonight, simply because I had 4 overripe avocados, I built dinner around … More Mexican Dirty Cauliflower Rice
How many varieties of cauliflower rice are there? Truth is…the varieties are endless. Given that rice is the staple food of more than half the world, it’s no wonder that most people can’t imagine eating a meal without rice. In fact one of the biggest obstacles for newly diagnosed diabetics is getting used to cutting … More Low Carb Nasi Kuning
This week was rough. I was felled by a horrendous bout of food poisoning and the suspect food was homemade kimchi. This was a cautionary tale about doing home fermentation – obviously we grew E. coli rather than benign bacterial species. So anyway the tummy has been rather tender over the past week and no … More Teochew Scallop Porridge
Ok I admit it. I get my kicks now from going to supermarkets. Truth is I’ve always loved supermarkets but now it’s become the highlight of the week. I do a weekly grocery run at the wet market and NTUC, but a couple of days ago I decided to visit Don Don Donki. I actually … More Low Carb Sushi Roll
