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
So Singapore announced a partial lockdown for Tuesday. What completely confused me was the number of people who went out and congregated in advance of the lockdown! I saw people posting their “last” favorite meals, and inexplicably there was a snaking queue outside IKEA. What furniture you need for a lockdown I have seriously no … More Homemade Bento Bowl
Family holidays are usually somewhat catered to my need to cook and potter around the kitchen as part of my destress routine. We’ve been traveling in Hiroshima, which is a prefecture more well known for the devastation wreaked by the world’s first A bomb. Why we ended up here was serendipitous – kid#1 had been … More Beef and Okra Cauliflower Rice
I just had a brainwave today. I bought some inari on one of my forays to little groceries in search of low carb options. Inari sushi is a lovely sushi item that is a sushi rice filled fried tofu pocket. It can be served with plain sushi rice (my kids used to love this) or … More Low Carb Inari
I’m a really simple person and I’m easily pleased. Nothing fills my emotional tank more than the opportunity to potter around a kitchen (any kitchen!) and prepare hot meals. I’ve been travelling quite a bit and I do get a kick cooking in under-equipped kitchens in different countries. I do come extremely prepared however, with … More Pork Ball Porridge
So yes. I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that Christmas is over and the crazy feasting is done. The refrigerator was stuffed full of leftovers which disappeared surprisingly quickly. I do have 7 people under my roof and everyone with a really hearty appetite! I think it was only my 7 kg ham … More Low Carb Ham Fried Cauliflower Rice
Is it possible to survive in Asia if you really want to be strict with a low carb diet? To be honest after going low carb for the past 4 years, I still have some difficulty eating out. My family knows that I never go into Thai or Vietnamese restaurants willingly and I will only … More Low Carb Korean Bibimbap
I really love Korean food. Part of it was due to living in a town that was heavily populated by Koreans when I was in the US – people on the streets or in the shops didn’t necessarily speak English! Part of it is also the reinforcement from Korean movies that seemed to feature gorgeous … More Low Carb Kimchi Cauliflower Fried “Rice”
I’ve been watching Masterchef Australia and been constantly amazed by the artistry of plating, the innovative use of ingredients and the inspiration from childhood food memories that the contestants seem to excel at. I would never be able to survive a single pressure test or to be able plate the way these guys do. But … More Instant Pot Beef Rendang
Kid#2 just had her sweet 16th and had a couple of friends over for a pizza party. It was entertaining having the girls over and to hear the intermittent shrieking even though I confess I hid out in my room when I got tired of the noise level. The party actually really made me feel … More 15 Minutes Healthy Cauliflower Rice
