It’s been a while. No excuses but it’s been so crazy that posting recipes has really fallen by the wayside. We’ve been travelling lots and the last flight home we caught Covid and so I haven’t quite got past the sense of always being behind the curve. So what pushed me to write this recipe … More Faux Japanese Potato Salad
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 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
It’s been a while since I have posted any recipes and it’s not that I haven’t been cooking but truth is I haven’t done anything very new or post-worthy.

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
It’s Chinese New Year again and it is promising to be a whirlwind of visiting and activities. It just happened that hub’s birthday fell a couple of days before CNY and so we’ve been hosting a bunch of dinners. And since it’s CNY season what better appetizer to serve than Yu Sheng? I used to … More Low Carb Yu Sheng Revisited
So the inspiration for the Poke (pronounced poh-kay) bowl was an unfortunate one. Yesterday there was a gruesome murder where the victim was stabbed by his father-in-law and ended up dying in front of a cafe called “A Poke Theory”. Poke cafes have been springing up all over Singapore as the next big thing. It’s … More Low Carb Salmon and Swordfish Poke Bowl
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 must be losing it. I double booked myself into 2 conferences this weekend, both of which I really wanted to attend. This kind of slip up is getting more frequent and may be symptomatic of an overloaded life or just poor calendar management. I think it is probably a combination of busyness and forgetfulness, … More Gingko Nut Cucumber Salad
