It’s the most wonderful time of the year! This is really the season when I feel lighthearted and care-free. Although clinics are full, most of the administrative work is in a lull period and so I can actually work decent hours with a proper time to go home and the weekends I am left to … More Low Carb Instant Pot Fish and Mussel Chowder
Ok I admit it. It’s my favourite, most wonderful time of the year. It’s a month from Christmas but Christmas baking has started. This is the time of the year I dream recipes. I love everything about Christmas. We have our traditional walk down Orchard Road where we will likely diss the decorations again for … More Low Carb Gingerbread Cheesecake
It’s crazy. 2019 has pretty much sped past and it’s coming to the season of thanksgiving, reflection and resolution-making! The end of the year hopefully will slow down a bit although I must say where clinics are concerned, specialist paediatricians actually work harder over the school holidays than at other times of the year. Much … More Kimchi Noodles
I’m not a natural baker. I slavishly follow recipes and while I love trying out new recipes, it takes me a while to tweak them and I’m not sure if I have that much staying power to bring the recipe to perfection. Recently I had a surprise birthday party and I was given a beautiful … More Somewhat Low Carb Carrot Cake
So I’ve been complaining about my busy season and not getting enough sleep and exercise. I confess the weight has been creeping up so it was after a medical appointment recently that I decided that I needed a “control-alternate-delete” radical reset for my diet. I’ve been doing low carb for more than 6 years but … More Roasted Mushroom Crisps
So I admit it. I’ve jumped onto the chaffle bandwagon. Love it or hate it, the new keto craze for chaffles (cheese and egg waffles) is here to stay. I didn’t quite understand the chaffle craze since the family is pretty happy with my cheddar cheese and chives waffle recipe. But I guess that there … More Okonomiyaki Chaffles
I’m the ultimate caterer at heart. It’s conference time again and as this several thousand strong conference at Singapore Expo usually does not cater lunch for delegates, it was my happy space to prepare a packed lunch for the family. I was vacillating between making a quiche or possibly even lasagna but one of the … More Cauliflower Rice Inari
Why would anybody want to burn something? Actually burning is not necessarily a sign of incompetence in the kitchen, but rather an appreciation of the Maillard reaction, that beautiful browning reaction that gives a smoky caramelized flavour. It can be an illustration of life as well – when friends ask how kid#2 is doing in … More Basque-inspired Low Carb Burnt Pandan Cheesecake
So one of the things about this blog is that some people have been saying that the recipes are too complicated. Okay, the feedback was from some friends who are non-cooks. But still…the comments gave me pause. So I think today’s recipe will definitely be classified as drop dead easy. Truly I wasn’t really in … More Low Carb Beef Noodle
National Day has come round again! I really enjoyed the day of absolutely no work or ministry commitments, some time cooking and catching up with friends. Oh and of course watching the mandatory National Day Parade telecast. There’s something nostalgic about listening to Singapore songs and listening to kid#2 critique the marching styles of the … More Low Carb Kheema Cottage Pie
