Low Carb Loco Moco
October 25, 2015
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
Kimchi Jigae
October 24, 2015
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
Seafood Tofu Soup (Haemul Sundubu Jigae)
October 22, 2015
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)
Tom Yum Shirataki Noodles
October 13, 2015
I wonder how I got through my school years. Recent conversation with kid #2 surprised me as she talked about how left out she felt when going to camp and she didn’t know who to hang out with. And this is the kid who loves camps. But given that kid #2’s personality, I shouldn’t … More Tom Yum Shirataki Noodles
Homemade Feijoada (Black Bean Stew)
October 12, 2015
Good ol’ hubs was pandering to my carnivorous instincts when he organized a birthday celebration this weekend at Carni & Caipirinha, a new Churrascaria place in Clementi. It was a triple birthday celebration for my equally carnivorous son, my FIL (who has meat and chewing aversion in case any of his dental implants … More Homemade Feijoada (Black Bean Stew)
Tonkotsu Ramen Redemption
October 11, 2015
I don’t usually repost recipes but I had to for this one. The last attempt at tonkotsu ramen was fraught with disasters, starting from flooding my vacuum sealer with marinade for the sous vide pork belly, then having flavour challenges as sugar substitute is actually sweeter than sugar and that made the chashu pork … More Tonkotsu Ramen Redemption

Repetition rocks. The neuroscience of learning centers on repetition to engrave pathways and reinforce facilitation at the synapses. In human speak, it just means that practice makes perfect and learning needs repetition. So in clinic when faced with a child with a learning disability, I often have to underline the importance of repetition in … More Low Carb French Pear and Chocolate Tart
Spicy Fish Stew
October 6, 2015
Exams are over! Or almost – kid #2 only has Chinese listening comprehension exam left and kid #1 was done last week. Now that kid #1’s exams are over we are seeing even less of him than before. I’m getting a little taste of empty nest syndrome; I suppose that is only to be … More Spicy Fish Stew
10 Minute Low Carb Black Bean Stew
September 30, 2015
I’ve created a monster. I staggered up this morning to discover that kid #1 needed breakfast and there was “nothing to eat in the house”. Now if anyone has ever been in my home you will know that there is always an abundance of food flowing out of every fridge, freezer, and cupboard. … More 10 Minute Low Carb Black Bean Stew
