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
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
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
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.

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
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
