Change is the only constant. This post comes in a time of uncertainty – the American elections are ongoing and the winner of the race will be announced next week. Whether Trump or Clinton becomes the next president it is almost certain the world will change. Here in South East Asia we feel the rumbling … More Instant Pot Pulled Pork
It is a really odd season to be in. This is the Deepavali/Diwali weekend, Halloween candy is in the stores and Christmas lights have come out on Orchard Road already. This is a true clash of cultures that is so common in Singapore – it seems sometimes that we do nothing but celebrate festivals the … More Instant Pot Mexican Pulled Beef Brisket
Ok…drum roll…my first Instant Pot cheesecake! I’ve always been really skeptical about pressure cooking cheesecake – I think I make a pretty mean NY cheesecake in the oven with a water bath, but I think I’ve been seeing too many posts of people making cheesecake in the Instant Pot. I could quite get to do … More Low Carb Instant Pot Cheesecake
So I made the mistake of asking kid#1 what he wanted for dinner. Sunday dinner is the one day in the week that I cook for the family, and he knows this is the time I usually experiment with recipes. So kid#1’s request was opportunistic and he knew I wouldn’t hold back from the challenge … More Low Carb Chicken, Sausage and Shrimp Gumbo
Today was a proud day for Singapore. Joseph Schooling made both Singapore and Olympic record history with his awesome 100m butterfly swim. It was the first Olympic gold medal ever for our small country and Singaporeans are all blown away by his decisive win today.There must have been a collective roar at 9.17 am Singapore … More Instant Pot Braised Beef Cheeks in Red Wine
Today I deserve a pat on the back. I’ve now moved past the usual experimental beef stews and bolognese sauce in the Instant Pot. At the heart of things I love Chinese food and Chinese noodles are the one thing I really miss in my low carb lifestyle. More often than not, as a family … More Low Carb Cantonese Braised Beef Brisket Noodles
As a child in the 70s and 80s in Singapore, I grew up with interesting food experiences. I think we always had excellent local street food. I grew up in Jalan Kayu, with the crispest and fluffiest Roti Pratas, and I still dream of the corner tze char stall which fired up a kind of … More Instant Pot Low-Carb Beef Stroganoff
I don’t understand people who eat out all the time. Yes, I know that Singapore has ridiculously good food at really good prices (and our hawker food has now been honored by Bib Gourmand Michelin Stars), but I don’t really understand how one can eat out all the time, every day. This must not be … More Low Carb BBQ Pulled Chicken
There is a very Asian belly in me. Breakfast to me is a bowl of congee, kaya toast or noodles. Since going low carb however, it is usually eggs or low carb bread or a salad. Kid #2 has a strong predilection for pancakes, waffles and drop scones, which is what we ended up with … More Fresh Ricotta Pancakes
I’ve been coveting this pot for months. Ever since I came across a post about this pot on a low carb blog I confess I’ve been thinking and dreaming about it. There is a gadgetholic streak in me and I already have gadgets spilling out of my cupboards, like a sous vide circulator, my own … More My Latest Toy – Instant Pot
