I’ve been mulling…when I first switched to a low carb lifestyle 5 years ago I did spend an inordinate amount of time mourning over the loss of my favourite dishes. For the longest time I would console myself saying that perhaps 1 week before dying I would eat Hokkien Mee or char kuay teow or … More Low Carb Chocolate Mousse Bombs
So I’m a little on a dip and spread obsession at the moment. I have these terrible “snacky” moments where I seem to need to nibble on something in between. Nuts and cheese are pretty good low carb options for snacks although nuts are hard to regulate and I often eat more than I should … More Japanese-Style Chicken Liver Pate
I gave my second low carb talk today! It was fun hanging out with a bunch of ladies and sharing my own story and the journey of the past 5 years. I also figured that you can’t have a low carb talk without low carb food tasting and I decided to bring a bunch of … More Easy Spinach Dip
I think I’m in a Japanese phase at the moment. I didn’t realise it but after sequentially making Japanese cold tofu, Japanese beef stew, Japanese cauliflower rice inari and now Japanese curry mussels I suspect that my subconscious is embracing the land of the rising sun. I remember growing up learning to eat Japanese food. … More Instant Pot Japanese Curry Mussels
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

I was really intrigued because the spaghetti squash is great for baking but usually the … More Baked Sharksfin Melon
I’ve been annoyed for quite a bit. Ever since Christmas, the Instant Pot has been out of stock. Here in Singapore the best place to get the IP is via Amazon UK as the plug and power is exactly correct. I’ve been hankering after the 8L Pot for more than a year already for 3 … More Instant Pot Teochew Braised Duck
I love traveling. The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say. – … More Baked Spaghetti Squash
Chinese steamboat or hot pot 火锅 is an integral part of our food culture. Every Chinese New Year, household stores advertise electric steamboats. I’ve had my trusty steamboat for about 20 years already and it has seen us through many celebratory meals. The wonderful thing about steamboat is that it’s about simmering a whole variety … More Homemade Chinese Steamboat
I held out for the longest time. I had steadily refused to buy an air fryer, citing a tiny kitchen that you can’t swing a cat by the tail in. And I refused to get involved in all the Facebook posts that were raving about the Buffalo Air Fryer. But one day I stumbled onto … More Instant Pot Keto Meatballs
