So I feel like a new person. After having weathered Covid-19 it’s nice to have energy back. I can’t imagine what it is to live with long Covid because the first few days of the illness I felt like a truck ran over me. But I was fortunate not to have fever and in fact … More Low Carb Fried Beef Noodles
Dad just celebrated his 84th birthday! It was a rather muted celebration because mum has Covid-19 and we couldn’t have visitors over. We ordered a special parents’ set lunch from Putien and he really enjoyed that. I’m thankful that he has an amazing appetite and really loves his food. He’s always been very adventurous food-wise, … More Low Carb Ipoh Hor Fun
There’s a bit of a new fad in town. In case you didn’t notice it, the 板面 (handmade noodle) stalls have started selling spinach and pork soup. Most times if I do eat at food courts and hawker centers I will choose a fish soup without noodles to keep things low carb, but the spinach … More Spinach and Meatball Noodle Soup
We’ve been having some fun in the kitchen. A couple of weeks ago helper D caught Covid-19 and it was a bit of a tough period having her in isolation so that she didn’t pass the virus to the oldies at home. During that time cooking was very functional and I didn’t have time to … More Handmade Fish Ball and Pork Mince Noodle Soup

But one thing I usually have handy are thin beef sliced – shabu beef that often ends up in steamboat or hotpot because … More Low Carb Japanese Beef Stew
The weather has been turning a little bit more wet and stormy, as expected near the end of the year with the onset of the monsoon season. I’ve been enjoying a little more time indoors thanks to the weather as well as the continued burgeoning number of cases of Covid-19 in the community. It’s not … More Pork Meatball and Wintermelon Noodle Soup
It’s been the strangest of years. Notwithstanding the absence large parties, I realised that I have been equally busy cooking for small parties. The same effort is still needed for every festive meal. So after yesterday’s thanksgiving meal for the women’s ministry leaders I found myself teetering on the edge of exhaustion. So much for … More Low Carb Mee Bakso
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
Today was a cheery day! Easter is a happy day for the family, remembering the joyful season (no bunnies included) and a weekend off work. It’s pretty much my first weekend off after a couple of crazy busy months and it was so wonderful to potter around the kitchen and to think up crazy recipes. … More Rainbow Noodles
Weekends are precious to me…but since I had to attend an annual general meeting this morning, there was impetus to prepare something really quickly for hubs and I. When we first got married, we loved to go to a coffee shop called Loon Seng which had a killer curry noodle that we adored. What was … More Curry in a Hurry
