Tomyam Fish

Posted on July 26, 2017July 25, 2017 by Shireen

I bought a packet of Mak Nyonya tomyam paste the other day. As our girls cannot stomach a dish that’s too spicy, I only use a couple of tablespoons of paste each time to cook the dish. This packet of tomyam paste is enough for me to cook three dishes: tomyam fried rice, tomyam fish…

Monday Lunch – 17 July 2017

Posted on July 18, 2017 by Shireen

Lunch today was cooked at the spur of the moment. I had wanted to get takeout lunch but when I was looking at the fridge planning what to cook for dinner, I had this craving for something light and easy since we had spicy Korean food the day before. Our lunch at Oiso Korean Restaurant…

Wednesday Night Dinner – Yee Mee With Braised Minced Pork

Posted on July 13, 2017July 13, 2017 by Shireen

Yesterday’s dinner was a quickie as Alycia has Math tuition to attend at 8 p.m. every Wednesday. This means that I have to start cooking at 4:30 p.m.; then eat at 5:30 p.m.; dinner over at 6:30 p.m.; give her an hour to shower and dilly dally before her friend’s mum comes to pick her…

Turmeric Roast Chicken

Posted on July 8, 2017July 8, 2017 by Shireen

The first dinner that I cooked after the mil left for Hawaii two days ago is roast chicken. For the next one month, cooking meals for the family will be my responsibility. After half a year of hiatus in cooking and feeling really indolent now, I need time to warm up with simple dishes before…

Post Laproscopic Myomectomy Surgery

Posted on June 8, 2017June 9, 2017 by Shireen

I got my period yesterday – 9 days after the laproscopic myomectomy surgery. My surgeon had warned me that the flow will be very heavy this time but subsequent periods will see a normal flow. Though my Aunt Flow is quite heavy this time, it pales in comparison with the periods I’ve had during my…

Healthy Meals Before Surgery

Posted on May 25, 2017May 25, 2017 by Shireen

Four more days to go before the long awaited day! Bring it on! These days, I am very careful with what I put into my mouth. I make sure that what goes into my body is not ‘tuk‘ (poisonous in Cantonese) and is low in sugar. I try to eat more iron-rich foods, more fruits…

My Tuesday – 23 May 2017

Posted on May 23, 2017May 24, 2017 by Shireen

Five more days to go before I go under the knife. The clock is ticking away…. This will be my fourth surgery, of which three were C-section deliveries and one was a laproscopic ovarian drilling. The laproscopic myomectomy surgery that I am scheduled to go through will be performed at the same hospital that I…

Random Matters – 5 May 2017

Posted on May 5, 2017May 5, 2017 by Shireen

Today marks the 8th anniversary of my 3-week nightmarish stay at GMC Penang with Cass. She went in for a Uretheral Reimplantation surgery on 5 May 20o9. Something awfully awry happened during the surgery. There was a complication and she was operated on 2 weeks later, after many X-rays, ultrasound scans, a CT-Scan and a…

Home-cooked Dinner – 25 April 2017

Posted on April 27, 2017 by Shireen

Our cozy weeknight dinner at home with simple yet yummy dishes: Sauteed organic broccoli with garlic, fish balls and carrot slices; tomato omelette; Happy Call Pan-fried ribeye steak. On the foreground are pork ribs and ‘phang kor’ from the soup. ‘Phang kor’ is a seed that looks and tastes very similarly to ginkgo and it…

Home-Cooked Food For School

Posted on April 6, 2017April 6, 2017 by Shireen

Drama Queen likes bringing home cooked food to school. This year, she has to stay back in school every day for UPSR exam preparation classes. When there are extra dishes and rice from dinner, she will keep them in the fridge. The next morning, she will wake up 5 minutes earlier to reheat the food…

Homecooked Lunch – 6 March 2017

Posted on March 6, 2017March 7, 2017 by Shireen

“What’s for lunch today?” This is the question that the mil and I would ask each other every morning. Whenever we shrug our shoulders implying a non-verbal “no to outside food”, she would be quick to suggest home cooked food. Then she would stride to the kitchen to defrost meat and hurriedly whip up a…

Our Friday – 4 March 2017

Posted on March 4, 2017March 6, 2017 by Shireen

Friday evenings are reserved for the big girl. After picking her up from the Math tuition center, we would jaunt off to the pasar malam if it doesn’t rain. She’s a pretty simple girl who finds gratification taking long walks at the pasar malam, stopping at all her favorite stalls to get her favorite street…

Iron Rich Dishes

Posted on March 2, 2017March 4, 2017 by Shireen

My mission to increase my red blood cells continues… Each day, I eat either a handful of dried red dates (about 4 or 5) or drink a few cups of red dates + black dates tonic. In addition, I eat an egg every morning and season the egg with half a teaspoon of organic blackstrap molasses….

Home-Cooked Dinner

Posted on December 8, 2016May 6, 2017 by Shireen

The mil is still feeling a tad under the weather, thus I am still in charged of cooking dinner every day. Thankfully it’s the school hols and the girls can help out in the kitchen. On some days, they would be very eager to help but on some days, gawd I have to holler at…

Tomyam Pork

Posted on November 16, 2016August 21, 2017 by Shireen

I created this new dish for dinner yesterday! Tomyam pork is so easy to cook and so yummy that you would think I am not revealing all the steps and ingredients. Once you have all the ingredients, this dish is a total child’s play. Even Drama Queen can whip this out on her own. She did…

Compilation Of Easy & Healthy Home-Cooked Dinner

Posted on November 12, 2016August 22, 2017 by Shireen

I realized that I have not cooked Chicken Adobo for 3 years when I referred back to my old blog post for the recipe! Since it is pretty easy to prep and I have ran out of idea on what to dish out, we had Chicken Adobo early this week. Chicken Adobo is a popular dish…
