Yesterday I have been SO BUSY that I forgot I was over exhausted! The past one week has been really really hectic for me. Applications for purchase of Izumio and Super Lutein have been high as the promotion for 1 free product ends on 30 Sept 2016 and many people are submitting their applications at…
Today has been a very, very hectic day. It doesn’t help that my Aunt Flow is visiting. And she’s been really bothersome today with a heavy flow. Another thing that’s bothering me is this big zit right smack in the middle of my right cheek!! And it looks SO prominent on my pale colored skin….
Pan-fried red snapper fish and mackerel fish marinated with turmeric powder, Baba’s fish curry powder, organic shoyu and ground black pepper. I have tried frying fish using steel wok, non-stick granite pan, non-stick Teflon pan and Khind stir-fryer. My verdict is – the Khind electric stir-fryer gives the best outcome. For the 3 slices of…
Our girls love grilled chicken. I cook it at least once a week, sometimes twice. My grilled chicken is cooked in a variety of styles – with turmeric powder, teriyaki sauce, honey, lemon grass, lemon juice, curry paste, tomyam paste, black pepper, breaded and much more. Last week I tried something different with the chicken…
Dinner on a hectic Wednesday yesterday… 1 Tomyam pomfret fish with lots of brinjal, tomatoes, carrots and broccoli. I used half a packet of Mak Nyonya Tomyam paste. 2 Blanched organic broccoli. The reddish tomyam paste looks and tastes really fiery. I sauteed the paste with some oil and garlic. You can add onions…
The first meal for dinner that I cooked after a half-year hiatus is this: 1. Cincai fried rice with onions, left-over shredded chicken breast meat and eggs. 2. Blanched organic veggie 3. Steamed pork ribs braised with sand ginger, shallots and tomatoes. The mil had cooked this earlier before she left for Hong Kong and…
I have always wanted to get an air-fryer and Thermomix (TMX) to help me cook in the kitchen. But lack of support from the hubs (he commented that these gadgets will eventually turn into another white elephant, duh!) and most importantly, lack of budget (the TMX costs over RM6,000!) have prevented me from getting those…
Yummy dishes whipped up by the mil for dinner yesterday… On the foreground above: acar fried fish, which is an extremely tasty and tantalizing Nyonya dish. It’s my favorite and a traditional recipe that not many people know of. Foreground below: stir-fried lean pork slices with preserved vegetables. This is another much celebrated appetite-whetting dish…
Lunch today was a one-dish + rice meal. Some spoilt brats weren’t too pleased as they had expected more than that. When Drama Queen and Cass came back from school, they looked really disappointed when they found out that there was only one dish, i.e. steamed egg with minced meat and that’s something very rare….
This morning I was interviewed by a Caucasian professor from an Australian university at a cafe in my neighborhood. The topic was on social media ‘micro celebrities’ who are also parents. It’s for his research paper. It was an eye opening experience for me. While I was away, Cass and Sherilyn attended Mandarin enrichment class at…
Here are a few more wholesome and delightful home-cooked dishes that the mil wok-ed up this week… Below – Braised chicken with dried sand ginger, shallots and tomatoes. Below – braised chicken with dried tofu sheets (fu choke) and mushrooms. Below – pan fried prawns with soy sauce and Chinese cooking wine. I am so…
