Fried Minced Meat & Potato Curry
To all my Muslim readers, this is a non-halal post. Apologies! Two nights ago, I created another new dish for my curry-loving kids – minced pork curry with potatoes and tomatoes.

Home-cooked Dinner – 30 November 2015
It was a last minute preparation, with only half an hour for the marinate sauces to seep into the chicken boxing. Â My bad. I find that I am so much lazier during school holidays and so much more efficient on school-going days. I find that when I sleep in an additional of 2 hours a…
