I was really tied up with work the whole of yesterday. When the girls got home from school, lunch was still not ready! Thankfully Miss Drama Queen offered to help me blanch the soba and udon, bless her!! 🙂 I then popped the grilled sesame chicken that I cooked the night before into the microwave…
Our girls went back to school yesterday (Friday) after 4 days of lazy haze holiday. But what do we know? The haze was really terrible yesterday when school was reopened. The acrid smell of the smog was horrendous and I was choking inside the house. I felt like I could not breathe. My nose and…
Remember I mentioned in my blog post on Monday that my part-time helper gave me a last minute no turn-up notice? Well despite her absence, I went ahead to dish up a simple yet wholesome and delish dinner. I have told her (and other part-time helpers) umpteen times to inform me before 12 noon should…
My lazy cincai dinner for tonight… Meatless fried rice composed of 1 big Bombay onion, 1 large bulb of garlic, Edamame beans, avocado oil, chopped scallions, 4 eggs, few dashes of soy sauce, pepper and a large cup of LOVE. Decor – blanched organic broccoli and organic cherry tomatoes and a few shakes of Japanese…
The mil cooked a big pot of ‘tau kok lup’ and purple sweet potato porridge for lunch last week. ‘Tau Kok Lup’ is a healthy sauteed dish composed of long beans, diced carrot, diced preserved veggie (choy po), diced prawns, diced chicken meat or pork and crunchy peanuts. It is normally eaten with porridge. You…
Our wholesome, hearty and healthy dinner last night… Black rice (mixed with a handful of low GI Basmati rice), sauteed leek flower with garlic, pan-fried salmon fish and Sanbeiji chicken fillet (3-Cup Chicken) (cooked with ginger, wine, sesame oil, garlic and basil leaves). Check out the beautiful purplish, blackish hue of the black rice –…
Guess what we had for dinner tonight? It’s a homey dinner but the price is that of a fine dine dinner at a 5-star restaurant. Yes beef steak… but not the regular beef. Look carefully at the marbled appearance… It’s Kobe beef, all the way from Hong Kong! The MIL hand carried the Kobe beef…
One of the activities for Sherilyn during this school holiday is living skills training 🙂 She may be pretty clumsy, impulsive (she drives me nuts with her impulsiveness) and accident-prone, but when it comes to cooking, I can see that she is trying really hard NOT to be what she is 😀 As she flipped…
Who hates frying fish? I.hate.frying.fish! I hate the oil splatters on my skin. You can never miss at least a drop or two of hot oil splatters on your skin when you slide the fish into the wok unless you wear gloves and a full body protective suit. Once, the oil splattered onto my eye lid…
Here’s another sweat-free dinner I whipped up last night — grilled lemon grass chicken and blanched organic siew bok choy. I love my oven, it’s better than an air-fryer (as it’s huge vs the air-fryer) and I can save so much time by replacing deep-frying and pan-frying with grilling in the oven. And my persnickety…
These days, I am back to preparing home-cooked meals twice a day – for lunch and dinner. Everyday, I waste a little time thinking of what to take-away for lunch. I am sick of eating char siew and roast chicken rice and noodles are crap, I mean carbs. Economy rice dishes (chap fan) are too…
Lunch for Cass on one of the school days last week… Mushroom pasta, grilled turmeric and kafir lime leaves chicken drumstick, hardboiled free-range chicken egg and half a cob of sweet corn. Smoothie of the day and her Izumio hydrogen water. This Martha Stewart mushroom pasta recipe calls for white wine to prepare the mushroom…
