Home-cooked Meals By Our Teenage Chef

These are the delectables cooked by Sherilyn on Sunday and Monday. Sunday – Ratatouille. Monday – grilled chicken and baked smashed potatoes. Both dishes were decadent. If you like French fries, try making baked smashed potatoes. They’re healthier (and crispy too) and so much more yummier. Littered with herbs, black pepper, olive oil and a…

Alycia has finally tendered her resignation from the international pre-school and after-school care center. Her last day of work will be 31 May 2021.

Alycia received her very first salary today and she’s delighted! It’s a 4-figure amount and paid to her in cash. Though not a lot and considered below the minimum wage, it is still a lot to a 17-year old girl in her first temporary job right after SPM and without any experience. My sweet girl…

Sherilyn’s Home-Cooked Dishes

Sherilyn doesn’t cook and bake as much now than she did during the MCO months. However, she still tries to cook every other day, in between online classes.

Sherilyn whipped up some yummy Korean fare for lunch and dinner today:Tteokbokki or spicy stir-fried Korean rice cakes for lunch, all made from scratch. This is not my kind of meal as I don’t like starchy food, so she added hard boiled eggs and ‘foo pei’ for me. For dinner, she cooked ttukbaegi bulgogi (stewed…

Tteokbokki (Spicy Korean Rice Cake)

We had Tteokbokki for lunch today, made from scratch by our in-house teenage chef. This is not my kind of meal as I don’t like starchy food, so Sherilyn added hard boiled eggs for me.

Super addictive once you start to eat a bite. I tried hard to resist popping…

Thursday, 25 February 2021 MCO Lunner – Homemade Sukiyaki

We had a sumptuous lunner of Sukiyaki prepped by chef Sherilyn today! The Sukiyaki sauce is made from scratch and it’s actually very simple. Only 3 ingredients are required: soy sauce, mirin and sugar. We omitted sake as we don’t have it. This is really delish and not salty, unlike super salty ones from restaurants. …
