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. She loves trying out new recipes, especially Korean and Japanese cuisines. We’re all happy to be her guinea pigs. But all these new dishes will soon start…
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…
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.

We had Korean and Chinese for dinner yesterday, prepped by chef Sherilyn:~ steamed mantou (dough mixed in TMX6)~ Korean Bulgogi pork~ roast duck (gift from a friend) The texture of the mantou is 100% perfect — soft, fluffy and pillowy.

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. …

Everyone is waiting with bated breath for our PM to announce tomorrow whether the country will go into MCO 2.0 to bring down the Covid19 infection rate. Many people have predicted that it will be another lockdown. For us, it does not matter anymore whether it’s MCO or CMCO or CMCO with tightened SOPs. Hubby’s…
While I can’t wait for the girls to return to school on 20 January, I’m also worried about their safety while they’re in school. My girls are pretty obedient when it comes to following the Covid19 SOPs. They’re always wearing their face masks the moment they step out of the house and they’re always sanitizing…

As we had a very costly abalone hot pot dinner last night coz the in-house chef opened our expensive can of extra large abalone without asking my permission, I told her we’re going to have cheap vegan dinners for the next few days to counter-balance our budget ? So chef Sherilyn cooked a meat-free lasagna from…

Our teenage chef cooked a big pot of kimchi soup that was so spicy that everyone was left gasping, breathless, dribbling with goo and gulping down cups of cool water ? . I went grocery shopping with Sherilyn yesterday morning and she chose a new brand of chili powder, which she didn’t think was so hot! …
It’s Korean for dinner again, by Chef Sherilyn! This time she cooked Bulgogi pork and pork ribs, kimchi soup, black fungus salad, home-made kimchi and home-made pickled radish. The last two dishes were prepped a couple of weeks ago. The pork and pork ribs were marinated with fresh pear and kiwi juice, red onions, scallions,…
Our teenage chef whipped up braised Tung Por Yoke (Dong Po Rou) for dinner tonight. And we were all her willing and happy guinea pigs again.

Hubs has bento box prepping at his shop in the morning, followed by a private kitchen event attended by celebrities in the evening. Since I have some free time on a Sunday, I went to his shop to help him with the photography to post on Catermate’s Facebook page as I’m helping him to manage…
