Homemade Assorted Madeleines
Our teenage chef is on a madeleine baking frenzy! She made two batches on the same day some time last week and it was a BIG HIT with everyone, especially Cass. Cass even brought the madeleines to school for recess. She’s one stubborn fella who just wouldn’t want to bring any food to school despite…

Sherilyn got herself a part-time job at our neighborhood cafe to kill time during the 3-week school holidays. This is the third week she’s in the job. She only works on Saturdays and on certain week days when she doesn’t have tuition classes. The owners of the cafe are awesome folks and take really good…
16 February 2022 ~ Sherilyn’s 17th Birthday
Sherilyn turns 17 today! She’s my Chor 8 CNY baby. Her birthday fell during CNY in most years but this year, it’s a day after Chap Goh Meh. Used to be the most challenging and willful child of my 3 daughters, Sherilyn’s grown and matured so much over the years. She’s no longer my most…
What The Girls Did During The School Holidays
During the recent 3-week school term break, we stayed home most of the time. Sherilyn and Cass earned some pocket money by working part-time at their dad’s central kitchen and office. Sherilyn helped to prep Western dishes, with Cass assisting her. They also did filing and other clerical jobs at the office. Sherilyn started a…
Avocado Egg Roll
Our finicky teenage chef doesn’t like her school canteen’s food. So she preps her own food everyday. This week she made these for her lunch box: Jumeok-bap or rice ball or Korean style onigiri. It’s cooked rice mixed with boiled kombu, sweet corn kernels, seaweed and soy sauce and rolled into balls. You can use…
Our Teenage Chef
Sherilyn showed interest in cooking and baking when she was still a preschooler. She started to help me out in the kitchen when she was about 5 years old. She baked her first cake when she was 11 years old. It was a lovely strawberry cake for my mum’s birthday 70th birthday. Since that strawberry…

This week Sherilyn is staying home for remote learning. She went to school last week. Next week will be the last week that Sherilyn attends physical classes in school before the year end school holidays begin. I’ve been clocking in only 5-6 hours of shut-eye for the last two weeks, including Saturdays and Sundays. I…
Spanish Paella
Our teenage chef whipped up Spanish Paella for dinner early this week. It’s loaded with fish, prawns and homemade sausages. For the grain, she used Japanese rice. It tastes as good as the one that we had at the farmers’ market in Auckland years ago For the leftover Paella, Sherilyn baked it the next day.…
Sherilyn & Cassandra’s 2nd Pfizer Shot (Monday, 18 October 2021)
The entire process at Axiata Arena yesterday was completed in under an hour, including a 15-minute post-shot observation period. While the youths waited at the observation area after their shots, all the parents were asked to leave the hall and to wait outside, under the hot scorching sun at 12 noon ?. The entire process…

A light and fluffy bread with garlic and olive oil littered with some token…
Lockdown Home-cooked Dishes By Our Teenage Chef
Sherilyn grasps every opportunity that she has in between online classes and dance & guitar classes to cook. When one has a burning passion in cooking (and of course eating!), one will not find it stressful to slog for hours in the kitchen to churn out comforting food for the tummy. I notice this in…

Saturday, 20 March 2021 ~ Consultation With Cardiologist
I spent the entire morning today at the hospital. This time it was at SJMC with Sherilyn, to see a cardiologist! Sherilyn has been getting a nagging pressure with ‘clicky’ sounds on her sternum (breastbone) since Oct 2020. At times she feels lightheaded. She’s been hounding me to bring her to see a cardiologist for…
