This has been such a long day, starting with this morning. I overslept when I should have woken up earlier to make breakfast as well as a packed lunch for hubby.
What followed was a mad rush – cook rice, steam braised duck leg (from Mommy’s Sunday dinner), cut cabbage & carrot, stirfry cabbage & carrot, [...]

Sunday evening – dinner at my mom’s. As usual, she prepared enough rations to feed the SAF, Navy, and Air Force. Of course, she made me bring home the excess food.
“Take it all home, then you don’t have to cook. Just reheat and eat! Oh, here’s some fresh fish and prawns as well. Bought them [...]

The only reason I had lunch here today was because Noodle Place has a new head consultant, Chef Chui, who was formerly Executive Chef of the renowned Mak’s Noodles in Hong Kong.
Now, I’ve not tried Mak’s Noodles’s famous shrimp wanton noodle before. But having been to Hong Kong a couple of times before, I find [...]

Hubby picked out his own brekkie today, and he didn’t like it! The fried bread part was nice – soft and fluffy with a crispy exterior – but the curried potato filling was WAY too spicy. Not a good choice for the first meal of the day.
The egg tart came from Mother-in-Law when she came [...]

Did you catch the premiere of Cake Boss on Wednesday? I missed it, but saw today’s encore telecast at 12pm. Wow, the three black-and-white bridal cakes that Buddy created for Brides Magazine were simply stunning, especially the intricate, hand-piped one. But my favorite was his own birthday boat cake. It was full of whimsical details [...]

Breakfast today was a light affair. Soft and mildly sweet, these butter rolls by Sunshine Bakeries are rather more-ish. I zapped them in the microwave for 10 secs to make them warm and soft.
I’ve also used them before to make mini burgers. Good idea for kids’ bentos or as canapes for parties!
BTW, I forgot to [...]

Hubby bought breakfast this morning, from our neighborhood coffeeshop. We patronize this stall pretty often. Their food is pretty decent and reasonably priced.
Our favorite item is the vegetable fritter. The other three items are French bean, sweet & spicy beancurd, and spring roll. This portion is way too heavy for one person’s breakfast, so we [...]

This is another breakfast fav of hubby’s. He likes his eggs barely set, but this is a little too runny for my liking.
BTW, I’m seriously considering buying a toaster. Currently, I use a griddle pan to make toast, but somehow, it just doesn’t come out as dry and crisp. However, I’m reluctant to buy another [...]

Sorry, no image of hubby’s brekkie today, cos I was too busy making a packed lunch. No time to take pictures!
I hastily snapped some pics of hubby’s lunch box – tuna kimbap and fresh Korean strawberries – while he was putting on his shoes. Oh, it was such a mad rush this morning! After he [...]
