There was some cabbage & carrot stirfry from last night’s dinner, so I used it to make fried bee hoon. Very quick to whip up since the cabbage was already cooked. Add a scrambled egg, and you’ve got carbs, fibre, and protein for a balanced meal!

This is Mama-in-law’s standard purchase whenever she shops at Four Leaves Bakery. She got a couple for us as well, when I took her shopping at Jurong Point SC yesterday.
As Four Leaves is a Japanese-style bakery, the bread is typically soft and cottony. The mashed potato is sufficiently smooth and tasty. We warmed these in [...]

We haven’t bought these for a while. They’re nice enough to munch on their own, but hubby likes them with butter.

Instead of butter, I experimented spreading the bread with mayo today. Hey, it’s nice! I find that butter has a tendency to overpower the pork floss, but mayo seems to go very well with it.
I asked Rick if he could spot any difference, but he said no. Maybe he was reading the newspaper, [...]

This was a quick dinner before catching Alice In Wonderland 3D at Lido Cineplex.
Rick and I are both HUGE fans of Imperial Treasure’s roast meats, especially their roast pork. See how beautifully golden the crackling is! It’s evenly crisp and light, just sublime. The char siew is succulent, has good bite, and isn’t too sweet.
On [...]

“Can we have a simple breakfast tomorrow, say plain bread with some kind of spread?” requested hubby yesterday. Heh, I think he’s getting a bit scared of my breakfast experiments.
Actually, Rick can happily eat bread for breakfast everyday. But not me! I prefer Asian breakfasts. How shall I convince him that porridge/congee is a delicious [...]

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 [...]
