Another project of mine kick-started recently, and even though I do a sweet deal of being able to work from home, I occasionally get guilt-ed into going down to the office once in awhile. It’s a lovely group of people, and sometimes I find myself coming home at regular white-collar hours. I still like to … Continue reading »

love means never having to say…. “my soufflé deflated”
For the longest time I was adamant that a soufflé be made, and a chocolate one at that. To put it blindly I was overeager and had already planned the photo shoot – props and all. I was giddy with delight till I realised that hey, I hadn’t yet baked the intoxicating thing. A lot … Continue reading »
stewed beancurd meat rolls
When a moment fails to be captured on camera in a beautiful way, a little part of me dies inside. Although I should really be careful saying that, because I take a lot of crappy pictures, and I don’t want to end up a shrivelled shell of a body. God would “tsk tsk” me and … Continue reading »
late night soup
This really isn’t a Chinese soup, I have to say. If anything, it’s……….Pan-Asian? Lip-smacking it is. Late Night Soup (or soups you can make with leftovers & things in your fridge) Chicken stock cubes Yellow onions Celery Carrots Enokitake (mushrooms) Turmeric Coconut milk Fishballs Tau Pok (I actually do not know how to describe, but … Continue reading »
potatoes in their jackets, segue…. heaven?
This happens to me once in a while, though I never thought it would happen like this. Not being able to think of something to write about. Certainly, it’s a little scary, seeing it up close for the first time, but I suppose it’s just one of those every day things, like your hair falling … Continue reading »
yes i checked, coonies is a bad word
My first attempts at anything always invariably leave me slack-jawed in bemusement because I have some sort of superpower. No, not the kind that causes ingredients to move by themselves and cakes to arise out of thin air, a la Sleeping Beauty’s fairy godmother. And no, not of the kind that induces all kinds of … Continue reading »
2 dollar zen
Usually when it comes to procuring items for use in the kitchen, I apply neither restrictions nor limits. I get a giddy high when purchasing pots and pans, and an equal devilish delight in massaging fruits and coaxing bottles of condiments into my grocery basket. When I came by this product, like two eyes meeting … Continue reading »
puff the magic beignet
When I was young my mother told me, whatsoever you dislike in life, will end up in prominent shade in your life. I didn’t believe her, of course, as all young lambs don’t, and soon enough I found myself biting my lip and thinking she might be right. Just as I have been reinforcing my … Continue reading »
earl grey vanilla milk
Milk can’t get any better than this, right? Wrong. I drink milk on a hazard level, to be sure. I practically drank a near litre of it today, straight from the supermarket carton. I’ve been told that fresh, fresh milk (from the cow but pasteurised or at least sterilised in some way before consumption) is … Continue reading »
midnight chocolate chip cookies
I can smell a habit forming a mile away. Better yet, I can smell chocolate a mile away. Cooking at night serves no real purpose, unless you’re preparing a dish in advance. And it’s no fun. Baking, however, seems to be best done in the evening, or early morning. I don’t know if this is … Continue reading »
