If you read the earlier post, Homecation and Home Fiestas, you might remember the Thai food festival at home. The challenge in that meal was to cook a healthier version of each dish as well, so there was the regular version and the special version (with dietary restrictions: low fat, no red meat and lowContinue reading “The Healthier Choice but Still so Good”

Homecation and Home Fiestas
Holiday season in another year of the pandemic with travel restrictions means opportunities to look at different ways of resting and re-charging.

Woks of Mercy
I was reading an article on the works of mercy which starting off with the woks of mercy, which, as an editor, I recognised straight away as a typo error. (Life as an editor can have its scary moments.) I told a friend about the funny error, and she said: “I was thinking of mercifullyContinue reading “Woks of Mercy”
Curry puffs and Empanadas
At first glance, an empanada looks very much like a curry puff. Curry puffs are an all-time-favourite in Singapore – with potato curry, chicken curry or tuna curry filling. There is puff-pastry curry puff which is baked, and there is dough-pastry curry puff which is deep fried. There is also a flaky dough-pastry curry puffContinue reading “Curry puffs and Empanadas”

Toasted Waa Bananas and Train Fried Rice
Being in lockdown can make some people go bananas, but in a lockdown bananas can also be a source of joy. P’Pew, my dietitian friend, stopped sending me recipes from Bangkok when the Covid situation was getting worse. She stopped experimenting with new dishes as she had to stick to what was available in theContinue reading “Toasted Waa Bananas and Train Fried Rice”
Memories of Lockdown Happy Meals
My friend Emily asked me to write about simple home-made Lockdown meals. I enjoyed cooking during Circuit Breaker (Singapore’s lockdown period last year) because everyone at home looked forward to mealtimes. You could say I had a captive audience at my mercy. It was a chance to bring a bit of joy and relief toContinue reading “Memories of Lockdown Happy Meals”
Pretty Maids All In A Row
By Andrea Pavee Sundays and Public holidays are my challenge days. It is then that I attempt to cook up something special for the family. Last Sunday, it was Italian (our favourite), again.
