Culinary skill improved...

Date: 06/06/2020 (Sat)


I made otah in prata for tea break.

Damn nice de.

Wanted to order Kiap Taco after seeing Food King's but it was closed, we had AJ Mabooh Indian rojak but almost everything were sold out and we had pathetic tofu, egg and hot dog only, so sad.

Grocery delivery came around 9pm, so I packed until siao.

The mochi was an eye feast, so delicate, so cute. 

Red bean fillings.

Went NTUC, it's crowded like an ordinary weekend before CB.
But we made it as quick as possible and left within an hour.  Had been buying mains from online Singapore Home Cooks (SHC), so just grabbed some veg.  I was hunting for basil leaves but no where seen.  Gelatin powder is still out of stock.

On the way out ta bao dinner. 

Luis's and his dad's ordered similar bento.
It's about $6 and I felt so bad cos I can prepare the same around $2 and taste so much better, but oh well, I need a break.  I think my culinary skills improved tremendously these 2 months lolxx..

Life saving fruit juice...

Date: 05/06/2020 (Fri)


I heated up left over aglio olio add on black pepper beef for Luis for lunch.

Myself, coffee and pandan soya chiffon from Swee Heng and dragon beer candy from Eileen. 
I was watching 传说中的陈芊芊 (The Romance of Tiger and Rose).  I like the female lead, though not the prettiest but her face very cute, unlike other plastic actresses.

Juicing.  Expensive cucumbers but very very fresh, so fresh that I could smell it when cut open.

Nice apples and juicy oranges from $2/5pcs fruit pack from NTUC Finest.
Sometimes a bit heart pain to spend so much money on juicing, this time was finally less guilty.  Juicing works the best on my butt compared to eating the fruits directly.  When I eat fruits I still gets constipation, juicing cleared my "path" lolxx...

Very pleased with my dinner.  Luis ate 2 big bowls of rice with his fav potato stew and eggs.
Cod was nice, just that the soya sauce turned "foggy" cos I cooked them together with oil, should had separated sauce from oil but I was too lazy.  CP wanton soup was effortless but the washing was very 要命 still.

5pcs of assorted fruits for $2 nia!

Date: 03/06/2020 (Wed)


Stir fried udon for my kids using up the last bit of IKEA meat balls
My kids are carnivores, else isn't it awesome to add in mushrooms and some greens?

Myself I had black glutinous rice porridge delivered from my kid sis.
I have to find out from her how she make this.  Cos I am not going to have this outside any more.  My sis is not a kitchen woman but she really rocks this, so yummy.  I have FOC and endless supply of coconut milk, I spam pour in, so shiok.....

Dinner time, crack knuckles at my lamb rack.  I was so gan jiong that I forgotten to take a pic of it when it was out of the oven.  Judging from the color, I SUCCEEDED!
This was the only tornado spaghetti I managed to tong, cos hubby walked in and slapped the rest of the pasta onto plates and took out lolxx.....  My aglio olio didn't quite make it in taste cos I was too cautious with the amount of olive oil and garlic, I think even salt I didn't add enough for the big amount of pasta.

This round's potato wedges were in perfect gold.  Cos they actually brown further even after taken out of the oil.
Best wedges ever till we chance upon one that can out win these from Angliss.  The dinner was quite close to cafe dinning standard liao.

I finally made my way to see my father, thank god he still recognize me.  He seemed to put on some weight, fingers gotten more deformed but can't help it.

Ordered dinner from Ah Lock Kitchen.
You are looking at 2 rice and 2 bee hoon soup.  I am not doing food photo shot, though it doesn't look impressive, taste not bad de, about $5 to $6 quite reasonable also.  We will be back for more.

After dinner, we went to nearby NTUC Finest (Woodgrove), I bought 2 bags of assorted fruits (5pcs) for $2 each.  Best deal ever!  Where to find such price sia!  I really hope and pray that it's a regular item and we will be back for more!  The lady working around said the fruits got slight flaws (dents) but still good for consume.  I cut up most of them for juicing the next day.  The oranges were very juicy, the apples were as good as those I buy for $1 each!  Imagine the amount of money I saved without sacrificing food quality.  I must grab more the next trip.

I will post some pics of the cut up fruits on the next post.

Can't sleep becos of a lamb rack...

Date: 02/06/2020 (Tues)


It's a very busy with door wide open for deliveries.

Lunch, fried rice with pan seared pork collar for the kids.

I ate konjac rice porridge with chopped spinach.
 I supposed my intestines and butt should love this.

Waffles delivery came.
It's a random order from a local singer Li Pei Fen's LIVE.


Kinda good for breakfast. 

Everything throw in soup with daishi powder, win liao.
I have no idea how I live without daishi powder last time.

Grilled bacon wrap asparagus, eat until shiok, also grilled drumplets from FarmPride at the same time.  Less cleaning up for this day without oily stove.

PapaVoo bought from his friend.

We were happy with both durian and cherries.

Singapore Home Cooks deliver came quite late after dinner.
I wasted no time to prepare the lamb rack.

The fragrance to oregano, thyme and rosemary herbs filled the kitchen. 
I think next time I am going to do the same for chicken.  I pray that I don't screw this up, I really can't afford to mess up this $58 lamb rack.

I actually went to bed worrying about the lamb rack in the fridge lolxx....

No country will let us in....

Date: 29/05/2020 (Fri)


Made this for Luis, tried to multi task and overcooked the scramble egg.  Arabiki hot dog was so juicy, where did the juice come from?? Lolxx...
The prata flowers were too difficult to cut.

So I god damn just pan fried the whole piece of frozen prata and kiap the whole dog for myself, just as good.

Darren gotten himself a desk top computer, waiting for another desk to house it.

My butt's condition not too good, so ate something light for dinner.
Ta bao tofu spinach soup.

Luis had KFC, that piece of chicken looked like a human heart lolxx...

I don't see how people are grieve over George Floyd's death.  They just took the chance to have fun and creating havoc.  US should be busy with it's own domestic problem now and stop meddling into other country's business.

Some poo at our corridor which we guessed could be a cat's. 
Called the Town Council whom came promptly to clear it.

Cooked simple dinner with pork collar which looked like beef.

Lovely peppers but had to put the rest into the freezer cos I use them so slowly.

Stir fried pork collar.

Stir fried cabbage which I love them to be very very soft.

Went to Changi Business Park's NTUC and surprisingly, it was soooo crowded, everybody shopping party.  But we gotten most things we needed except for gelatin powder.  We managed to get a socket tower, a new non-stick pan with a new spectula to go with, yay yay.  The previous tefal was badly tortured by me and died within half a year lolxx...

After that bought Song Fa BKT for dinner and I spend the night, packing the groceries.

FB a lot instead of watching drama these few days.

This pandemic will probably change the way people spend.
Quite some time ago, I remembered a cab driver around 50yo told me it's very difficult to save $1K per month even when he had managerial job.  Seriously???  I asked if he had heavy burden in the family, he said no, of course I didn't ask where all his money went lah.  People nowadays, see people go travel, they also follow, what ever people buy, they also must buy.  What's the point of flashing overseas photos and extravagant meals on social media when you don't even have enough to last for 1 year without a job?

If you don't have enough savings to last for 1 year, it's time to wake up and do some adjustments instead of begging from the gov.

And Singapore is not included. 
I thought our dorm Covid cases were none of my business, now then I realize with our remarkable daily high infected cases, no country in the right mind will allow Singaporeans to enter sia.

 When being vulgar can earn big bucks, what's happening to this world....

After 3 continuous of poo found at our corridor, Town Council loan us this device.


Hope it works.

Dinner was awesome with oyakodon and yong tau foo.  Most eggs were given to to Luis since we had 2 ebi.  How can I teach my son to eat seafood sia??

08/08/2026 My mentor AI-ed me this poster, so I just post up on my social media since I wasn't in mood to create my own. I don't nor...
