Recipe: Chilli.

We had some tins of 'just past their best-by date' beans and decided we may as well use them before they got way overdue. I'm not usually fussed about expired stuff and prefer to trust my eyes, nose and tongue before throwing it out. You can tell on sight if it looks wrong - bloated …

Staying Home.

Singapore is not under lockdown but like most families, we're trying to stay home as much as possible. We still go out for groceries since we've refused to give in to panic buying. It is clear that there is enough to go around at the supermarkets but sadly, many have been taking it upon themselves …

Recipe: Cantonese Beef Stew.

I made this a while back, before the coronavirus became a hot topic of nearly every country in the world. What better time to get in the kitchen and cook than now right? I get that it is frustrating staying home most of the time but in Singapore, we're blessed to still be able to …

Recipe: Beef Stew

Last weekend, we gathered around the table yet again for another cook-in dinner with friends. Last month, we had Dad's braised pork belly and Mum's chap chye. This time, we settled on Beef Stew and Focaccia. Since there was going to be 10 of us, Dad and I decided to split the work and each …

Spoiling Ourselves.

Seeking the Rainbow has been taking up most of my time of late, but I realise how important as well it is to make time for family. The second half of last week was well spent, and Florian and I bid goodbye to the weekend spoiling ourselves. In fact, just being with family has spoilt …

Recipe: Spaghetti Al Ragu

We've been staying with my parents for over a month now - For Florian, it's been just over a week. After confinement, Mum did most of the cooking for dinner. I made Cashew Chicken the other evening for everyone, since my dear husband is a fan of it. Last Friday, I decided to made a …

Steps Forward.

The struggle to not keep looking back is real. A few night ago, I laid in bed crying inconsolably over our babies once again. I cried because I had convinced myself in that moment that I was the reason they are no longer here. Perhaps I could have done more. Only I was to blame. …

Cooking with Love.

Since the 11th of Feb, when my world suddenly seemed bleak for a moment, I feel a world away to how things felt to be only a month back. Funny how a single month can change so many things. Right now, I feel like I've found my centre. That's not to say I wasn't happy …

Cook-ins and Eat-outs.

Blogging has taken a bit of a back-seat owing to recent set-backs. I'd love to share a bit more but now isn't the time. Perhaps in a few months'. There's been a lot of things going on since the New Year for Flo and I. Most recently, I came back from a short 5-day trip …

Cashew Chicken.

Before Flo flew off to the land down under, and after the two thumbs up given to the ugly delicious sweet and sour chicken I made for him one evening, I decided to crack down and practice some more Asian cooking. This time, I zeroed in on Cashew Chicken. I always thought of Cashew Chicken …
