| Unlike my other 老火汤 recipes which require long hours of simmering, this is a relatively no-frills soup which can be done in a jiffy. So, if you are pressed for time yet craving for soup, this is the recipe for you. This is quite a light soup as the main ingredients are just Tofu and Seaweed. You may like to add some seafood, meatballs or even Yong Tau Foo to make the taste more robust. I happened to have some Prawns and Fish Maw lying around in the fridge so I added those into the soup as well. Here are some benefits of Seaweed: - Prevents fat absorbtion - Reduces water retention - Promotes mental youthfulness I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Bon appetit! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I was at the supermarket choosing Spinach for this recipe when I noticed that it was labeled as 笕菜 on the packaging. This confuses me as I always thought that Spinach is 菠菜 in Chinese? Can someone enlighten me whether 笕菜 and 菠菜 are the same? Anyway, here are some benefits of the Spinach: - Loaded with flavonoids which protects the body from free radicals - Contains anti-inflammatory properties which acts against Arthritis, Osteoporosis, Migraine and Asthma I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Bon appetit! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| If you are a Dim Sum lover, this Steamed Spare Ribs in Black Bean Paste (豉汁蒸排骨) would be no stranger to you. We would definitely order a steamer of this whenever we have Dim Sum. If we cook this at home, we love to drench the sauce over white rice and the plate would be polished so clean that we could see our reflection in it! Do not steam the Spare Ribs for too long or the meat would 'toughen' and depending on the saltiness of your Black Bean Paste, adjust accordingly how much to put in. Just experiment abit to get the taste you prefer! I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Bon appetit! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Mum and I loved both Taro and Sago so I thought I would make us this dessert! To be honest, I did not follow the recipe exactly. I first divided the Taro into three equal parts. I cubed 2/3 of it, then steamed it for approximately 20 minutes together with the remaining 1/3. After the steaming was done, I mashed the 1/3 with the back of a wooden spatula as I wanted a more creamy dessert. The water and Coconut Milk were brought to a boil and I added in the cubed and smashed Taro while preparing to cook the Sago in a separate pot of water. While waiting for the Sago to be cooked, I realised that the cubed Taro keeps sticking to the bottom of the pot so I have to keep stirring it. In the end, the cubed Taro was way too overcooked and most of it has disintegrated due to the constant stirring. Therefore, my advice is to cook the Sago first before putting the steamed Taro AND cooked Sago into the Coconut Milk at the same time. My dessert still taste fine only that it is way too creamy! I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Bon appetit! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Capricorn Caves
Just a recap from Part I, we were chilling at Zarraffa's Coffee using their wifi while waiting for the coach to bring us to the Capricorn Caves.
I was actually disappointed to know that we are going to a cave and not to Keppel Island. I mean, what is there to see inside a cave, right?
How wrong was I!
As I found out later, Capricorn Caves is an ancient geological landscape formed from underwater coral beds over 360 million years ago.
A young cement mixer was working by the staircase landing when an old man appeared and insinuated for a blow job.
After being turned down, the old man offered to service the young man instead. When that was rejected as well, he offered to pay the young man for his services.
Despite the young man's repeat rejection that he is not that kind of person, the old man persisted and suggested that they do it on the staircase landing. He even invited the young man to his house.
What will the conversation lead to?
Watch the video below.
How often have you encountered people asking you the obvious? Well, I get that all the time!
Sometimes, it can be funny yet at times, it could be downright baffling!
I guess asking the obvious is how some people break the ice when they have nothing else to start a conversation with?
What do you think?
For most parents, I guess one of the most challenging task faced while raising a child has got to be during feeding times.
The child would be running all over the place and the poor parents would be trailing behind trying to get him/her to eat another spoonful.
However, parents now no longer have to be tormented by this problem.
Here's introducing a way how you could feed your child effortlessly!
Do give this unique way of feeding a try to see if the little tyke would comply?
Remember to share this method with your friends and leave me a message if you are successful!
Walao eh!
It is a term so familiar with Singaporeans and Malaysians alike.
This expression is so versatile that you can use it in almost any occasion!
Just under what circumstances will you say "Walau eh"?
F1 Pit where the open house took place
Hello, here are more photos from the AOH 2012. These are the remainder photos that do not make it to the previous post. There are more, of course, but most of those do not make the cut.
Enjoy!
4am at Farnborough Beach
Just before going to sleep, I set the alarm at 4am so I could wake up in time to catch the sunrise at Farnborough Beach.
I only had a few hours of shut eye as I was watching Top Gear on TV in my room with another friend who did not go drinking at the town with the rest of our friends.
As the resort was just right next to the beach, the seabreeze was howling throughout the night. It is kind of scary hearing that outside your balcony as we hardly encounter such wind speeds in Singapore.
The sky was still dark and very chilly as I made my way to the beach.
The warning sign at the sentry heading towards Sam Hill
You know what? This post is six months overdue!
That is how long I have put off writing the R&R bit of my Exercise Wallaby trip!
Refresh your memories here:
After almost two weeks, we are finally leaving Sam Hill. This was my second time leaving here and I guess it is for good.
It would be very unlikely that I will return here for a third time.
The SMURF Flavored Yoghurt
What is your favorite yoghurt flavor?
Chocolate? Vanilla? Or one of those fruity flavors like Mango or Peach?
Why not try "SMURF" for a change?
The Hong Kong Egglet is essentially a kind of egg waffles which has been a very popular Hong Kong street snack since the 1950s.
The batter of egg, sugar and flour are poured into a special honeycomb-shaped waffle maker and then toasted to a golden hue similar to that of an eggshell.
Because of the unique depressions on the lids of the waffle maker, the finished waffle resembled a cluster of eggs hence, it is also known as the 鸡蛋仔 (loosely translated as Little Eggs, or Gai Daan Zai in Cantonese).
今天向大家推荐这部命名为『我的爸爸』的短片。
短片中，一名小学生的作文题目正是《我的爸爸》。
他先描述了爸爸的样子，再道出他与爸爸之间的关系。
他从小就在一个单亲家庭里成长， 并由爸爸父兼母职的把他带大。
原来，爸爸不仅是爸爸。他也是级任老师，更是学校的训导主任！
We had an early Father's Day celebration dinner over at Siam Kitchen's Lot One outlet two nights ago.
The fragrance of Lemongrass greeted our noses the moment we walked into the restaurant and it instantly reminded me of a... foot massage palour! Haha!
The ambience is quite pleasant and I am attracted to those large window panes.
Although the restaurant is not very spacious, I do not feel very cram in there. Or maybe it's because we were early (about 6pm)?

Today's main ingredient is a little prickly. I did not know that the Cactus could be eaten, much less turned into a soup, and a nutritious one at that. I was at my sister's place the other day when she asked me to stay for dinner as she is making this soup. My jaw dropped when I heard that. Never before in my life have I ever heard of "Cactus Soup". I did not stay for dinner that day although it did pique my curiousity for the next few days. Thus, when I saw Cactus pads for sale at the supermarket this morning, I decided to buy a piece home to try it out. Cactus Soup is really fuss-free and easy to make but most of all, it is very affordable and nutritious. Did you know that the Cactus contain beta carotene, iron, some B vitamins and are good sources of both vitamin C and calcium? Here are more benefits of the Catcus: - Reduces swelling - Expels heatiness - Strengthens immunity I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Bon appetit! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
