Where do I even begin? We last left of when Bizou died. I never told what exactly happened. I guess five months ago it was difficult for me to put in in writing. Even today, I get teary just thinking about it, but hopefully this will explain my absence for so long. The morning that [...]

Do you ever feel like yelling “STOP!”? Time to myself has been scarce for a number of months. There was moving house, holidays with the family, preparing the other house to be sold… Then, for the last month or so it’s been the new job. Working crazy hours has been tiring but I would be [...]
How to Cure a Dumpling Addiction: Crystal Prawn Dumplings (Har-Gow) with XO Sauce

A year ago I attempted to make har gow and failed miserably. It might have been because I used wheat flour instead of wheat starch and the resulting dough was so sticky that I had to throw the “ball of glue” away. The experience was enough to turn me away from trying to make them [...]

Sometimes desperation drives us to do things we normally wouldn’t do in the right frame of mind. A few months ago our bedroom door got stuck shut and I couldn’t enter the room. I asked my husband to try and open the door but he couldn’t. “What about using a screwdriver?” I asked him. After [...]
Homemade Prawn Balls

I think that at some point in time, most of us have openly defied our parents. When I was growing up I had friends who would skip school, or go out with boys their parents banned them from seeing. Some of them take up drinking and go out past their curfews. Me? My form of [...]

Is it any surprise that my most favourite presents to give (and receive) during Christmas are cookbooks? I consider myself a pretty good judge cookbook character. For example, my brother who is a bachelor loves the four ingredients or less series and his idea of cooking is to buy a chicken, buy a packet of [...]
Dare Me …. Tomislav’s Basmati Risotto with Prawns

Is it persistence or stubbornness? Maybe both? When I have an idea in my head, I’ll do whatever it takes to get it (all within legal means of course!) and I never back down from a dare. Ever. Every now and again these two traits can get me into trouble. Like the time I confidently [...]

The other day I spent more than sixteen hours trying to get my house in order. It had been awhile since I did a MAJOR clean up but I knew it was time after speaking to a work colleague. We were chatting one morning and I mentioned that I needed to get my house more [...]
Mum’s Ketchup Baked Cheesy Prawns

I knew I was a bit of a condiment anomaly, and more so after reading Thomas Gladwell’s essay, The Ketchup Conundrum. Give me a plate of fries and I’ll always ask for some garlic mayonnaise over ketchup. Part of Gladwell’s essay explores why ketchup is so loved by everyone else. It’s because in one go, [...]
Kulinarya Club Celebrates Noche Buena

Noche Buena is a traditional celebration in the Philippines. Literally meaning “Good Night”, this usually entails families gathering on the eve of Christmas for a late family meal. Growing up, I had two Noche Buenas. The first one was celebrated with my Dad’s family and the second and later one, with my Mom’s. For Noche [...]
