It’s Children’s Day today, meaning it’s already October – the last third month of the year. We are nearing the end of the year! I am not looking very forward to 2027, mainly because it’s PSLE year for the boy, and I’m really not sure about what to expect for him and for myself as well, being a full time mum at home. I’m hoping that all these cooking will help to ease my mind a little and feed the family well too.
I first tried making these rice balls because the boy kept complaining about his school meal caterer serving up horribly plain and tasteless food. I thought these rice balls were easy enough to make yet really tasty, without needing too much of a fuss in the kitchen.
Here’s a home-cooked bak kut teh for those of you who love soup-based dishes. The Songfa brand bak kut teh mix packs a punch – you can drink many bowls of it and not get greasy or sick of it. This take on bak kut teh fuses both Chinese and Japanese flavours. It uses wheat soba noodles for dipping into the bak kut teh, much like how the Japanese uses the same noodles to dip into the sauce before sluriping the noodles up. It’s a brand new experience, but flavours are kept traditional and authentic.

Here’s another attempt at trying out new places to do my morning jogs in Singapore.
September school holidays is over. The boy and I had a great time going for outings in Singapore. It’s amazing how many things there are to do in Singapore alone, so there’s no real need to travel overseas at all. Plus, it didn’t rain much at all throughout the week. The rain kind of held out until a rainpour finally happened on Friday and Saturday. Otherwise, it was bright and sunny all week long. Nice!
