It’s mid-May and a hot weather for the past few weeks. The boy is done with his first semester assessments, so he can finally take a good break from studying (and his mum’s nagging). I can also finally take a break from the nagging and from his constant whining. It’s a win-win weekend. We also did something different – cycled from home to dinner at the in-laws’ place. It took about 2.5 hours in total back and forth, approximately 25km in total, although it’s because we made a slight detour to the National Stadium to listen to Lady Gaga’s rehearsal before her concert happens today. It was a great way to wind down after a tiring week.
Tteokbokki Bolognese With Cheese
白糖糕 (White Sugar Sponge Cake)
This is a traditional Chinese sponge cake that is steamed instead of baked. It uses yeast as its leavening agent, sugar, hot water and rice flour. These are very simple ingredients and steps involved though the process of fermenting it takes quite a while – usually about three hours.
Caprese Stuffed Avocado With Fresh Tomatoes & Mozzarella Balls
This is yet another of my favourite recipe – Caprese stuffed avocados with loads of vitamin Cs and freshness. There’s green, red, orange; there are fruits, vegetables and a sweet savoury dressing. Anyone who takes a mouthful of this will go mmmmmmm….
Roast Corn, Prawn, Pepper & Avocado Salad
I love avocados. I love roasted bell peppers. I love coriander. Mix them together and viola! They become a great salad. This recipe is really easy to make, and by itself actually makes for a great meal already. Yes, I can survive on salad alone for my meals, so I love fresh, simple dishes like this.
Curry Triangles
This weekend is Easter Friday and Easter Sunday holidays. Finally a long-awaited break from work so that we can wind down a bit from work. It’s been very sunny and hot with flashes of sudden and heavy showers in the afternoon. After having spent just a week in China which saw very cool and nice but sunny weathers (except on Friday) I had to take some time to get used to being back in humid hot Singapore.
