Easy Cantonese Style Steamed Salmon

This week was the second week of my new job as a full-time mum. I think I’m getting the hang of it, busying myself in the morning with things to do and adventures to have, and then tutoring the boy in the afternoon. There’s a little bit more cooking to do everyday, with lunch on some days to take care of as well. These lunches are usually simple affairs – pesto pasta with mushrooms, fried rice omelette rolls (which failed miserably in my first attempt last week and turned out to be just fried rice) and many more to come.

Steamed Rice Pork Balls

One week down! I did quite a lot during the past week: collected and bought things I have not been able to collect and buy while I was still working, went jogging in the morning, went swimming at the OCBC Aquatic Centre (and came out with a panic attack) and cleared out all our wardrobes. I also finally reached out for help to replace the faulty tap in the kitchen. It’s been dripping nonstop for a week now (or more?) and it’s been painful watching all the water go to waste. Now that it’s been replaced by a much trendier black tap, I’m really happy and feeling all accomplished.

All of these, on top of being a full-time mum for my boy, to study with him and make sure he does all his homework correctly.
