Classic Salmon Chowder

This is a very simple chowder recipe, cooked with our favourite fish at home – salmon. It makes for a full meal, with the potatoes and creamy soup, but if it’s not enough for you, you can serve it alongside crispy toasts. This chowder is great on rainy days because it warms my heart and soul. But how I wish it will stop raining soon. Mr sun, where have you gone?

Stuffed Tofu In Black Bean Sauce

It is still raining almost everyday. This week, I only got to cycle once (or twice?), but I managed to jog back home once as well. I used to try to jog home from work before I had a child too, once in a while, but that stopped after I had the boy because of the logistical arrangements to pick him up after school. Now that he’s much older, and in a student care nearer the house, I gave it a try again. It was tiring! But I was happy to have accomplished something that I haven’t done for the longest time in the new year. 🙂

The wars in Gaza and Ukraine are still going on, the Rohingyas are still being displaced and life still goes on.

Brain-Freeze Lime Sorbet

Just returned from a trip to Hong Kong. It was tiring this time, but nevertheless a good, long enough break from work, a much desired one that I have been looking forward to. Sorry for the two weeks long hiatus that I took from blogging about food and recipes too!
