The boy is having his year-end holidays, again. This marks the end of his lower primary days, and he will be going on to the upper primary levels from next year onwards. Time really flies. He can sleep by himself now, eat by himself, and do work or read by himself. Soon, he will be going out with his friends by himself, going home by himself and eating meals all by himself. I am trying to treasure all these precious times I have with him while I still can, before he becomes fully independent.

Oyakodon – Chicken & Egg Rice Bowl
The oyakodon is a type of Japanese rice bowl (donburi) which has both the parent and the child (chicken and egg) together in the same dish (hence the term ‘parent-and-child donburi’). It is basically a rice bowl that is topped with a kind of omelette that’s cooked and combined together with a light stock and sauce.
Baking Strawberry ‘Financiers’ With Love
A financier has French origin, a cake baked with ground almond, eggs and icing sugar and that takes the shape of a rectangular gold bar. I love how this cake comes with fruit toppings, because it makes them really palatable, attractive and irresistible for both the young and old.
The Classic Shakshuka
I love how busy this dish looks! There are red, green, white and brown; bright and dull all coming together in one pan. My favourites – avocado, egg, red chilli. And the best part of it is that I can eat as much as I can and stop whenever I am full.
