Italian Lobster & Corn Risotto

My birthday week came and went. I kind of enjoyed myself most of the week, except for an episode which I had with the boy. Otherwise, it was good and mostly relaxing. I was blessed with a not-so-kind-but-good-enough and extremely hot weather which allowed me enough time to cycle from East Coast to Changi Village through the Changi Bay Point, passing through the Jurassic Miles on the way. I also had a once in a lifetime Omakase at the Torio Restaurant hidden in the Links Hotel. Even though my visit to the Somerset Design Library was cut short by some unforeseen emergencies (which turned out not to be an emergency), I could have another afternoon browsing through some books at Kino on Wednesday afternoon.

Beef Maggie Mee Medallion

There is something to celebrate this weekend, not just because it is Easter but also because we finally decided to buy a new convection oven. The old convection oven that we’ve been using for over sixteen years suddenly popped twice, once when I was trying to heat up breakfast on Wednesday morning and once when I was cooking rice in it. The power in the house tripped both times as well and we’ve had to bump around to get the lights and electricity back on. It was kind of dangerous and scary, so we decided to call it a day for the oven this week.
