Lemon Smoothie With A Spicy Kick

Posted on 26 June, 2025 by cllism

I recently just came back from a short holiday in Bali. There, we had opportunities to taste some of their local cuisines and drinks. I really love how they put ginger in some of their dishes and drinks to spice things up a bit, especially their beverages such as in mixed energiser drinks, ginger tea (plus ginger) and chocolate dessert (plus ginger). The spice in these drinks immediately wakes you up and gets you energised. I had a cup of ginger tea right before my massage at the resort, and I loved it lots. I wish I can have a cup of it every day.

They are also commonly found in hawker centres or foodcourts, at stalls that sell drinks and light snacks including buns and dim sums. Not all of them are nice though, and I must say, the really nice ones are hard to find.

Avocado Again! In My Egg Salad

Posted on 24 May, 2025 by cllism

Yes, another avocado recipe – a very simple one where you just combine everything and either eat it as it is, or use it as a spread on your toasts. The use of avocado makes this egg salad slightly different from other types of salad because it tastes a lot ‘creamier’ because of the flesh from the green fruit. Which is also why you don’t need any mayonnaise or salad cream in this salad at all (let the avocados do their job!)
