When she’s around, I don’t have to worry about food on the table – 3 meals a day. She prefers homemade breads, cakes, cookies and homecooked food. When she’s around, she would discourage eating out and even discourages buying bread, buns and cakes from the bakery for she will bake them.
Here are some of the goodies that she made recently:
Pandan chiffon cake (sugar and oil reduced)…
Oatmeal-cranberry-almond cookies (sugar reduced)…
Marble cake. She baked 2 loafs of marble cake and a batch of oatmeal cookies in one afternoon!
And this is my breakfast… now you see why I was darn worried when I hurt my back and could not exercise for 4 days. With so much good food, I cannot afford not to exercise for even 1 day.
Stir fried leek flowers with fresh ‘kai pay koo’ (chicken drumstick fresh mushroom) and fishballs…
Crispy pan fried fish…
Loh kai yake (braised chicken wings).
A very tasty bowl of ham choi – siew chee geok (preserved salted veggie soup with roast pork trotters, tomatoes and onions).
Now she’s gone and will be away in Hong Kong for several months. I shall miss having piping hot and delish homecooked food served 2x a day. I shall miss looking forward to what she’s whipping up in the kitchen and in the oven for us to have tea and breakfast every other day. I shall miss staying cool and sweat-free during meal times. Now, I have to take over the kitchen. I shall be sweaty and smell of oil all over during meal times as I will be the one slogging over the hot stove, boo hoo hoo…
