The mil is still feeling a tad under the weather, thus I am still in charged of cooking dinner every day. Â Thankfully it’s the school hols and the girls can help out in the kitchen. On some days, they would be very eager to help but on some days, gawd I have to holler at them and drag them into the kitchen as I would dragging a mule in, just like today!
Here are some of the dishes whipped up this week…
Taiwanese Lu Rou (braised pork)…
Sauteed cauliflower with Bunashimeiji mushrooms and carrot strips…
Tomyam chicken fillet with ladies fingers and Bunashimeiji mushrooms.  These mushrooms are on promotion at our neighborhood supermarket, thus I have been buying them and including them in my dishes everyday 😀  Why not when mushrooms are a good source of fiber, protein, vitamins and nutrients, right?
Bitter gourd omelette…
Much as I would like to put my legs up and just sit in front of my computer to do my work or simply go running with the girls downstairs or work out in the gym in the evening, when there’s a little crisis at home, sacrifices have to be made. Can’t wait for the mil to get well soon. I am pretty sick and tired of cooking.  Can’t wait to take a good break and enjoy the year-end celebrations and food outside the house 😀

Everything looks yums! Wish my kids would eat that! Per your other blog, great to see the girls helping out. Just some suggestions since u say the kitchen is too small….maybe invest in a movable kitchen island from Ikea. Food prep can be done from it and comes in handy as a serving or side table when u have company. We just had our kitchen renovated; still small as we couldn’t really expand but we had an island built in the eat-in area which has proved to be extremely useful! Also had a built-in hutch as well with an open area for making coffee/tea. My fave feature is that the island has USB ports!
Hey Chris, we have an Ikea movable kitchen island but we used that to put our stuff.. so it’s like a fixed cabinet/table now 😀 Unfortunately our kitchen is too small to install built-ins and islands. That’s one of the downsides of staying in a condo but we have learned to live in a small place. We enjoy the security and facilities a lot though. Your new kitchen sounds like a kitchen that I would want to stay in there all day!
