Our Labor’s Day lunch, prepped by Sherilyn – stir-fried assortment of homemade pastas that she hand-made a few days ago with olive oil, garlic, fresh button mushrooms, bacon, lemon zest, lemon juice and black pepper.
Dinner: oven-grilled salmon, sauteed organic long beans with minced meat and organic miso, steamed egg with minced pork and bitter melon soup.
Hubs bought this Oreo brownie from a friend’s teenage niece to support her fledgling home-based bakery. Our girls loved it. It’s the kind of dessert that teenagers will love – sweet, chocolaty, fudgy and with Oreos.
A little sweet note from the teenage baker:

Hubs bought takeout dishes from our favorite ‘tai chow’ restaurant, Sing Kee Kitchen, to support the lady boss who is also very supportive of hubs’ newly rolled out bento boxes. The lady boss and her hubby who’s a chef at the restaurant and us have become good friends over the years as we have been regulars at their restaurant for over a decade. When Cass was born 12 years ago, she gave me a bottle of Dom and an ang pow. In such difficult times, everyone has to support each other so that we all stay afloat and weather the stormy weather together.
The rainbow colored vegetables are from our own kitchen.
Basque burnt cheesecake, also made by hubs’ friend’s teenage niece, which hubs supported with a purchase. It looks a tad over burnt on top but the interior of the cake is very yummy.
Nasi Briyani from hubby’s shop, Catermate. On Friday, he rolled out his chef’s special Nasi Briyani bento box for delivery.
Most of hubby’s staff are now back at work and adjusting to their new normal – no more serviced catering but 100% preparation of food boxes now until a vaccine is found for Covid-19 and social gatherings are allowed again.

Wow, your Labor’s Day meals sound delicious! I love the variety of dishes, especially the homemade pasta with bacon and mushrooms—it must have been so flavorful. The support for local businesses, like the teenage baker and your hubby’s Nasi Briyani bento box, is really heartwarming. Everything looks amazing, from the grilled salmon to the Basque cheesecake!
