We hardly cook elaborate meals these days. Ever since Maria stopped coming three weeks ago because of bad morning sickness (she’s expecting her 2nd baby), we have not had any other helper coming in. It’s manageable without a helper if we don’t cook.
We get takeout or order from Shopee Food on most days and will blanch a green leafy veggie every day. Sometimes the mil will boil soup, steam fish, steam minced pork or cook porridge. At times I will cook some simple fish or chicken dishes using the air fryer and pressure cooker. Sometimes we’ll boil some dumplings (‘kau ji’), konjac noodles or instant noodles.
I found a seller whose Taiwanese wife makes top-notch Taiwan-style dumplings and have been buying by the bulk from this seller for the past one year. Everyone in the house loves his wife’s dumplings. And on most days, we will have food from hubby’s central kitchen.
Sherilyn and Cass love prepping their own meals. As Sherilyn has been super busy with school activities lately, she’s not cooked for us. However she’ll prep simple food for herself. Cass loves using the Air Fryer to air fry sandwiches, French Toast, broccoli, meat patties and even fried egg.
Here’s a throwback of the meals that we had recently.
From hubby’s kitchen – seafood spaghetti, Brazilian spinach salad with broccoli and cauli and fried onion rings.Big shrimps, mussels and lots of garlic in the seafood pasta. Very yums.MIL treated us to unagi don and sushi on one of the week days last week to celebrate her all-good blood test result.Dinner ordered from Tsuen Wan Restaurant via Shopee Food. I prefer ordering via Shopee Food vs Grab Food and Food Panda as SF has better deals and savings.Our lunch and dinner today from hubby’s kitchen – stir-fried assorted veggies and sambal big prawns.From hubby’s kitchen today – nasi lemak, chicken rendang and fried tofu.From hubby’s kitchen today – fried mackeral fish with chilies and spices. From hubby’s kitchen today – braised chicken with chestnuts.From hubby’s kitchen last Saturday – mini burger and mashed potato.Early dinner at a Filipino cafe two Saturdays ago, with just Sherilyn. While we had dinner, Cass spent two hours walking almost the entire neighborhood alone – something that she’s always wanted to do.Halo-Halo, a popular cold dessert in the Philippines, similar to our Ais Kacang. After Sherilyn and I were done eating at the Filipino cafe, hubs joined us and we segued into another restaurant for our second dinner, all because hubs was craving for Japanese food.Unagi don for hubsSherilyn and I shared a cup of chawan mushi as we were already full from our earlier dinner.
