Throwback Snaps

A good friend became a grandmother for the first time and sent us a lovely baby full-moon package on her grand daughter’s full-moon. The full-moon package came with a whole fried chicken, Nasi Kunyit (turmeric rice), red eggs and angku kuih. Everyone ate all the nice parts of the fried chicken and left the breast, which was dry and hard, untouched. Chef S repurposed the dry breast meat and bones into another sumptuous dish the next day.

Instead of using turkey to cook Turkey And Vegetables Barley Soup, a dish that the girls’ grand aunt will cook every year after Christmas using leftover roast turkey, Chef S cooked Chicken And Vegetables Barley Soup.

Chef S dumped in the leftover fried chicken breast and added lots of vegetables, pumpkin, onions, sweet corns and barley into the pot of soup. She also fried some chicken drummets and added them into the soup.
My hearty bowl of Chicken & Vegetables Barley Soup. It’s so delish and nourishing that I can eat this everyday. I ate this two days in a row.

2022 Winter Solstice Festival Dinner at Seng Kee Kitchen:

For once in a very, very long time, there was a complete headcount at the dining table on Winter Solstice Day (22 Dec 2022). With Alycia in university now, Sherilyn prepping for SPM and hubs who’s tied down with work, it’s extremely difficult for everyone to be present together for a meal or for outings.
Everyone’s favorite – steamed free-range chicken from our favorite neighborhood restaurant. The chicken meat is smooth, juicy and has a distinct aromatic chicken flavor, something that’s missing in regular hormones-and-antibiotics-fed chickens.

On the house – handmade and homemade Tong Yuen from the affable lady boss.

My daily gut-loving dessert ~ sugar-free yoghurt from Farm Fresh (made from only milk and probiotics with nothing else added), macadamia, melon seeds, organic black sesame paste and a drizzle of Gula Melaka syrup. This aids in promoting bowel regularity.
