Happiness is returning home to a hearty bowl of herbal soup, lovingly brewed by le mum 🥰

 

She stayed up waiting for me (her bedtime is 9pm) and made sure I finished it because she said today is 补冬 day

 

Today marks the beginning of winter according to the farmer's calendar, and the old folks believe that it's the best time to take tonic 进补 to nourish your body #立冬补冬

 

Blessed 立冬, dajia!

Le mum made a batch of these last week and it didn't turn out as fluffy as she wanted. The first batch was much denser but strangely, her kampung kakis loved the texture wor!

Me? I thought she was testing if I could tell what she was making (I asked her why she sliced huat kueh this way) #被骗太多次 #假扮发糕的黑糖糕

She made a second batch days later with a new packet of yeast and this time she was happy with the texture, so happy until she made a 3rd batch after that.

Presenting her 黑糖糕 v3 that got the dad asking for more because it's reduced sugar #吃甜品脾气好
#吃甜品心情好

I am waiting her to make v4 coz got chance I will get 馬來糕 texture next round :P

Recipe coming soon 😉

Missing this Chinese burger 老潼光肉夹馍 coz the Clementi stall that recommended is no longer operating 😢

Found this one located inside SMU Koufu Food Court, at the Chinese food stall which is always buzzing with long queue esp during lunch time.

Generous filling and very juicy too, except the flatbread is abit tough and not as flaky 😉

Not gonna lie, I am not good with saying goodbyes so I sweeten it up by sending my favourite tarts on separate days to the work family and friends, in an attempt to make the farewell less bitter 🫣

Thank you Juan and Chee Keong for accommodating my special requests and for the beautiful and yummy mini tarts!

End of a chapter and to new beginnings 🎉

We have heard that the human body is regulated by the circadian rhythm, which controls the sleep-wake cycle but I secretly suspect is also controls our food cravings, like bak zhang, even though dragon boat festival 端午 haven't arrived yet. It's delayed this year due to the extra lunar 2nd month…

But special thanks to Jolyn from for sending their festive dumplings combos over, allowing us to satisfy our cravings first 😊

They have curated two combos, which feature their Hokkien and Nyonya rice dumplings along with their silver fish chili sauce and signature dish. Combo A includes ngoh hiang 五香, while Combo B includes hei zou 虾枣. The items are frozen and vacuum-packed, and reheating is super easy.

Order by 11 Jun to enjoy 15% early bird discount 😊

Heard from mum that my late maternal grandma 外婆 used to enjoy having her savory bak zhang with sugar. What about you? Do you have any special way of having these?

For me, I like to pair rice dumplings with traditional Chinese pu erh tea, and coincidentally, that's what 茗 in 茗香 (Chinese name of Beng Hiang) stands for 😉.

Okay, let's go 品茗茶、吃香粽!

I have been abstaining from carbs of late, but when mum said she cooked kalipng, I raced home immediately after work 😝

is a phrase I adopted (是 adopt, 不是 copy ok) from my ex-colleague-turned-friend many many many years ago , which I often use to motivate people around me and myself.

So when I learned that a Tiktok user had copied my reel on mum's achar and then blocked me when I asked her to remove the content, I reported the infringement of copyright to Tiktok because mah 😜

Despite thinking it would be a futile attempt since online content can easily be replicated and distributed these days, I tried anyway because, you know, 😉.

After almost a̶n̶ ̶e̶t̶e̶r̶n̶i̶t̶y̶ ̶l̶a̶t̶e̶r̶ forgetting about the incident, I was delighted to receive a reply from Tiktok informing me that justice had been served 🫡

Now I have received questions about the chilli that was used in this recipe, and I shared about my mum's chilli base. But did you know that the actual chilli sauce used in the achar recipe video was actually the leftover chilli that comes along with our laksa yong tau fu (see 2nd pic)?

The TikTok email bearing the good news came when my company was organising a "Save It, Don't Waste it" random draw and I happily submitted the achar as my entry because this recipe was made using leftover vegetables, fruits and chilli sauce 🤭

And yes, I was one of the winners.

Eh, I think there weren't many participants in the random draw, that's why I won.

Eh, but I also think it's because...

I had an unexpected visitor this CNY and after two courses of antibiotics and pred, I think MrUninvited is finally checking out 😤

This recent lung infection was the primary reason why I am abstaining from chicken as it aggravates my cough.

In TCM context, when you are recovering from an illness, pathogen might still be lingering (“余邪”未清) [like some times you are supposed to check out of your hotel but then you request late checkout you know?]. Certain food/fruit might aggravate/trigger symptoms (启动“伏邪”) when you consume them at this stage as it topples the balance of the internal organs (e.g. 诱发肝火旺盛 etc).

To someone who is healthy, these trigger food (发物) would not affect them, it only applies to those who are still recovering.

I am no TCM expert but I do subscribe to this theory after a few episodes of being stubborn/t-key/iron teeth/铁齿 😬

Ps. Actually chilli is also another trigger 🤫 but but but how to resist?

This was taken last Dec, featuring Le Mum’s nasi lemak on Urban - Round Coupe Plate 23.5cm in Coral Noir from

Can’t wait for the unexpected visitor to check out FULLY so that the 🐔 and 🌶️feast can begin and nope, no further late checkout is going to be entertained!

Have a blessed Fried Day, dajia!

Mum joined her kampung friends for a morning walk and brought back some leaves that she has been talking to me about during our recent chat



According to her, the food pedlars back in the old days will pack food items using these leaves and somehow the chai tow kway/char kway teow/ tasted so much better then #记忆中的味道

And and it’s like zero cost for the food pedlars then because these leaves were very widely available along road side - and I confirm at that time they do not charge additional for dabao/takeaway 🫣

Too help her daughter w̶h̶o̶ ̶g̶r̶e̶w̶ ̶u̶p̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶e̶r̶a̶ ̶w̶h̶e̶n̶ ̶h̶a̶w̶k̶e̶r̶ ̶s̶t̶a̶r̶t̶e̶d̶ ̶u̶s̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶p̶l̶a̶s̶t̶i̶c̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶b̶r̶o̶w̶n̶ ̶p̶a̶p̶e̶r̶ relate, le mum happily zhng-ed the fried fritters with the leaf 😅

Thank you for always telling me food stories and sharing with me a piece of your tamjiak childhood 🥰😘

Ps. Mum said you can still find alot of these leaves along South Buona Vista Road (99弯 stretch).

Pps. I spotted some outside NUH.

Ppps. Eh, I think safer to bring your own container (not leaves) to dapao food esp for soupy items.

One of the reasons why I dun like school term is because of the crowds and long queues at the canteens during lunch time but thank God for smart dining apps that allowed me to 明目张胆地 “cut queue”!

Order your preferred item from your preferred stall before making your way to the canteen and wait for your queue number to be called when you reached.

I cheated by ordering when I was there and managed to get my item within 5 minutes (if I were to queue, I think there are 10+ people in front of me 🫣

Only qualm is uncle only feature some items in the app and heng ahh! The pork ribs noodles is one of them

As usual springy and well flavoured noodles and i counted more than 8 pieces of soft bone ribs! Uncle 你到底赚什么? #良心事业

19/01/2023

I first heard about the term social enterprise when I was doing my postgrad & Building Social Entrepreneurship was our chosen topic for one of my modules then.

I remem reading about the good works done by change agents such as Muhammad Yunus on microfinancing to help the women in Bangladesh attain financial independence & Benny Se Teo @ Eighteenchefs inspiring troubled youths & people with conviction backgrounds to find alternative positive ways to reintegrate back into society. They all have one common social mission, that is, to address real & unsatisfied social needs.

A coffee shop nestled in the old neighbourhood of Lengkok Bahru, is another social enterprise that I came across recently, thanks to the sharing by a sis-in-christ in my BSF group.

Frankly speaking, I was a lil overwhelmed trying to digest what they are doing from serving
halal nasi padang by day & Peranakan food by night to the public, to offering aged & low-income residents nearby jobs in the kitchen, to launching dementia prevention activities as well as providing mentorship on operating a food business to keen residents. Their (just a few units away) serves crepe suzette, waffles, pancakes & all day breakfast by day & hosts pte dinners at night - proceeds go towards funding The Saturday Movement. A lot of ideas & work towards “fostering a kind, caring & inclusive world where nobody gets left behind”.

It’s a long journey & self-sustainability is what they hope to achieve - to continue to fund the movement & show “unconditional love” regardless of religion or race!

I have tried the crepe suzette & brunch at the cafe & also the Peranakan dinner menu at the coffee shop on separate occasions - My advice is to bring more friends so that you can order more dishes to share, like what I did (love the otah & sotong dish esp!) :)

Do support them if you happen to be near the hood!
