I've been craving poached egg with hollandaise sauce for ages and since I'm on medical leave this whole week, I decided to try my hand at it!  Tada...my first successful attempt!  It came out perfect! Burst the yolk and it came out runny. Yum!  I topped it off with a bit of black pepper and mayo (I didn't have hollandaise sauce so this was the best substitute) and paired it with roast beef ham.  Mm...there's just something about poached egg that just makes you happy.  :)  So here's how I did...

I'm so sick of my weight going up while I'm still exercising!  I do know that it's a hormonal issue and while my gynae tries to find out exactly what is wrong with me (I had to do a minor surgery on Mon), I'm going on a new diet regime that involves unprocessed foods and I'm cutting down on soy products because they contain phyto-estrogens which may cause my hormones to be further unbalanced. Essentially, I am cutting out: 1.  Processed cheeses such as Chesdale etc 2.  Hams 3.  Canned foods 4... Read Full Story

Adding to my 15 minutes of fame!!  Tada...my very first video clip! Not that I was doing the filming but it's the first time that I'm in a clip.  It still feels weird to see me in a video and I do know that I look stiff.  I was swaying forward and backwards a lot so my colleague asked to just stop moving.  Another friend told me that the transition could've been done better and I agree with her...but nevertheless, we're not a professional film crew and I'm just glad that the educational suite...

It's the new year and as I woke up only at 1pm on New Year's Day, the parents and I decided to have lunch at Anchorpoint. There was a new sushi bar, Sushi Odayama (if I remember the name correctly), that we were hoping would open on the New Year and lo and behold...they decided to do their soft opening on 01.01.2012!! Above is their California Roll, which is very reasonably priced at $6.80 for 8 pieces.  The layer of rice is very thin and it's chock-full of avocado and salmon!  The owner also... Read Full Story

How did you bring in the new year? For me, I went to my bestie's place where she also invited a few other friends over and we went to a nearby zi char place for dinner. Most of the stuff were the usual fare but we had to take a photo of this: Have you ever seen a heart-shaped yam ring?  Well, I can't call it a ring now, can I?  Taste test - so so. I suspect they over blended the yam in a food processor.  That's a big no-no because that releases too much of the starch granules and the whole... Read Full Story

It has been months of planning with The Bouquet People and a week of (almost) non-stop jewellery making (my right hand still feels a little cramped...hahaha) but it's almost done!  We did our photo shoot yesterday and here's a sneak as to what's in store for 2012! Above, our photographer Conrad setting up and checking on the lighting while we get our stuff arranged. Boo Boo the cat getting into our photo shoot and she's very fascinated with our photographer. Conrad's moving around our hand... Read Full Story
