Spoilt Apples and New Droids

Posted on 14 Sep 201227 Jun 2019   by CY

After discovering our common favourite dish (aka steamed yam cake) at Qiji eatery, I was on the spur of the moment to want to whip up this dish at home. So once again, it was scouring on the Internet for

Hannah has been asking for blueberries as her ‘fruit fruit’ for her after-meal dessert at home. I guess she enjoys picking up the small, round, purple fruits with her small hand and popping them methodically into her mouth. :) Blueberries

Flowers and Goofy

Posted on 28 Aug 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

Weekend dinners are often early when I’m on cooking duties, since we often have early brunches before 10 AM. That usually leaves us with quite a bit of time in the early evening to bring Hannah out on walks either
