Hainanese Pork Chops

Posted on 11 Oct 2008   by Ling

Yang’s mother cooks great dishes. Matt can attest to that :) Recently, Yang missed Hainanese pork chops and asked me to try whipping up the dish. I bought too much pork (~450g) and hence had to remove the potato slices from the

Oh no, not from China again!

Posted on 9 Oct 2008   by Ling

Sigh, have to cross out another favorite food of mine because of the reputation of MIC (made in China) products. As Yang and I was eating our home-style stir-fry dish of sliced pork, asparagus and golden mushrooms for dinner just now, I became

Temperamental Theory

Posted on 7 Oct 200814 Jan 2010   by CY

One of the reasons why our family home at Lentor had a sizable library of books was because my elder brother and myself were avid book buyers and readers. Funnily though, for myself I wasn’t in the habit of re-reading

One ton of TLS

Posted on 6 Oct 2008   by Ling

Sheez, it had been a long, afternoon affair making wantons and soup! Had it not for the fact that I was relatively free today, I’d have made a mess out of the kitchen. The preparation of the pork broth for wanton soup was

Thus do all women

Posted on 3 Oct 200814 Mar 2018   by CY

If the theme in Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro was about the marital infidelity of men, his companion opera buffa, Così fan tutte, is about the infidelity of women.:) Così fan tutte, which loosely translated means “All women are alike”,

Apples, PCs, and a Girl in between

Posted on 2 Oct 200814 Jan 2010   by CY

Truth to tell, one of the ongoing discussions that gives me the laughs is the Apples vs PCs’war’.:) Now, that in itself has a bit of a history, and like a few of my other stories here, there was a

Simple ingredients but fantastic flavours!

Posted on 2 Oct 2008   by Ling

After an unsuccessful attempt at beef stew (I added too much red wine! Sobs!), I was determined to do it right. But this time, I chose something easier – chicken stew. I went on a recipe hunt on the Internet again

Teasability Quotient

Posted on 1 Oct 2008   by CY

Ling can be quite fun to be around, if only because she’s (what I jokingly call) highly “teasable”. Yesterday evening we were driving back home from work for the Wednesday Hari Raya Puasa public holiday. I was having a craving

Posted on 30 Sep 2008   by Ling

I’m quite determined to look for the best laksa in Singapore. Conditions apply though: 1) The stall shouldn’t be too far away from my home, e.g. Tuas, 2) The rating is based on my preference. Hee hee :) The laksa

Ratatouille!

Posted on 30 Sep 2008   by Ling
