A Mother’s Monologue

Tee comes home everyday with interesting food stories to tell. She is very fussy with food and makes demands on what she wants for breakfast and snack every day before bed. If she gets bread and jam, she would moan that she is soooooooo sick of bread and jam.
Can you believe it?
The Hubs can’t be [...]

On the way to Tee’s school on the road just behind her school (the main road), there is a little Malay stall which serves the yummiest Malay food that makes the baby in my tummy completely ecstatic. If I can help it, I’ll try not to eat there but honestly, to skip a lunch cooking [...]

After an entire morning of picking up trash, hey, that’s 4 kilometers mind you, of steep uphill struggles, we were famished. Our meals were all packaged up by the resort so we ate there mostly, despite cravings to get out into the town to eat real food.
Breakfast at the resort was good - ample supply [...]

I’ve just forced Tee to eat 5 spoonfuls of baby bittergourd (cooked in an omelette), which is known to be even better nutritionally than the big bittergourd. She hated it but she swallowed it. Good girl.
Whenever I eat bittergourd, my blood sugar tends to drop as it has some insulin producing properties. I try to [...]

My favourite type of food, especially when cooked to perfection. Tasty and super spicy. Who am I kidding? I like ALL food……as those who know me will testify.

Another boring day…..so I got out the old chocolates from the fridge that we hadn’t eaten and told Tee to cook them. You should have seen her eyes turn on. You know? Like a light switch. On-off-on-off. Bored, off. Cook chocolate, On!
We also melted some marshmallows but I wouldn’t recommend you try that. Very, very [...]

I love bean sprouts and am now wondering if Westerners ever pluck the tails off bean sprouts??? I know most restaurants here don’t do it but we always do it at home. After Tee’s princess party, she was brought back into the real world to do some real work. Your pumpkin’s exploded, honey. Back to [...]

This dinner was not paid by me but ahhhh……how I wish somebody would pay for me to eat good food everyday!! Mind you, Bakuteh at the roadside is good food too…..

This was my starter. Scallops and pasta. I can’t remember the fancy schmancy names of the dishes but I’ll tell you what I know. [...]
