So poor man has to go meatless =P

I woke up at 6+am to prepare for his lunch to be brought to work.

and I will have the same type of food as him for my lunch.

As he got to leave at 7am, I had to get everything done fast

So I cooked the spaghetti the night before, 

and refrigerated it.

As for cutting of ingredients, mushrooms and capsicums are pretty easy to be handled.

So this was our lunch~

Somewhat filling and definitely a healthier choice..

Blood Nourishing Herbal Soup

Eu Yan Sang was having Sales @ Plaza Singapura's Atrium,

and i bought a couple of packets of herbs~to make soup~

My mum is the one who always makes soup for me.

now, I have to cook on my own.

Having a thermal cooker made the process simpler,

don't need to watch the fire or worry that water will dry up.

And it's cost effective...

just wash the herbs, put in pot with water and chicken.

Bring to a boil, remove from heat and wait for 3 hours.

3 hours later...

All nutrients packed in the soup...
This soup is meant to promote blood circulation,
I don't know how effective it is. HEHE..

look at the oil..Whoah..

I will try to replace with fish the next time!

Yummy!

But we can't get to sleep at night until 2am,

is it because of this soup?

Steamed Saba with Miso Sauce

Steamed Saba with Miso Sauce!

my first time cooking this and I'm hooked onto it!

5. Drizzle miso sauce onto steamed saba and serve.

Steamed Moist Chocolate Cake

We cook and bake for a very simple reason...

Yes..Love..
Why do we spend so much time in the kitchen,
when we can buy ready made food?

We just want the best for our love ones...
Homemade food is always the best food!

It takes lots of effort, time and sometimes courage to come up with something in the kitchen!
Ooooo..Emotional me...
Full stop before I type more =P

my man had a bad day,
I wanted him to cheer up~
by making this cake as a surprise.

Planned to complete the cake before he's back,
but was not in time to decorate.

He was still happy when he saw my "ugly" cake =)

I had problems with my steamer,

It's actually just a wok with a stainless steel stand. 

I should get a proper steamer soon!

the cake was indeed mooooooist~

the taste reminds me of Sara Lee...!
I did not drizzle it with ganache,
as i think this cake is sinful and sweet enough on its own! HAHA..

And in less than 12 hours, more than half the cake is gone!

Udon in Homemade Chicken Broth

This is my simple lunch

I will just take whatever is available in my fridge,
and most of the time there will be no meat.
I used my few days old leftover chicken broth, if not I will just use plain water for the soup.
 I have too many chicken ribs in my freezer,
so got to use them to cook some broth and not let it go to waste.


I made the broth by boiling 4 chicken ribs for 2 minutes to get rid of blood residues and dirt
Then transfer the ribs to another pot of 1 litre boiling water.
Added some soya beans and let it come to a boil again.
Transfer pot into the thermal cooker and in a few hour's time there will be some tasty soup!

The ingredients to go with this udon are just fresh shitake mushrooms and cabbage.

Simple and quite healthy, it will be better without the broth  =)

Cottony Soft Honey Cake

I've made this cake once about 1 year ago, 

used a different brand of honey this time, and it taste totally different.

So if you want to make this cake, use your favourite honey! =)

Do not be deceived by the look of this cake...

It's extremely soft and texture is very smooth...

very cottony!

And it's quite a healthy cake!

Gave 1/2 of the cake to my family,

and the rest will be for my man's breakfast.

How weird it is..I don't crave for cakes that I've baked.
I will normally just take a small bite. Maybe I'm really not a fan of sweet stuffs.

Tried to capture the cottony texture,

hope all of you can see it  =)

Cottony Soft Honey Cake

4 Eggs (seperate whites from yolks)
