Ok, now that I have a Facebook account, I shall use this blog just for food. Here goes first installment since the completion of my kitchen.



I boiled some pasta and threw in asparagus tips towards the end. The lovely thing about asparagus tips is that they require almost no cooking at all. So to retain its crunch, I threw them into the pasta water just before I drained the pot. I then heated up olive oil, threw in delicious anchovies (these were from the precious bottles all the way from Paris courtesy of Stef, not the ikan bilis type). I mashed up the anchovies in the pan and dunked all the pasta.

The salmon is just an extra. I drizzled olive oil, freshly ground salt and black pepper and a layer of fresh basil before laying the salmon skin side up onto the baking tray. Short high temperature baking gave the salmon a beautiful crispy skin and a soft inside.

Happy New Year to all! We just returned from Bangkok-Belgium.

Happy New Year to all!

We just returned from Bangkok-Belgium. And we are glad to be back in Singapore. We bought a domain for ourselves so I'll be moving this blog soon. Meanwhile, all the best wishes to you!

Here comes the first load of pics taken with our new camera.

This is my dad's current fattest goldfish. There's bound to be one in each batch but this one is the fattest - so fat it can no longer swim. It can't even force itself upright like other fishes.



Here are three reminders that children are nothing but stored energy. I regretted my decision fifteen minutes into the attempted dinner at Pizza Hut in Junction 8.



These are a couple of black and white shots.





Last but not least, my mum with the ever-grumpy Enisha, the attention junkie.

Yay! We finally have a decent camera!

I probably will never afford a dreamseat on board the luxurious A380 in this lifetime. I imagine everything on that airbus to be grand - not counting the economy class.

Anyway, just like everything else related to SIA, the launch was pompous and I'm sure not a single cent was spared to push the grandeur of the launch to the max. My colleagues was lucky to be flown all the way to Toulouse for that. Me - I count myself lucky enough to be given the doorgift - a toiletry bag containing two bottles of perfume from Salvatore Ferragamo.

It's been years since I last celebrated Eid with my family. I almost forgot what a din it is to have a huge extended family. My nephews and nieces make all the chaos worth it. Nothing beats seeing them all excited to go visiting, dressed in their finest.

The only drawback is my crappy digicam. What a shame, not capturing the precious Kodak moments.
