Day 24/90 | Nothing Fancy, Just a Normal Wednesday
Mid-week again. Started the day with Aunty’s sweet potato soup. Always happy when this appears at work. Haha. Lunch went to try another coffeeshop because my colleague wanted to eat rosti, while me… back to my basic cai fan. Looked quite promising but I was wrong… really quite saltish. Don’t

Day 23/90 | From Staff Meeting to Cook Off
GSM today so lunch was provided... Catered from How’s Catering. Food was actually quite nice and somehow I ended up with no carbs. Then team building was a cook-off at SSA Culinary Institute. Two huge kitchens, 3 pax per team and we made scones + siew mai. Super fun and both turned out not

Day 22/90 | New week, same reality
Budget meeting today so lunch was provided, Hjh Maimunah Mini. But I looked at the food and nothing really caught my eye, so I brought leftovers from Sunday’s dinner and had that instead. Then there was a Chagee order going around, so of course I joined. Hahaha. Chose one without milk. Dinne

Day 20/90 | Lunch = dinner cos mum cooked
Saturday was really nothing exciting. Mum cooked, so lunch was chicken, egg and veg. She made quite a big pot of chicken and the veg portion was too much for one meal, so I just split everything into two. Lunch = this. Dinner = basically this again. Hahaha. Not every day need different fo

Work event day and wah… by the end of it, my legs were breaking from standing from 5pm all the way till 9.30pm. This morning already had a hard time waking up. Felt so tired like someone bashed me up, so chicken essence to the rescue before heading to HQ for a meeting. Lunch was at the nearby c

Day 17/90 | Guess what I ate for dinner after having cai fan for lunch?
Wednesday started with dessert from aunty! Peach gum + white fungus. Then lunch was... you guessed it, cai fan again. Evening was my weekly date with my teen and she wanted to try the place I normally go for lunch. So back to the same coffee shop and... guess what I ordered? Cai fan AGAIN. Ha

Day 16/90 | I finally saw 85 on the scale!
Busy Tuesday and a super long day. Back-to-back meetings, budget review, data crunching and tallying... Shag! Lunch was my same boring cai fan again. Veg, egg and some meat. Nothing exciting but gets the job done. Dinner was back home to mum's cooking. Veg, chicken and egg. Stepped on th

Lazy Ninja Crispi Creamy Chicken Pasta
Was looking for a lazy one-pot meal using my Ninja Crispi and chanced upon this video. Everything into the Crispi, air fry, add cream + pasta + cheese and done! Made a smaller portion for 2–3 pax and it turned out pretty good. Creamy, cheesy, lots of chicken and veg, plus that slightly charred c

Bangers & Mash for Dinner 🇬🇧
Teen requested bangers & mash, so tried making it at home. First time making proper onion gravy too! We don't take beef, so I swapped the beef stock in the original recipe for chicken stock. I was scared it would be too salty so I actually reduced the stock... but turns out I didn't ne

Day 11/90 | Everyone eats differently
Another office day. Started with the obligatory lift selfie. 🤭 Lunch was cai fan again, egg, veg and pork. Starting to realise my weekday lunches are really quite predictable. But easy and don't need to think so much. Dinner at home was a whole tray of fried goodies for my hub + teen. I h

When Life Gives You Leftover Lemons… Bake! 🍋
Teen originally wanted to bake with her friend, but her friend couldn’t make it. Since we already had lemons sitting in the fridge so I made a lemon pound cake instead. Turned out not bad! Buttery and moist, with a really nice lemon smell and taste. I reduced the sugar slightly and I think it wa
