Egg In Clouds

This baked egg loos so attractive and it was not hard nor takes too much time to prepare. The egg white needs to be beaten separately and seasoned with parmesan and black pepper.  It is not my favorite thing to eat, but it does look photogenic. 

February Morning Sky

"Never ignore a person who loves you, cares for you, misses you. Because one day, you might wake up and realize that you lost the moon while counting the stars."

It is still the beginning of the year, I am still obsessed with new days and new months. I paid attention  to the fact that it's now February. We have 29 days in this month, let's try to make the best of everyday. Here's how the sky looked like today. Gorgeous.

Sanpoutei Ramen Lunch

This maybe from a couple of weeks ago or so. We were so hungry and we were in front of Sanpoutei Ramen in Shaw House. We were there once and I thought I was ready for another go. By ready, I meant that I thought, that I could finish the whole bowl. Historically I never did. I think, I also failed again this time. There were some noodles left. They were always too much of noodles and soup. 

Both DH and I ordered the same type of ramen and we shared a plate of fried chicken. Of course, he refused to eat more fried chicken, he ate just a couple of them and called it "sharing". Typical.

Saying Goodbye To January 2016

Here we go again and suddenly we are at the end of January. I always want to treasure every single second of the day but I constantly let the seconds slip away. It's always the case of too many things to do and too little time. It's the case of time management and prioritizing and now the two have become my life goals at the moment.

Tomorrow will be another day, another month, a day with new hopes and new challenges and a day that I hope that makes me a better person, even if just a bit more. Just like every new day that I am given opportunity to live in. To make no issue of things that are less important, to appreciate what I have and to remember to give back.

Salmon Salad

Salad is always the right pick for a light lunch or dinner. To make it more exciting, sometimes I add something else to it, like pan seared salmon. Pan seared salmon doesn't take a long time and outrageous seasoning. I use salt and pepper and a little olive oil to brown both sides and crisp the skin. I also added garbanzo beans, walnut and pears to the salad to create a more balance overall flavor. 

Chia Pudding Breakfast

Chia pudding breakfast does not take much time to prepare, mainly because it is prepared the night before. What I need to do in the morning is chopping up the fruit and topping the pudding with whatever I want. And breakfast is ready. A fresh and healthy one. 

Popovers

There were just two of us at home so I halved the recipe that I used. I made six of them, smaller ones. This batch was successful, every single popover rose really well with a beautiful hollow in the center. They were light, airy and delicious.

Recipe
Popovers

Ingredients (Makes 12 popovers)

• 1 Tsp unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing tin
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• grated cheese

Directions

• Preheat oven to 450F degrees. Put the popover pan inside the oven to heat up. 
• In a bowl, whisk together flour and salt. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and 1 tablespoon melted butter. Pour over flour mixture and continue whisking until just blended. 
• Remove the popover pan from the oven and brush with some butter 
• Fill the popover cups two-thirds to three-quarters full. Sprinkle some grated cheese on top
• Transfer tin to oven, and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees, and bake until well browned and crusty, about 20 minutes. Do not open the oven door while baking.
• Remove popovers from the oven, and unmold onto a rack. Puncture the sides with a sharp knife to let steam escape, and serve immediately. 

Wanton Noodles Breakfast

Once in a while, we like to try new places for some dishes that we like to eat. Miss P sent us a link to this place and we went over the weekend to have a try. This place is at Block 164, Stirling Road and it's well known for wanton noodles. 

We went early to beat the crowd and to make sure that we get a slot to park easily. In some other places, eating venues are quite busy on Saturday mornings and parking places can be quite a challenge to find. It's not the case for this one. It was after 7:30 AM and we were early. There were some people enjoying the food from other stalls that were open and parking spots were plenty.

I decided to try their complete set which came with greens and braised mushroom, along with fried wantons and sliced char siu. I enjoy the flavor of the noodles, but the person that prepared the noodles seemed to have put more oil than I'd like to have. Next time, we could try to request less oil. 

Salad With Scallops

Such a delicious salad. I love everything that I put there and want more. The fried egg was crispy with running yolk and the scallops were simple but tasted perfect. The salad was seasoned simply with salt, pepper and olive oil.

Steel-Cut Oat Breakfast

This is one of my favorite breakfasts, particularly with the presence of pomegranate, caramelized banana and other fruits.
