Lao Ban almond-flavoured soya beancurd

$1.50 for plain tau hway. $2.00 for almond-flavoured tau hway. 

Delicate, fine, silky, slides down your throat. Place a spoonful in your mouth, and it will literally melt / disintegrate on your tongue. I have never really liked tau hway, but place this new kind of silky tau hway in front of me, especially the almond-flavoured one, and I can do three bowls at one go (even though I am Paleo!).

Why do you eat what you eat? (Pt 2)

You may have heard of Terry Wahls, a doctor who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2000. By 2007, she had to use a special tilt-recline wheelchair to get about, and expected to become bedridden. She was taking all the latest drugs, but none of them helped. Later, she changed her diet to: "greens, sulfur-rich, color, grass-fed meat, organ meat and seaweed" (ie. whole, unprocessed foods), and not long after, Dr. Wahls was able to walk around without a cane and even completed an 18-mile bicycle tour.

Tung Lok Seafood Ala Carte Buffet (Dinner)

As my father recently survived a major operation, he wanted to invite our relatives for dinner to celebrate that and to celebrate his birthday in advance. Tung Lok Signatures at The Central serves fantastic food and their service is excellent. However my sister had just held her wedding dinner there last December (pity I did not have a camera then to take pictures of the food). It had been more than a year since I enjoyed Tung Lok Seafood's lunch buffet, so I suggested the venue to my father. After taking a look at the dinner buffet menu, he immediately booked a table for 11.

Sup Kambing from Bahrakath Mutton Soup King, Adam Road Food Centre

"It smells so strong!". That was what my mother said when she poured my sup kambing from Adam Road into a corningware. She has probably never tasted mutton in her life and has no cravings for sheep meet. I do not particularly crave sheep meat either, but like sup tulang, sup kambing is one of the few bone dishes available in Singapore.

Roasted almonds and walnuts with the Philips AirFryer

Before we had the Philips AirFryer, the microwave was our equipment of choice for roasting nuts. With almonds, spread a layer of almonds on a large plate, microwave on high for two minutes, stir them a little and spread them out again, microwave on high for another two minutes, and they were done. We had tried roasting nuts in a non-stick pot, but it required constant stirring and it took a long while for the nuts to roast. Leaving them in our toaster oven usually led to the nuts getting burnt.
