bite sized: be grateful, happy easter, peas out

by ⋅ 13 Comments

Sometimes we have to be grateful for the big things in life. Like winning a holiday. Sometimes we have to be grateful for the small things in life. Like being able to see, smell, touch, talk… just being. Sometimes, we have to be grateful for the things we often aren’t grateful for. Like our parents.

Other times, we have to be grateful for the value-adds that life throws at us. Like having a neighbour who bakes amazing things and shares them with me. These are Su-yin’s easter sugar cookies, beautifully decorated by hers-truly. So delicious! If she gets around to posting a recipe, I’ll link to it from here.

Be grateful. Happy Easter. Peas out.

bite sized: mum’s fish curry with okra

by ⋅ 8 Comments

There’s always that one dish that you request when you go home to see your parents. One favourite dish that you crave but can’t seem to recreate. For me it’s my mum’s fish curry with okra (and sometimes eggplant, but unfortunately not this time). This was tonight’s dinner!

I LOVE IT.

ps. I just noticed how grubby the plate is… heh, sorry, I guess I just wanted to snap and eat!

Vitalife Matcha Green Tea

With the situation in Japan worsening day by day, we as a global community need to rally together and help in any way that we can. I often get asked where to buy matcha. Well, you can usually get a tin down in your local Asian grocery store, but right now, Vitalife Matcha are donating 25% of all profits made to help Japan (and their products are also currently discounted) so if there’s one place to buy matcha right now, it’s HERE.

Thanks for your support – every little bit helps! x

bite sized: where have the matcha kitkats gone?

by ⋅ 19 Comments

This here is the last of my matcha kitkats. I’ve been saving it for ever and ever, but given that its used by date is in 2 February 2011, I figured (with a deep, heavy sigh) I’d better just go ahead and eat it, lest it should go to waste. I mean, I’m pretty sure the 11th commandment was “thou shalt not waste a matcha kitkat”. Wasn’t it?
