My Cooking - Baked Cod Fish with Tofu

I like going to Trader Joe's for their frozen packed fishes, cheap and good.

For my packed lunch, I made Cod fish with tofu and spring onion, baked them then put them on top of brown rice and broccoli, tasty and healthy.

My Cooking - Cod Sticks and Hash Browns from Trader Joe's

Whilst at Trader Joe's, they were doing the usual food sampling and they were serving the Cod Sticks with Tartar Sauce which tasted really good. After picking up 2 boxes of the Cod Sticks, I also got 2 boxes of Hash Browns and used them for dinner on Wednesday night, simple, easy and convenient dinner ... yummy!

My Cooking - Pork, Beef, Fish and Chicken!

Today being another off day for us, the hubby and I went out to do the taxes since the filing deadline is right around the corner, after that I went to get a manicure/pedicure cos my feet were beginning to look like claws ... hahaha. When I got home, I decided to make some food to store so I can bring lunch to work for the next few days.

I was so hungry and had to settle that 'growling' sound in my belly so I made a Ham Omelette Sandwich whilst doing prep work for the rest of the dishes.


Next I made Indonesian Beef Rendang Curry using spices from the Asian Home Gourmet. Whilst cooking, the spicy smell got to the hubby who was coughing non-stop till he ran and took refuge in the bedroom ... hahaha!


After that I boiled some whole wheat pasta, napa cabbage 白菜 and baked fish with mushrooms.

Last but not least, for dinner I baked a chicken and made some flavored rice.


I am happy lunch has been packed for the next few days ... phew! I also realised that I had actually cooked 4 different kinds of meat, ham which is pork, beef, fish and chicken today!

NYC - Bronx - New China

Deep Fried Fish with plain Fried Rice from our nearby Chinese takeout. We been having this for many years, only thing is that sometimes there are small bones and that sure irritates me big time.

My Cooking - Baked Whiting Fish & Flavored Rice

Got tired of always deep frying the Whiting Fish so today I just seasoned them up and tossed them in the oven, tasted so good that I wanted to slap myself silly ... hahaha. Made flavored rice with it, the family enjoyed themselves so much so I'm happpy.

My Cooking - Deep Fried Battered Whiting Fish 炸鱼

Aiyoh, everyday I crack my head thinking what to cook, most times end up cooking same dishes over and over again, can be quite boring hor .... heh heh.

Today I had wanted to just make fried battered whiting fish 炸鱼 for dinner but then found it so boring so last minute I decided to add 2 more dishes, stir-fry spinach (plain with lots of garlic) and also the stir-fry shrimp & onions in tomato sauce. The hubby said dinner was good. Maybe cos I was out whole of yesterday, never cooked and he had to eat leftovers so today more appreciative ... hahaha

My Cooking - Dinner

Fried Whiting Fish


Spinach topped with Shrimps

After eating homemade tuna sandwiches and 'haw lok' (singlish way of pronouncing hot dogs ... hahaha) for the past 2 days, my brain and stomach was screaming 'Cook! Cook! Cook!' so I made fried whiting fish and stir-fry spinach with shrimps for dinner. Now I am brainstorming what to cook tomorrow liao ... heh heh.

My Cooking - Sardine in tomato sauce

Yum! Sardine in tomato sauce with chopped onions, chilli padi and some black soy sauce (my mom's way of making this dish ... I miss you very much mommy, wish you were here to eat with me lah!) ... so shiok! Even better if I had rice but since I didn't, I had it with noodles and it still tasted really good ... burp! However the chilli padi was so spicy, my mouth and stomach are burning now.

Singapore - CNY Loh Hei 鱼生

CNY Loh Hei
Originally uploaded by seraphim1970.

This is a popular dish during Chinese New Year in Singapore. Nearly everyone would have tossed Yu Sheng at least once during the Chinese New Year holidays, with some chalking up multiple tosses under their belt. Punning on the words, “Yu Sheng”, which literally means raw fish, it auspiciously meant abundance and growth. Just what we need every New Year, the Chinese thought. What better way, then to embody these symbols of good luck by eating them!

Yet this entrenched tradition is very much a recent Singapore invention, with it gaining popularity only in the last twenty years! Different theories suggest Yu Sheng was either created and popularised by Cantonese restaurants in Singapore or of its Teochew antecedents. As to what is fact and what is fiction, will require some research to put the matter at rest.

The following recipe is somewhat "modern" with the use of salmon, a imported fish that gained popularity in the Chinese food market only in recent years. Before, other local "white flesh fish" was used

Beyond all that, this is just a wonderfully delicious salad!
