Ribeye steak

When we first got married, we often had beef steak for dinner. Most of the time, we got ourselves some of the cheaper cuts and it was tough, literally, eating those steaks. As we got older, we had steak less often. But once in a while, we still indulged ourselves with a good steak.

We had a nice steak dinner the other evening. We had a prosciutto ham and soya bean salad as starters. A lovely ribeye steak served with some fried spaghetti as the entree. Hmmm... The steak was juicy and tender...

Korean delicacies


Upon discovering some recipes for bulgogi and instant kimchi on the internet, Korean food is becoming commonplace at our home. Our repertoire of ingredients got a further boost when we found a supermarket along Bencoolen Street that sells authentic Korean products like the chilli for kimchi. While an instant bulgogi marinade is available there, I feel that it is not as potent as the one that my wife has concocted. A typical Korean dinner (see picture above) consists of beef or chicken bulgogi (sometimes even fish), instant kimchi and oi kimchi (my girl's favourite). Soya bean sprouts (see below) is also one of our favourites.

Sandwiches for lunch

My National Day lunch
It is a simple fare. But since I love bread, this simple sandwich lunch is a wonderful one for National Day. Honey-baked ham in a focaccia bread with alfalfa, cheddar cheese and sweet mustard accompanied by a couple of sausages. The beetroot salad is an extra.
