Café during CB

So glad that we got a nice espresso machine last year. It made our stay-at-home days of 3 months a very nice one. While most people found it stifling, we enjoyed our home, especially with the continuous supply of coffee and food at our own cafe corner. I was too busy exploring recipes to feel bored 😄

Cocktail time

Sparkling Brunches

Enjoying a long brunch on Saturday over some bubbly has become something we looked forward to after a week’s work at home.

Circuit Breaker SG

I am finally back. Have been working from home for more than 3 months, even before the partial lockdown (we called it Circuit Breaker). Staying home 24 hours every day did not make me any freer. My enthusiasm in cooking went in full bloom.. not that I had a choice but I am definitely not complaining.

Like any one else in Singapore or rather, all over the world, staying home is our way of contributing to the society.

The 2 months of CB had also given me a good chance to spend more time in my floral interest. I used to buy fresh flowers for our home every other week but due to CB, it was not possible. So I ventured into preserved & dried flowers.

Hubz loves Korean food so a couple of Korean treats for him.

Besides salads, grain bowls, fried rice/vermicelli, cream soups which were the usual items in our every day’s lunch & dinner menu, these are some of the creations on weekends during the 2 months of Circuit Breaker (mainly local fare) …

Thanks 2019!

December has been a truly great month for us, with a super fabulous holiday for the first part and lots of family bonding for the second half.

We were completely busy for the last 2 over weeks. Only started our yearly Christmas preparations when we returned, meaning we were only left with 10 days to settle decorations, buying the remaining gifts plus wrapping, planning Christmas menus and getting ready for the Christmas parties.

Also bought some pine branches to make our own Christmas wreath. It has been a “tradition” for me since a couple of years ago.

Also took the chance to catch up with a cousin during my office Christmas-New Year closure.

Well, year 2019 ends very well for us and I know 2020 will even be a better one!
