The Doritos-Palm Oil Nexus. Whut?!
When I saw this video (below), I was like “Dayummmmm..” I mean what’s a party without a bowl of Doritos? That convenient [read: LAZY] option to just grab from the store to entertain guests or bring to a pot luck gathering. The solution: Just gotta be a bit more creative and try healthier options then……

Happy Anzac Day!
Gotta love public holidays. Best time to sleep in (just a little) and enjoy a bowl of oats and a cup of mint tea. Tai-chee, on the other hand, wants to head out and play.

Singapore-Oman chit chats on a hill
A couple of friends from Oman were in town, so a few of us had dinner at PS Cafe at Dempsey Hill. I opted for the m Miso cod on a bed of roast pumpkin with a side of salad. Lovely and light… and then I had truffle fries (to share!)

Oats for Eyang

The Power of the Pot
A couple of weeks ago I moved out of my on-campus studio room and in with my office-mate, Ayu, from Indonesia. *Damn yearly contracts!* Ayu’s 80-something year old dad has been visiting Canberra for the past month. Ever so often Eyang (“Grandpa” in Javanese) would have a look of disbelief when he sees me having…

TGIF!
It’s a super sunny day today in the kampung kapital (i.e. Canberra), and what better way to start the day with a bright chirpy-looking bowl of goodness! Oats with blueberries, a nectarine and kiwi. Sweetened with a couple of dates. Have a great Friday, everyone 🙂
