Met up with Robert from ANU’s School of Art for a chat, and what did I get? A loaf of home-made zucchini bread! Yay! Thanks Robert! Whipped up a quick and easy-peasy lunch with a couple of slices of bread, egg omelette and a side of broccoli and tomatoes tossed in olive oil, salt and

Nothing better than a lovely bowl of soup to warm the soul on a chilly evening. This was yet another culinary experiment. With a bit of help from google on how to make a soup out of my family’s standard dhal recipe, it was easy-peasy. Think of a cross between dhal and vegetable soup. And

Yet another Flexitarian Lunch. This time a take-out from Sumo Salad at the basement of Raffles City Shopping Centre. $5.80 for their small portion.
