Those baby corns were brought fresh in small packages from Prime Supermarket. Do you think they look fresh in the photo above? Of course not as they look so dry. Why so? It is because I baked them together with the cod fish. You see in my desire to cook something different for my husband, I decided to bake the baby corn instead of serving them fresh. It was a total mistake on my part, that I can honestly admit. Fortunately, my husband said that it was good. Yes, the baked cod fish with baby corn turned out to be a fantastic meal.

Corn generally matures very quickly, so the harvest of baby corn must be timed carefully to avoid ending up with more mature corn ears.

As I went to the Fish and Meat Section, I noticed the kurau fish for its prominent white meat. I told myself that I should better try cooking that fish for my husband even though a package of only one fillet was priced at SGD 4.95. So with the sarsiado recipe in mind, I decided that kurau fish which is understandably from the waters of Kurau in Malaysia would be the best fish for my sarsiado. The moment I reached home, I prepared the ingredients at once. Though sarsiado should have no veggies with it, I included broccoli as my husband needs green vegetables. It was of course a wise decision as broccoli added a captivating charm to my cooked dish. My husband said it was perfect. Surely, I agree. Do you think so?<br /></span><div></div>kaylihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12900177600320002020noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17600595.post-71187125631248053552008-07-16T20:28:00.002+08:002008-12-10T21:05:38.535+08:00Microwave Oven Baked Salmon Fillet<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIuEHHv_Z4Sj7_CAg-4N8nftCsfUc4R2W0aIWrEA2f40_R5t30YAVuMCgF5Wbsas99m6qmkEdJRfZE8RpoNwLMUuLlsehbYcr2V6I_WZFXUyDB4OVJoTnQWzC9OH3D3UtRO6bI/s1600-h/IMG_1546.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223589333624242130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIuEHHv_Z4Sj7_CAg-4N8nftCsfUc4R2W0aIWrEA2f40_R5t30YAVuMCgF5Wbsas99m6qmkEdJRfZE8RpoNwLMUuLlsehbYcr2V6I_WZFXUyDB4OVJoTnQWzC9OH3D3UtRO6bI/s320/IMG_1546.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvfahiyuoAboeAoU1R0NKB3A52fSYtAU0aizXiZMJVnYygPY9oIUoCIO25-xACGKQ8-u87hHFpQFevkO-23DehAit11Qo8zMT8mNmpG3xA3MrqLefOB48Ln6-TDYNTgMII-dp-/s1600-h/IMG_1547.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223589338654183778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvfahiyuoAboeAoU1R0NKB3A52fSYtAU0aizXiZMJVnYygPY9oIUoCIO25-xACGKQ8-u87hHFpQFevkO-23DehAit11Qo8zMT8mNmpG3xA3MrqLefOB48Ln6-TDYNTgMII-dp-/s320/IMG_1547.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />I cooked this meal by accident. I had limited time to cook this afternoon as I need to meet my husband at Causeway Point. You see, I need to cook special for him for the reason I already stated in my previous posts. So when I opened my fridge, I saw two packets of salmon fillet. Since the fillets were frozen, I tried to thaw them in my microwave oven for 4 minutes as I pressed number 4. To my dismay when I opened the microwave oven, the fillets were not thawed but were instead cooked a little. So I told myself, I just better continue on baking. I then melted two spoons of margarine, two spoons of frozen honey in a half cup of hot water with two spoons of lime juice. I poured it on my salmon fillets which I garnished with grated carrots and baked for another five minutes. After that, I garnished it with onions and tomatoes. And presto! I already have a very nice meal not only for my husband but for me and my daughters too. At the same time I was able to prepare salmon in a different way. So this is a discovery I am really proud of!kaylihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12900177600320002020noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17600595.post-79209064642717591872008-07-07T10:04:00.003+08:002008-12-10T21:05:38.683+08:00Honey Spice Rubbed Salmon<div align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD2aKsTXfkx6CQnzGDvYrClvQCZ_wrh5TXBP_9IdaPHW6NqmIvY7iAJDSe5y7jDN7ngtZXZll8h9pYJJGb1QK115-Q6hf4cNXi0Dxw-RF2sW3E9_DgQXiozPfHaKUTR3p8fTBH/s1600-h/IMG_1486.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220094674417946514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD2aKsTXfkx6CQnzGDvYrClvQCZ_wrh5TXBP_9IdaPHW6NqmIvY7iAJDSe5y7jDN7ngtZXZll8h9pYJJGb1QK115-Q6hf4cNXi0Dxw-RF2sW3E9_DgQXiozPfHaKUTR3p8fTBH/s320/IMG_1486.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div align="left"><span style="color:#006600;">I thought before that salmon can be eaten raw only. That was why I was not interested in eating it. Then when we dined in one restaurant (I forgot the name) in Hong Kong years back, I tasted the real salmon. Hmm so tasty! That was why from then on I always dream of that pink-hued fish. Yeah, dream only because salmon is very expensive. Still, whenever we eat at Sakae Sushi, there is always salmon on our table. Now that my husband recovered from stroke, I see to it that there is a salmon dish for him at most two times in a week not minding its high price but thinking only of its taste and nutritional value. I also learnt to cook salmon in a variety of ways. Just last night, I cooked salmon for him and for all of us too. So, please continue reading and learn more about my tasty salmon recipe as patterned from a book I bought from the hospital pharmacy titled Tasty Meals Made Healthy and copyrighted by The National Kidney Foundation.</span></div><br /><span style="color:#006600;"></span><br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#006600;">Ingredients</span></strong><br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#006600;"></span></strong><br /><br /><span style="color:#006600;">200 g salmon fillet, 6 pieces</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#006600;">2 tbsp honey</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#006600;">1 tbsp garlic poeder</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#006600;">2tbsp olive oil</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#006600;">1tbsp hot water</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#006600;">1tbsp lemon peel grated</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#006600;">pan salt/pepper season to taste</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#006600;"></span><br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#006600;">Method of Preparation</span></strong><br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#006600;"></span></strong><br /><br /><div align="left"><span style="color:#006600;">1.

As their name implies, essential fatty acids are essential for human health but because they cannot be made by the body, they must be obtained from foods.

Wild-caught cold water fish, like salmon, are higher in omega-3 fatty acids than warm water fish. In addition to being an excellent source of omega-3s, salmon are an excellent source of selenium, a very good source of protein, niacin and vitamin B12, and a good source of phosphorus, magnesium and vitamin B6. </span></em><br /><em><span style="color:#006600;"></span></em><br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#006600;">Protection against Stroke</span></strong><br /><strong><br /></strong><span style="color:#006600;">Eating fish, such as salmon, as little as 1 to 3 times per month may protect against ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by lack of blood supply to the brain, for example, as a result of a blood clot), suggests a meta-analysis of 8 studies published in the July 2004 issue of Stroke.<br />Data on nine independent groups participating in eight different studies found that, compared to those who never consumed fish or ate fish less than once per month, risk of ischemic stroke dropped:<br />9% in those eating fish 1 to 3 times per month<br />13% in those eating fish once per week<br />18% in those eating fish 2 to 4 times per week<br />31% in those eating fish 5 or more times each week </span><br /></div>kaylihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12900177600320002020noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17600595.post-39807903769876782042008-06-21T20:47:00.002+08:002008-12-10T21:05:39.050+08:00Pan Fried Orange Juice Toman Fillet<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieRONXEK9YnzJ9ujibLN6eyy9AocFrvl0KKaSotoJJThT8V781t9SLkCqzOD0u9JfWcnwvK-Q0AMuNbmNV18VibCIwHaNESGOFZ0GsCSDQV1lXOQit_EBqsV8Xa-5FgjMi5BYu/s1600-h/IMG_1470.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214316942109159282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieRONXEK9YnzJ9ujibLN6eyy9AocFrvl0KKaSotoJJThT8V781t9SLkCqzOD0u9JfWcnwvK-Q0AMuNbmNV18VibCIwHaNESGOFZ0GsCSDQV1lXOQit_EBqsV8Xa-5FgjMi5BYu/s320/IMG_1470.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipm5v3l_TMMFN9Sbk6WUz-hRuUiRu_kZzpPOcRiNM3s_1j8xEZzGl2y1poF-OGLXiDXRVVfkq4HD-h4yWsflo-B9QBdQQZjCqEzeYKuAwu4RLDSEnEcEbgKDNMdG4kriYp5TiE/s1600-h/IMG_1471.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214316948221415170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipm5v3l_TMMFN9Sbk6WUz-hRuUiRu_kZzpPOcRiNM3s_1j8xEZzGl2y1poF-OGLXiDXRVVfkq4HD-h4yWsflo-B9QBdQQZjCqEzeYKuAwu4RLDSEnEcEbgKDNMdG4kriYp5TiE/s320/IMG_1471.JPG" border="0" /></a><strong> <span style="color:#003300;">Ingredients</span></strong><br /><span style="color:#003300;">toman fillet, 4 pieces</span><br /><span style="color:#003300;">1/2 cup mayonnaise, low fat</span><br /><span style="color:#003300;">1/4 cup Chinese parsley, chopped</span><br /><span style="color:#003300;">2 tbsp orange juice</span><br /><span style="color:#003300;">Pan salt/pepper season to taste</span><br /><span style="color:#003300;"></span><br /><strong><span style="color:#003300;">Method of preparation</span></strong><br /><span style="color:#003300;">1.

This meal I cooked is just perfect for him. Cod fish with brocolli. Why cod fish? For those who have no idea what a cod fish is and its nutritional value, here are some information for you courtesy of </span><a href="http://www.whfoods.com/"><span style="color:#000099;">www.whfoods.com</span></a><span style="color:#000099;">.</span><br /><span style="color:#000099;"></span><br /><em><span style="color:#000099;"> What is cod?</span></em><br /><em><span style="color:#000099;">The white, mild flavored flesh of cod is available throughout the year and is a wonderful substitute for meat protein with its versatility making it easily adaptable to all methods of cooking. Cod belong to the same family (Gadidae) along with both haddock and pollock. It's not surprising that the words "cod" and "cold" are so similar since cod need the cold, deep, Arctic waters to grow, reproduce and survive.</span></em><br /><em><span style="color:#000099;"></span></em><br /><a name="healthbenefits"><em><span style="color:#000099;">Health Benefits</span></em></a><br /><em><span style="color:#000099;">Besides being an excellent low-calorie source of protein (a four-ounce serving of cod provides 52.1% of the daily need for protein for only 119 calories), cod contains a variety of very important nutrients and has also been shown to be useful in a number of different health conditions. </span></em><br /><br /><em><span style="color:#000099;">Cardiovascular Benefits<br />Fish, particularly cold water fish like cod, have been shown to be very beneficial for people with atherosclerosis and diabetic heart disease. Studies show that people who eat fish regularly have a much lower risk of heart disease and heart attack than people who don't consume fish. Cod, specifically, promotes cardiovascular health because it is a good source of blood-thinning </span></em><a href="http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=nutrient&dbid=84"><em><span style="color:#000099;">omega-3 fatty acids</span></em></a><em><span style="color:#000099;">, but is also a good source of </span></em><a href="http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=nutrient&dbid=107"><em><span style="color:#000099;">vitamin B12</span></em></a><em><span style="color:#000099;"> and a very good source of </span></em><a href="http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=nutrient&dbid=108"><em><span style="color:#000099;">vitamin B6</span></em></a><em><span style="color:#000099;">, both of which are needed to keep homocysteine levels low. This is important because homocysteine is a dangerous molecule that is directly damaging to blood vessel walls, and high homocysteine levels are associated with a greatly increased risk of heart attack and stroke(homocysteine is also associated with osteoporosis, and a recent study found that osteoporosis occurred more frequently among women whose vitamin B12 status was deficient or marginal compared with those who had normal B12 status.) Cod is also a very good source of </span></em><a href="http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=nutrient&dbid=83"><em><span style="color:#000099;">niacin</span></em></a><em><span style="color:#000099;">, another B vitamin that is often used to lower high cholesterol levels, something else that can lead to heart disease.<br /></span></em><br /><em><span style="color:#000099;">Eating fish, such as cod, as little as 1 to 3 times per month may protect against ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by lack of blood supply to the brain, for example, as a result of a blood clot), suggests a meta-analysis of 8 studies published in the July 2004 issue of Stroke.<br />Data on nine independent groups participating in eight different studies found that, compared to those who never consumed fish or ate fish less than once per month, risk of ischemic stroke dropped:<br />9% in those eating fish 1 to 3 times per month<br />13% in those eating fish once per week<br />18% in those eating fish 2 to 4 times per week<br />31% in those eating fish 5 or more times each week.</span></em><br /><em><span style="color:#000099;"></span></em><br /><span style="color:#000099;">Even though this cod fish I bought which is imported from Chile is a bit expensive, I try to cook cod fish for my husband at most three times a week because of its nutritional value. </span><br /><span style="color:#000099;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000099;">So you want to ask how to cook this recipe of mine? There's no secret in my cooking, just the normal procedure where I sauted a lot of garlic on a tablespoon of olive oil and added onions and tomatoes. I then add in the cod fillet, a teaspoon of salt and ground pepper. After that, I added chopped broccoli and let it simmer for a few minutes. So simple, right? </span>kaylihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12900177600320002020noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17600595.post-70046936185925821502008-06-15T14:01:00.002+08:002008-12-10T21:05:39.793+08:00Water Chestnut SoupI went to Shop and Save Supermarket to buy some stuffs so I can cook soup for my husband.

The water chestnut is actually not a nut at all, but an aquatic vegetable that grows in marshes. (This is why the ones that you purchase in the store may have a muddy coating.) The name "water chestnut" comes from the fact that it resembles a chestnut in shape and coloring. Indigenous to Southeast Asia, it has been cultivated in China since ancient times.</em><br /><br /><em>Availibility: Water chestnuts require a long frost-free growing season (7 months) which means that they are only grown in semi-tropical areas, including a few States such as California and Florida. Fresh water chestnuts are available year-round in Asian markets, either packaged or in bins. Unless you live in an area where they are grown locally, they are generally not available in local groceries and supermarkets. Canned water chestnuts are available year round at most groceries and supermarkets.</em><br /><br /><em>Selecting Water Chestnuts: When choosing fresh water chestnuts, look for firm ones with an unwrinkled skin and no soft spots - otherwise when you peel the water chestnut you may find it has softened and turned mushy. Generally, it's best to buy a few more chestnuts than needed, just in case a few have spoiled.<br /></em><br /><em>Nutritional Information: Nutritionally, water chestnuts are a good source of potassium and fiber. They are low in sodium, and fat is virtually non-existent. Caloriewise, one cup of water chestnut slices contains about one hundred-thirty calories. Low carb dieters, beware: water chestnuts are high in carbohydrates. You may try replacing them with low carb bamboo shoots.</em>kaylihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12900177600320002020noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17600595.post-40323106403772418902008-06-13T23:12:00.003+08:002008-12-10T21:05:40.584+08:00Ampalaya Con Carne<span style="color:#993300;">My husband is progressing well since he survived brain accident or stroke.

I was not in the mood to cook for our dinner. You see, only my youngest and me were at home. My husband was over there in Vietnam and my second had an appointment to attend to. Surely, with only two persons at home, cooking dinner would not be that challenging. Actually we intended to go down and eat at the nearest food court, but going down made us lazy too. So the final decision was to dial Pizza Hut for a home delivery.</span><br /><span style="color:#660000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#660000;">I could say that eating pizza especially from Pizza Hut is a fantastic idea. But spending SGD 24.00 for those food items is not that fantastic. Wahhh!

I told her that I will prepare the best for her.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#000099;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#000099;">The problem was I have not cooked or prepared that salad for a long time. And I already forgot how to do it that well. My problem was easily solved as I searched the net on how to prepare it. I read the pinoy cook’s post about it and another one from allrecipes.com. Guess which recipe I followed? I combined the two. Though those recipes and their cooking are excellent, I could not say that about mine. Wahh, I am not a real good cook <em>kasi</em>. But you know what, my chicken macaroni salad turned out to be good. I am proud.

So when I went back there some months ago, I was impressed of the place. It is now more spacious and attractive. Well, there are now new stalls. And one of those stalls is this Teh Sarabat. Thay have delicious mee goreng that tastes so good though it seems to burn my tongue. Soooo hot! Comes with it is the teh tarikh. You may wonder what it means. It means pulled tea. So you see the man on photo above? He's pulling the tea that high. Terrific!! And the end product: a well mixed and nice smelling tea with milk.

Oh, it is the newest and hip shopping mall here. Over there you can find the Chicken Rice Shop. Though you can also find one in KL, it is inviting to enter the restaurant in ViVo City.

I’ve read in the newspaper about a man’s comment that those people who say that Singapore is a foodie paradise don’t know anything about food or uninformed. OUCHHH!!!!<br /><br />Well, what is a paradise in the first place? According to my Little Oxford dictionary, paradise is a delightful place. So it goes that a foodie paradise is a delightful place for food lovers.<br /><br /> Is Singapore really a foodie paradise? It depends on the person who’s saying it for delight is a feeling that differs from person to person. That man may not see his own country as a foodie paradise but persons like me who may know nothing about food may see his country as a foodie paradise because of the simple truth that we have individual differences thus our differences in perception and in particular, tastes.<br /><br />Well, considering that I really know nothing about food, then I should better change my blog title. Since I am delighted easily, can I name my blog, Pinay in Singapore, A Paradise Lost? Accch, not nice!!! How about if I change the title to Pinay in Singapore, an Almost Paradise? Wahhh, it is not nice also.<br /><br />You know what, when I went to eat in Regency Mills, a shopping mall in Virginia, I discovered this Singapore eatery, which serves Singapore food of course. Seeing those Caucasians who queue for their orders, I felt proud, for Singapore food is an aspect of my everyday life here. The fact that the food over there was lagging behind as my uninformed palate dictated to me, I could just imagine then how those people would react once they tasted the real local food here.<br /><br />Paradise is also a place where things that delight you are within your reach. I remember when we were in living in Hong Kong, Tuen Muen in particular, there were nights that we as a family wanted to go out to eat. Imagine us, being used in Singapore to being able to eat out even in the wee hours, and then there in HK where it was so difficult to find an open restaurant nearby at that holy hour. We almost always shouted: “bring us back to Singapore!!”<br /><br />So STOP it people. For me, Singapore is still a foodie paradise. And my blog title remains the same.<br /><br /> </span>kaylihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12900177600320002020noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17600595.post-1155106722121509882006-08-09T14:45:00.000+08:002006-08-26T21:41:25.256+08:00Happy 41st!!<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1504/728/1600/IMG_2720.jpg"></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1504/728/1600/IMG_2734.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1504/728/400/IMG_2734.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><p><span style="color:#ff0000;">Today is National Day, Singapore's 41st birthday.
