The health conscious me always takes a back seat during the new year season, so after all that feasting over christmas and new year season, i think we shall be happy with simple dinners for awhile.
this year, festive feasting was an extended for us since we had a chance to go back to sunny Singapore in the first week of Chinese new year. Not only was mum cooking all our nonya favourites...
curry chicken, chap chye, kueh pie tee, kiam chye duck soup, assam prawns...

we were also meeting up with many people and feasting on lots of chinese new year favourites
having lots of beer with friends
indulging in gelatos everyday
trying new eating places... (this was a pizza place i fell in love with at holland V, called La Nonna, it serves fantastically crispily thin pizzas and breads)
trying new foods... like this portugese egg tarts (oh, i discovered that indeed these are eaten in Portugal! all along i had thought it was some fancy name another Asian thought of to make these pie sheet based kind of egg tarts sound special)We went to Ikea today and got these Swedish crisp breads that look like overtoasted sliced baguettes and decided to try something new instead of the usual cheese or carviar...
cottage cheese and japanese salmon roe (ikura)wow, it certainly tastes very different from caviar and is definitely worth the try!
or, for a more standard style of having these beautiful pop in your mouth ikura pearls, simply top on warm rice, close your eyes and savour the mouthful of rice and bursting egg roe...
