Good PM everyone!
My food plating stuff finally came!!! Can’t wait to use them to plate my foods 🤩🤩
I got fries holder, baked/fried food holder, taco holder, potato cutter, ice trays, sauce holder, utensils, and vase
On today’s episode of asking men (or boys idk) functions of kitchenware:
👉🏻 ice tray: Angus said it was a lunchbox/takoyaki maker
👉🏻 potato cutter: dad said it was a comb 💀
👉🏻 taco holder: dad said it was a phone stand/item/plate stand, Angus said it was a mini clothes rack 🫥🫥🫥
👉🏻 fries holder: dad said it was an egg holder. I mean he’s not wrong, beauty blender holders look like this
👉🏻 flower vase: Angus said it is an alcohol vase..(?)??) well it could be if I wanted to 🧞♀️🧙🏻♀️
Boys being boys.
My dad also screamed at me bc there’s no more space to put all my stuff in the kitchen 😅 he (and my mom) should be glad i didn’t buy plates or bowls this time round though 💅🏻
Stay tuned to how I will use these stuff in my food photos 😘😘

Gochujang udon noodles
Backstory: I had this for the first time at a cafe with two of my friends and we instantly in love with it. We were intently tasting the food, our chins perched on our hands, frowning and analysing the ingredients behind this dish just by tasting it 🤔. I wish I was this serious whenever I’m doing work.
Good news: we did it and I have made this so many times and never went back to the cafe ever since I learned to make this.
This one is so yummy, even my bro who is a picky eater went two rounds at this. If your future mother/father-in-law likes spicy/Korean food, consider making them this dish and they will definitely ask their son/daughter to marry you. Plus this dish can be made in 30 mins. Try to make it and who knows maybe u can create ur own cafe and earn big $$ too. Don’t forget me when u become successful.
Recipe is in the discussion section cuz of the limited word count. Nutrition tips are also given on how to make this healthier! 👩🏻🍳

Avocado scrambled egg toast
1 slice sourdough (bought; I like it toasted), 1 scrambled eggs and 1/2 avocado - this combo will never go wrong. Sprinkle with some salt and black pepper and you’re ready to call this a “Mini Breakfast” and sell it at $8.90. Put some hotdogs (don’t recommend) + mesclun salad + mushrooms and tomatoes and sell it as “Big Deluxe Breakfast” at $19.90.
👩🏻🍳 I know I always remind everyone to eat 2 servings of fruits a day. However, we have to remember that not all fruits are made equal. For instance, avocado is a fruit but it is high in (good) fat. If your goal is to lose/maintain weight, you might want to consider fruits that are lower in fat (apples, berries etc), or if not, watch your portion size: don’t finish a whole avocado in a setting.

Kimchi Jiggae
This is a throwback pic and looking at this now is making me crave for it so bad 😩 I want to eat this soon again.
I followed this recipe with some tweaks: https://mykoreankitchen.com/kimchi-jjigae/
👩🏻🍳 used lean pork instead of pork belly
👩🏻🍳 instead of water, I used anchovy stock. But I used a smaller amount anchovy stock cube and more kimchi to compensate (did not use soy sauce). Also, for soup dishes, avoid drinking all the soup (see sodium content below).
👩🏻🍳 you can’t make this dish without gochujang, so I guess start low first and slowly add more while tailoring to your taste preferences.
👩🏻🍳 added a whole load of veggies to get dat xTra fibre!
While my portion is definitely smaller than the one you find outside, this is the NIP for the average Korean Jiggae outside:

GARLIC HUMMUS
I finally made hummus after procrastinating for 3 years. I have repeatedly bought canned chickpeas to motivate myself to make it but they all end up getting expired. I fell in love with hummus for the first time when I was in Oman back in 2018 - I was so inspired to make my own hummus!
Funnily enough just right before making this hummus I choked on a piece of long bean during lunch. I thought I was gonna die lol, I was crying 🥹 That piece of green thing was dangling at the back of my throat, triggering my gag reflex so bad that I threw up (thankfully just the vegetable). My throat hurts so bad even till now, I didn’t dare to eat my lunch afterwards, so this creamy hummus really saved me from my hunger. To my fellow dietetics friends, this is a perfect IDDSI level 4 dish on its own😶
I had so much fun flipping the breads. I used my homegrown basil (v proud plant mom) and made extra so im giving some to my new neighbour and my friends. I hope they like it!

Say hi to my first non-aesthetic food picture!
I was shopping at NTUC after work today & I spontaneously decided to meal prep gochujang udon noodles for my friend & I for tmr. When I’m shopping for veg/fruits, sometimes I pick the uglier looking ones bc it must suck to not have anyone choose you bc of your appearance, even though you may be nice. But today, the broccoli I chose was a little rotten at some parts (I didn’t check). All’s good though, I just cut away those parts, which thankfully weren’t too much. 😀👍🏻
This time round I accidentally added too much cream 😬 I tried to salvage it so tmr I shall get feedback from my friend on this dish. So here’s a tip for you if you are making this + intending to put cream: start with a small amount and build it up to your thickness preference.
It was fun making this. I love to make food for people. I also prepared 2 servings of fruits for us tmr. AND!! I am going to the gym to exercise tmr too. So many good things to look forward to tmr. Life is great.

I saw this bread loaf earlier on and got attracted to the packaging and the big claim, “Low in sugar”. It costs $4.30 for 600g, slightly more than your typical bread loaf.
I toasted this earlier to eat with my leftover hummus, it was so yums. I’m thinking of making scrambled eggs + toast to bring to work tomorrow too. I’ve also prepared a cold brew fruit tea (no sugar) for work tomorrow. And after work I am meeting my partner too! I am so excited for tomorrow already lol 🤣
👩🏻🍳 Opt for whole grains if possible - brown rice, oats, whole meal bread. All of these are higher in many nutrients, but I wanna highlight fibre. Fibre is awesome for u. For two slices, you get 6.0g of fibre.
👩🏻🍳 Fibre makes you feel full so it reduces your chances of overeating - good especially for weight management. Notably, soluble fibre can help to lower the ‘bad’ cholesterol in your blood (PMID: 31126110).
👩🏻🍳 According to HealthHub, your daily recommendation for fibre is 20g for females, 26g for males.
