Curry, curry how we love thee.

This is THE Hainanese Curry.

A crowd favorite of my pack. They will literally eat this every day, if only i'd say yes. 😂 (if they knew how close i was about to crumble & give in too!)


At long last, after endless requests, I got to make this tempting version at home, with the taste ~exactly like Encik Tan's.
My boy, while having it for dinner, gave it an 8️⃣, then a 9️⃣, then finally "Can i give it a 🔟?", he asked. 😂 just kept tastin' better & better, no? 😅

Japanese potato salad, onegaishimasu!!!

Refreshing Crunch in every bite Nice touch of creamy from the potatoes and dressing Wonderful colors BEST of ALL: HEALTHY 🥗  Ingredients  3 potatoes, boiled &  roughly  mashed  1/2 cup of picnic ham, or 1/2 can of Spam, diced and fried. 1 cucumber, sliced 1 carrot, julienne 1/2 cup sweet corn,  1/2 cup picnic ham, diced &fried Japanese mayonnaise (*or any mayo) vinegar 1 boiled egg (optional) Salt and pepper to taste. 🥗  Steps Once the potatoes and ham are done, boiled-mashed, fried, respectively. mix altogether in a big bowl. Serve warm immediately, or it can also be served after being chilled for an hour (if in a rush 30 mins in the chiller will do.) The kids preferred without onions, so I always exclude it. Pair with some nicely fried food, like Japanese sausages, or chicken nuggets; world peace over dinner is hugely important. 💡 Inspired by: Ochikeron & Just One Cookbook
