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? 😅

how i met Nancy Drew

It was my sister who introduced me to Nancy Drew and her posse, Bess and George. Back in 4th grade, from a book she brought home from the school library.  Erm, at least that's how I remember it. One Nancy Drew thing stands out in my memory though. The title "The Secret of the Old Clock".  I vividly remember how the book looked, hard-bound, yellow spine, thick pages. The picture in the front cover showed Nancy, alone, crouched on the grass in the quiet woods at night, opening that old clock and looking so, well, so secretive about it!  I recall how i felt then, seeing that picture, there is a thrill, like you were on the verge of discovery of a very precious secret!   Thus, i got hooked in a much enjoyable way.  I had graduated from fairy tales, fables and legends and had moved into mystery. It was one mystery solved after another! A different kind of adventure! How about you?  Were you, or are you an avid Nancy Drew fan? What was your 1st mys...
