LOL

expected turkey tacos supper tonight.

ooh that could be interesting. I�ve heard of people who post food on social media and don�t actually eat it.

KL ( Kuala Lumpur ) fried Hokkien mee and chicken curry ( shared )
Oops , added breakfast fruits too ..


Yellow flat noodles - KL Hokkien mee & bit of pappadams , cashew nuts

Blueberries , melon & pineapple .. handcrafted snowflakes by artisan in Ise , near Amanemu

Two slices of pizza leftover from last night. 1 - Greek with feta, black olives and onions. 2 - Supreme Deluxe with ham, pepperoni, sausage, bacon, green pepper, onion, tomato.

Reheated on a griddle.

I'll be the first to admit I'm not the skinniest, however, I do eat what I make/post. I just suck at posting photos about it.

I'm just seeing course after course. Who eats that much? Yes, on a special occasion, but several times a week?

Personally I don't, but I just make a dish or two at a time unless I know I'm having guests (which hasn't been for a long time). I know in Singapore, you sweat it all out in a few hours if you don't have air conditioning (one time I went to an ex-colleague's office... maybe a 20 minute walk from the MRT station... by the time I got there, I had to change out of my shirt as it was drenched (luckily I was prepared for that). Literally I could sweat out a liter of water in a day there.

Due to the pandemic, I've actually lost weight. Hoping to keep the trend going (safely)

turkey tacos with flour tortillas





Are the snowflakes for decor or consumption? They look like wood pieces.

Well some of the multi course meals are tiny portions but I agree...there is a LOT of food sometimes. That kind of meal would maybe be once or twice a year if that. What gets me is the amount of sugar some people eat.
A friend gave me some home made chicken salad that is really good (apples, raisins, almonds etc) and I had some Hawaiian rolls in the freezer so dinner for me was 2 chicken salad sandwiches (those rolls are very small) & it was delicious.

Agreed here as well. What gets me are the desserts. Admittedly, I don�t really have a sweet tooth. Plus, I�m horrible at baking. However, I see posters that are eating these huge desserts with every meal. Personally, I don�t know how they do it.

The snowflakes ( have 3 , other coasters & 2 lamps which might have been in photos with Advent Tea calendar post ) are wood by an artisan in his 70s , gaobest . He is rather talented and carved a canoe too , besides Japanese screens . Repairs antique clocks , record players and such . Amazing but somewhat cluttered workshop .

Yes , the humidity in Singapore is something else , was baking the past few days & wondered what happened to the NE Monsoon .. supposed to be cooler dropped to 21 C 😉 😂 briefly last year or perhaps in January . Then it thunderstormed & poured in the afternoon till evening . The poinsettias , etc are relieved too . Good thing it was not too heavy driving to dinner .

Losing weight too , 😊 , despite eating with a vengeance � around the world � while not having to use the passport .
This month , like now , was supposed to be inflight to SEA & YVR and / or potentially SFO after the Munich CHRISTmas markets were cancelled - just think no forest mushrooms , mulled wine - missing all those other CHRISTmas goodies and the cool .

So after skipping lunch , returned to Table at 7 , second time in 5 days . They serve Asian Indonesian cuisine and modern European fare .
Went the whole hog & had the CHRISTmas dinner set ( plus more ) . You get the drift from the photos ..

If anyone posted a recipe on this thread or the other one, can you please repost them on the "recipe" thread.

I appreciate it.

My father in law received a gift package of Omaha Steaks. Along with steaks, it contained three 4-packs of burgers and he gave us one. I will cook those tonight on the grill and serve with cole slaw and ranch beans.

A college friend was in town last night and getting a reservation on short notice for a group meant there were slim pickings but we managed to snag a table at Shaw's. ( I don't think any of us had been there in 20 years.) I had a really good chopped seafood salad, and just finished the leftovers for lunch.

I find the heat and humidity just suppresses appetite in general so I just generally ingest less. Maybe never spend enough time in some place that warm and humid to get acclimatized. I had a conversation with a Malay Singaporean who moved to somewhere with a climate similar to YYZ except it's generally arid in summer rather than humid (YYZ can be worse than SE Asia it he summer for that). He told me that on his visits to Singapore, he couldn't get used to the heat or humidity either.
