Hey everyone, I hope you are having a decent 2021 so far. While the world is still facing a pandemic, life still has to go on. It has been a busy year for me so far. Aside from starting university studies, hubby and I moved from Washington to Texas early in the year! It took a little bit of time to get settled. A month after that, I had to go back to Singapore to update some paperwork and my passport. I was quarantined for 2 weeks for my trip back to Singapore. The pandemic has made it extremely difficult to travel back and forth, which is part of the reason why I am currently back in Singapore. My sister’s getting married at the end of the year and I’ve decided to stay till then so that I won’t miss it.

It’s really frustrating to be doing the long distances again with hubby, I thought that LDR would no longer happen for us but I guess things changed. On the upside, I got to celebrate Hari Raya with my family for the first time since 2012! Here is some really awesome food I ate:

During the fasting month, my dad cooked a lot of delicious noms for my family to eat. I decided to help in the kitchen for some of the days and this is a short video of his Mee Hong Kong recipe. While the name seems specific, it does not come from Hong Kong! This wet noodle dish is best described as a cross between a Char Hor Fun and Hokkien Mee in my opinion. I think it personally came from Malay people’s twist on those dishes. As Singapore is a melting pot of people, many types of food have been inspired by other multiple cultures and created to be uniquely Singaporean.

Apologies for the not-so-accurate recipe on the video! My dad is an agak-agak chef as well! I hope you have the rest of 2021 will be good for you. Till next time!
