continue diligently my daily self care routine = morning walks (wednesday run with LCH) and exercises and taiji practice and weekly taiji class, and 10- target 30mins meditation.
and i am starting vegetarian with RI friend THK every 初一十五 (i am certain i will continue this)
start a small herbs patch and tidy up the place
one important activity i started in 2020 courtesy of covid-19 and CB is i started “cook and deliver” once weekly for my brother family, and in return my brother also did that for us. i started with ordering couple times takeaway during CB for my brother but not suiting their palate…so homecooked food it is!
i know my brother think it is very meaningful and so do i, so it’s something we will continue doing in 2021. 🙂
i know my resolutions are underwhelming, not at all ambitious, but it is something i can do, want to do, will do, so they are good for me la!
intended results of self care routine would include –
weight management
monitoring the 三高=blood pressure, sugar and cholesterol (so only target is to bring down cholesterol to 200, the other 2 are normal for now)
the vegetarian part helps in this target as well and also a very small part in sustainable living.
A & KC hosted 6pax dinner at home on 30.10.2020. ^^..
their helper irene made excellent oven roasted pork ribs and bittergourd fish head ..
that was the best oven baked prime ribs i have taken. KC bought the expensive ribs from huber dempsey, and & trial tested the dish with irene, essence of a good chef…ribs were very meaty and fork tender and because it was very good ribs with good marbling it was not chunky but very tasty..excellent marinade…
the fish head also excellent, very meaty and tasty and flavourful, excellent dish.
plus 2 nice vegetable dishes – prawn chap chye and prawn asparagus.
had 5pax dinner with brother, sil & chuan @ silk sicc on 29.10.2020.
food here always good, yum yum.
peking duck was competent.
and the complimentary second dish braised duck beehoon was excellent, very tasty. reason i ordered peking duck.
1/2 crispy roast duck was one of the best in town.
beef cubes in foie gras sauce was excellent, & truffle beancurd very good.
asparagus with huai san was good.
ordered couple of dessert. hasma was good, mango aloe vera so so, guilinggao was good. dessert here average.
brother and family enjoyed the food.

focaccia bread soft & nice beef carpaccio was good, sweet.
we ordered 3 pastas.
lobster pasta below average..lobster meat not done well, so not the standard of super tender, sweet, fresh delivery…pasta tomato sauce ok average…
sakura ebi tagliolini was tasty flavourful..
squidink risotto was cheesy, tasty ok just not enough squidink flavours…
colour not black enough..did not have the creamy black texture most good pasta restaurants produce..basically like when i did not have enough squidink to cook my pasta or risotto.
belly pork was good serving also steep price at S$35..texture ok flavours good too…
service was good & they offered a slice birthday cake 👍
overall quite average food kind of underwhelming than expected for a good class restaurant like oso.
