Tomodachi life screen shot.

My Tomodachi island is filled with a mish mash of family and friend's pets and random tv show characters.

Parfait and a melon float.

This week's parfait at Monkey and Bird is a pear concoction with:

fresh pear (lightly torched), meringue, caramel ice cream, poached pears, caramelized nuts, granola, honey yoghurt cream, custard, panna cotta and ginger jelly.

Sir, I don't think it's ANY of the options you've written down.

Bowl of congee with mushrooms, chilli oil, onsen egg and preserved vegetables.

The mushroom congee topped with egg at Cafe Yoka was delicious.

Jellied chicken soup.

Stuffed paprikas.

Dichroic umbrella in the game FFXIV

Thanks, I had to get one after I saw one in FFXIV

Dichroic umbrella in today's rain.

Rainy day ☔

Cyclone Narelle is busy up north of us. Stay dry and safe, everyone.

I should probably do the event some time

Small Alocasia next to a large one.

Found this baby Alocasia sarawakensis just chilling in my "to compost" pile of dry leaves. I'm amazed the hot dry weather didn't kill it.

I can't remember when I might have pulled anything off the mother plant but life finds a way. Potted it up and I guess I have a bonus baby.

Beef carpaccio and monkey bread with whipped butter.

Osso bucco risotto

Duck breast.

Tried out Alba at Yagan Square.

The beef carpaccio was really nice. Also pictured: Osso bucco risotto and duck breast.

The new leaves of this Monstera borsigiana Albo cutting have some patches of chlorophyll.

One of its previous leaves was entirely white which gave me worry for a few weeks. The ghost leaf fell off after some cold damage but the plant seems healthy.

Oops, I've been busy and the Hydrocotyle is overgrown badly. This is actually after I've removed maybe 30% of it already.

I'm thinking of pruning back to show more of the wood. Maybe also getting some mini Xmas moss.

I'm now imagining someone examining your hands with a magnifying glass.

(Great work as usual)

Simplified Nyonya Acar (Spicy Pickled Vegetables) I’ve always been fond of pickled and fermented vegetables, like sauerkraut, kimchi and Middle Eastern pickled turnips.  So it’s no surprise that I love acar (also spelled achar), which …

Got a random craving for nyonya acar, guess I'm heading back to the grocery store tomorrow.

In case anyone wants a recipe, I'll be vaguely following this one (but using fresh turmeric not powder. ) divinelydelish.com/2019/04/03/s...

Ok which one of you did this?

Excuse me?? Can you stop being so talented all the time??? 😤

Admiring the blood moon. Wish I had a better camera.

Kuih lapis, Malaysian sweet.

Got some kuih lapis today from Cafe Karache. It's really fresh and nice, maybe I should try their iftar buffet some time.
