【牛油果鸡蛋三文治】Avocado Egg Salad Sandwich



我经常做鸡蛋三文治吃,最近家里经常都买有牛油果给宝宝当点心,这个周末我就做了牛油果三文治,夹着自家种的番茄吃,真的很creamy很好吃哦!

We love egg salad sandwich as breakfast or snacks. As much as I love the taste of mayonnaise in the salad. I have been thinking of making a healthier version using Avocado, part of my eating right and losing weight plan.(Well, that deserves a whole new post I figure).

So I finally made this sandwich as we always keep some avocado at home for baby A. The creamy texture of mashed avocado is just perfect for this sandwich! I must say I really liked it! Yumm!

Kari Kapitan (Captain's Curry) 甲必丹咖喱



When I was young I often think that Kapitan is a mysterious Malay word that means someone in power or royal sort of character. Not until much later that I figured Kapitan is nothing but "Captain" in English. 

That makes the name of this dish all the more interesting, here is the version of the origin of the name of this dish I heard from my pals in Melaka:

It was said that in 18-20 centuries, the British colonized the then Malaya. 

Many of the British officers (a.k.a Captains) were based in Melaka for its world famous seaport. These officers often keep the local Chinese or Baba Nyonya as domestic helpers, most often time, Nyonya as a cook for they are known for their culinary skills.

Spicy Sausage Lentil Soup【意大利香肠豆子汤】



We love Carrabba's Sausage Lentil soup so much that I decided to try it at home. This recipe is my third attempts and it is so delicious and satisfying!

我和老公都很喜欢Carrabba's的这个豆子汤。我在家里做过几次,尝试过两个食谱,再根据自己的喜好做了点调动,这样做出来的汤很好喝。

没胃口的夏日午后来一大碗豆子汤也很满足哦!
