Oh no, not beef steak again! :)

Our dinner is made up of spaghetti carbonara, rib-eyed and filet mignon. Delicious and nutritious are the two words to describe our dinner.

Instant mee goreng, cakes from Japan and pasta dinner

Since today is a public holiday (Good Friday), many eateries will be packed. To avoid the crowd, we decided to cook the instant mee goreng or fried noodles for lunch. We added some shredded cabbages and a sunny side up fried egg and voila the above. Yummy is the word to describe the mee goreng. Instant noodles usually taste good but doubt they are a healthy choice. It's fine if one eats it once in a while. Eating too often may cause health problem.

Cakes from Japan

This photo was sent to us yesterday by a friend in Japan. It's about the cakes sold in a confectionery.
We were told that these cakes were super yummy. The confectionery uses honey instead of sugar in their cakes and because of this they not only taste better but healthier. Each piece cost about $4.

Pasta for dinner

My wife cooked spaghetti with mussels in minced beef sauce. We topped it up with grated cheese and garnished with broccoli. Each of us had 120 grams of the spaghetti. It was a simple but delicious home prepared meal.
We try and eat mussels at least once a week. It helps in lubricating the joints especially around the knee area.

My Sunday meals

These were my meals for today. Of course,besides the above, I ate some chocolates which we bought from Japan. I am trying to lose some weight so I am eating less now. The bottom picture is the home cooked spaghetti with green mussels (good for the joints) and the topping is a generous serving of shredded cheese.

Afternoon snacks from Japan

Home cooked spaghetti dinner

This is the sliced pork spaghetti with shredded Japanese seaweed and grated Parmesan cheese.

We went to Chong Pang and did some marketing over there this morning. Being a Sunday, the place was very busy and crowded. One consolation was that car parking is free of charge. Depending on where one park his vehicle. If it is nearer to the market center, free car parking is available from 1pm till 7pm otherwise it is the usual 7am till 7pm.
The above is my wife's version of Spaghetti Carbonara. It came with garlic bread and a small bowl of lettuce. Her standard of cooking is definitely better than mine.
These days, we seldom eat out. We feel that home cooked food is healthier and tastier.

Mentai spaghetti and Japanese dinner

Dinner was typically Japanese style. Rice, saba fish, diakon, miso soup, pickled sliced ginger and salted veggie. I would not put on weight when I've this type of dinner. In fact, I would most likely lose a few hundred grams if the lunch is somewhat similar. Instead, lunch was mentai (fish roe) spaghetti.

Yesterday, I talked about the free tablet which was given to me because of the mouse pad ($5.90) which I've paid in addition to the desktop. The brand of the tablet is Lenova which is manufactured in China. It's definitely a good bargain.

Fruits and tuna/tomato spaghetti today

Yesterday's meals mostly Italian except for dinner

The spaghetti carbonara was home prepared but the slice of chicken pizza was from Pezzo take-away. A small piece like the one above cost $4.90 and it can't even fill up my stomach. The taste is not great compared to the plate of carbonara which was prepared at home.
Dinner was a little rice and slices of ginger pork....oiishi ne!

Home prepared meals

Had spaghetti carbonara for lunch and grilled salmon + fried omelette and rice for dinner. Still having this nagging backache. Hopefully, I will recover by tomorrow. The arm is fine now.

Our dinner for today...spaghetti ++

We decided to cook meat sauce spaghetti for dinner. We ground some coriander leaves together with raw garlic and a little bit of cashew nuts into a paste (green paste above) and added to our meal (our apology for the messiness). We sprinkled grated Parmesan cheese and chopped spring onions onto the spaghetti. The salad course is made up of lettuce and broccoli and the dressing is Japanese. It was indeed an enjoyable meal.
Just for information the coriander is a very nutritious plant and has lots of health benefits like anti-histamine, combat indigestion etc...read more

Dinner@ Greenwich V Kopitiam

This is the best place to dine on a Saturday night because it's not crowded. I am talking about Greenwich Village at Seletar Hills. We ordered spaghetti x 2 and a plate of cheese fries which cost $15.39.
The food is not fantastic but bearable.
Yesterday, my wife and I had something similar at Pizza Hut and it cost us almost $30! ....but undeniably better.

My spaghetti dinner

My spaghetti and Salad dinner

The salad (shredded diakon or radish with onions and chilli) looks awful in the photo due to the shredded seaweed. The spaghetti has tomato meat sauce and green mussels on it. It's Saturday and that's the reason we eat in.
