Chilli padi and spring onions



Besides other plants we also grow chilli padi and spring onions. Actually I was surprised to discover that chilli padi could grow in autumn. All along I thought it was a summer plant.

Malay rice lunch, Day 3 of growing towgay and spring onion









This Malay rice is from a coffee shop stall at Serangoon Garden. Two plates of rice,a piece of chicken rendang, 2 fish cutlets in asam pedas, a small dish of sambal goreng and a plate of bayam vegie cost $12 which is inexpensive. However, about a year ago, the food tasted better and a bit more expensive. Today,the quality has deteriorated and I suspect the original cook has left. As for the bean sprouts or towgay which I am experimenting growing them (as well as the spring onion plants) in my apartment, this is the 3rd day since I've started. Looks like within the next 2 days,we should be able to harvest them.

Growing spring onions (my first time)




This is my first time growing spring onions. I love to see the plant sprouting from the shallots that we kept for cooking. I am inexperienced in gardening stuff as I've always live in an apartment throughout most of my life. Therefore, I am excited about the whole thing. Perhaps, it is the start of my new hobby.


My Sunday brunch





I've recently started to add more fruits to my diet. As you can see in the picture above, I've bananas, Jack fruits, mangoes and water melon. Eating lots of fruits is good for the skin and overall health.
The other stuff are the gyoza or fried Japanese dumpling which we got from the supermarket. They are delicious and are priced reasonably ( a pkt of 30 pcs cost about $8+). We ate the gyoza with chilli oil mixed with a little vinegar.
