I’m not very good at cooking for two.
I’ve tried, believe me, I’ve tried – but I always end up with either one and a half serves (leaving someone rather hungry), or enough to feed a family of six. Football players. While they’re in their carb & protein loading stage. Meaning I have enough food left over to feed me (a non-football playing carbo & protein loading person) for a week.

“New Years Resolutions:
1. Exercise more (gotta keep the effects of cake at bay somehow)
2. Eat more healthily (ditto.)

“So, what’s your signature dish then?” It’s a question you get asked a lot as a foodblogger. That, and “What’s your favourite restaurant?” And, being the jack-of-all-trades / master-of-none that I am, I invariably find myself stumped. Even the question “What’s your favourite cuisine?” is a difficult one for me. Is it the warm, fragrant, gritty homeliness I love about Malaysian cuisine? The clean, subtle, exquisite nature of Japanese? The gutsy, vibrant, unapologetic food of the Italians? I really don’t know. But I have had to make my mind up and pick. A signature dish, that is (I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to pick an answer to the other two). And I think I’m ok with my choice.
