Broccoli Slaw with Yogurt Tumeric Dressing and Nigella Seed

21st December 201511th October 2019 - Admin

One of the green that does not always form part of SOTG staple is the lucky broccoli. Though I love it especially when being steamed or stir fried, my other half does not fancy it. So when Mr E went on a work trip, I rolled up my sleeve for this all-star food that comeRead more

Cucumber and Apple Kerabu Salad

20th December 201511th October 2019 - Admin

What is ‘kerabu’? It is an Asian salad that I grew up with – a staple in South East Asian culinary offering. The balance of sweet-sour-spicy-salt combine with fresh ingredients sum up a perfect kerabu. It is all in the dressing! I enjoy making kerabu because it is very easy, quick and require minimal cookingRead more

Instagram post 2177009569280848579_2112994639 Mmm, it’s good tentacles. . Didn’t have it when I was in Italy - it’s popular along the Mediterranean and Adriatic Coast. Had this last night since it’s one of the signature dishes, after munching those long skinny ‘breadsticks’ (Grissini is Italian for breadstick). Ok please don’t shoot me as I break my plant-based diet but I do love seafood. Seemed kind of tough, but this tentacle was grilled well and tender while still having a nice, firm chew. The overall flavour wasn’t quite there - ok potatoes and nice salty kalamata. Sadly, not much punch from pinzimonio and parsley sauce. Second visit wasn’t as great as the first about a year ago. A little letdown, but a nice outing nonetheless. How do you like your octopus? What’s your favourite Italian dish? . #hungryrunner #sotgfoodie #fms_dark #octopus🐙 🇮🇹 @grandcopthornewaterfront
Instagram post 2174198710108253204_2112994639 Expansive scenery from the top was impressive especially the coastline and little pocket of sandy beaches. Autumn weather showcased shiny seas of silver grass along the trail. Must do hiking trek when in Lantau (other than Lantau Peak). . Sunset Peak route part of 50 km trail race last weekend - the third highest peak in HK. . And yes it’s relatively safe to travel to HK just avoid impacted areas at night. Good to take advantage of low hotel rates and flight fare.☺️Agree? . Hope weekend is a blast one with you! 📷@ekhman07 #lantau #hkissafe #instasgsundayvacation #thegreenrace #sotgtravel 🇭🇰
Instagram post 2172775968603402629_2112994639 Trail running 60km in beautiful countryside and coastal of Narva near the Russian border inside the latest Oct & Nov @runsg issue. . Good topics caught my attention: Pyramid intervals, how to rectify running compensation pattern, how to run in the heat, the need for Vitamin C to stimulate collagen production and why collagen is good for the athlete (hello beef broth!) . Also a nice lowdown with @annaeberhardttri triathlete pro! Finally, this @theragun meant to help with muscle recovery. It even appeared in @goop! Anyone tried? On the island, grab it with 11.11 discount from run store @reddotrunningco . So go ahead subscribe your copy for only SG$2 if you haven’t already! . Lovely pictures courtesy of talented 📷@jvimgs @irinakivimae (better check their accounts for stunning Estonia shots and like them already) . #sotginmedia #youarewhatyouread #estoniaultratrailrace @atihonov

Instagram post 2166938627699852547_2112994639 Nowhere near PB/PR (nor slowest), but always grateful for a smooth and enjoyable run. Two sachets of @puresportsnutrition energy gels, and two water stops. . A great organisation from volunteers to police officers looking after runners very well. A mixture of road and trail, countryside view along the river, paddy field, and palm oil plantation. Generous traditional food provided after the race not surprisingly for the food capital of Malaysia. . Some highlights were: 1. Quotes on banners: 4KM ’I run so I can eat’ and 20KM ’Pain Is Not Last Forever’. 2. Seeing a runner approaching the finishing line saying ”I’m finishing my 99th marathon” to his phone 💪. . @michquah85 The one hour yoga was beneficial for stretching and relaxing prior to this race. I’ve enjoyed it. Thanks! . #podium #whenflatisntsobad #balikpulaumarathon #balikpulaumarathon2019 @capsters @simplyactiveasia 🐢

Instagram post 2166885279751634713_2112994639 HARMONY & LEGACY The rich tapestry of migrants who came to establish many things - businesses, commerce, trading or house of worships that ended up leaving traces and legacy till today. As seen on the buildings during a short stroll around the heritage area. 1. Acheen Street Malay Mosque 1808: endowed by Acehnese merchant-prince of Arab descent. The octagonal minaret (not to be mistaken by a lighthouse), the combination of Moorish, Chinese and classical influence. Street art on the right side of the wall ‘Boy on a chair’ by @ernestzacharevic somehow didn’t catch much of my attention but a popular attraction among Insta lovers. ... 2. Yap Kongsi Temple: intricate exterior and roof detailing of dragons. One of important Hokkien Chinese temple. The rickshaw or trishaw part of a must-to-do list in Penang (apparently way cheaper here than in Malacca) ... 3. The Old World at Beach Street: From swampy land to commercial town. Plenty of handsome looking colonial buildings. Armenian physician founded a pharmacy business (George Town Dispensary) located in the white building (Ieft) before moved to the yellow building in 1923. Today a pharmacy continues to exist a succession by George Town Pharmacy that I’m familiar with! ... 4. Found German heritage trail (this is a revelation). 1874 when petroleum lamps for street lighting been introduced by German trader, August Huttenbach. ... 5. Love Lane: those shophouses (some need a little makeover and some been polished) where cafes, street arts, and hip hostels near each other bringing new shine to the city. Charming and authentic still prevail just hope the rate of gentrification not happening too rapidly. ... #penangstory #sotgtravel #unescoworldheritage #architecture
Instagram post 2160998675380003173_2112994639 The Premier Hotel East of The Suez 🌴 This 19th-century hotel situated in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Georgetown; not prime for the prettiest (or cleanest) ocean view but for the colonial glory and history which being recreated and added in modern comfort. Seafront view of Andaman Sea (technically Straits of Malacca) almost on every corner; the room balcony, Level 6 courtyard at Planters Lounge for all-day dining spot, the pool, spa and my favourite, the gym (check out treadmill’s view 3rd picture, could run long here no issue at all 😊). 🌴 Island’s grandest property (the Heritage Wing in the second picture) is still under makeover to be opened in Dec but till then the Victory Annexe building is fully functioned. It’s the Armenian Sarkies brothers who founded the hotel; took advantage of Suez Canal opening and recognised the rising interest of ‘globetrotters’ to discover exotic East through Penang as hub (who also a few years later founded the Raffles Hotel in Singapore). 🌴 Recalling high school history lesson, did you know the island was named as Prince of Wales Island (btw the current prince stayed here in 2017) for 50 years before Penang? And did you know till now (almost two centuries later since the treaty being signed with BEIC), the state government still pays annually an equivalent of US$5k to the Sultan of one of the Northern state? 🌴 An easy stroll from here to wander the heritage site and landmark. Next post 🌴 What’s your take on history? Do you learn history about a place before travel or while travel? . #sotgtravel #justgotbackfrom #eohotel #easternorientalpenang 🇲🇾@eohotelpg
