I know I am a late bloomer but I have seriously only recently discovered the fun of wearing define lenses. So I tried one box out a few months ago and today, I splurged on 6 boxes from an optical shop in Tiong Bahru Plaza.
Bought these FreshLook Illuminate from Tiong Bahru Plaza
Do my peepers look Illuminated?

I am not Cantonese but I do love soups. Chinese soups to be exact. As a result of my love for soups, I am constantly on the quest for Chinese soup recipes so I can make authentic Chinese soups. Today, I woke up and felt a craving for my all time favourite - Lotus Root with Red Dates and Spare Ribs Soup.
Ingredients:
. Lotus root
. Red dates
. Spare pork ribs
. Wolfberries
Method:
. wash, peel and cut lotus root into 0.5 cm slices
. soak wolfberries in some water
. blanch pork ribs with hot water to remove excess fat/coagulated blood/smell
. all ingredients into pot and add 1.5litres hot water
. boil soup till it bubbles then turn to low heat to continue cooking for about 30 to 45 minutes (depends how thick you want your soup)
. add dash of salt and pepper to taste if you like (personally, i prefer no additives)
. when done, turn heat off and drain wolfberries from water before adding to soup
. soup is ready to serve
My home-made Lotus Root with Red Date and Spare Ribs Soup
Made Sweet and Sour Chicken to go with steamed rice, boiled Phuay Leng and of course the soup
