My Simple Lunch

When it comes to lunch, I sometimes find myself stuck in a rut and wondering what to eat. With busy days and little time to spare, elaborate meals are rarely on the menu. I often buy food from the morning market like fried chicken wings, chicken rendang or dishes from the mixed rice shop to eat for lunch. After having those for a while, I get really bored.

I’ve come to appreciate the beauty of a simple, fuss-free lunch. Today’s lifesaver? A humble wrap filled with eggs, spinach, and cheese. It’s nothing fancy, but it’s quick to make, nutritious, and most importantly, tasty.

I bought a box of spinach last week and was hoping to make some wraps for missy when she goes back to her dorm but I was too busy last weekend to cook any food for her. The spinach was going to turn yellow soon so I thought I better whip up something.

Beat 2 eggs and fry them on the pan.

Add handful of spinach onto the egg.

I didn’t have mozzarella on hand so I made do with a bag of mixed cheese meant for pizza toppings. The blend melted beautifully.

Fold the egg in and it looks like wrapped tortilla. This simple combination was warm, hearty, and comforting. There’s no fancy ingredients or complicated steps. Just something that I can whip up in minutes.

If you’re like me and find yourself out of lunch ideas, give this wrap a try.

An Enjoyable Dinner With Friends At Xinga Pot

A few nights ago, my friends and I had a cozy dinner at Xinga Pot, a Hong Kong-style steamboat place that left me all raving. Xinga Pot is situated in Uptown Damansara and its setting is inspired by vintage Hong Kong. This restaurant has a nostalgic vibe that sets the mood for an unforgettable meal.

I love the retro decor, neon signage and old-school Cantonese songs by my favourite singers, Jacky Cheung, Danny Chan, Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui that was played all night long.

The Hong Kong backdrop of Causeway Bay. My friend actually remember the shop Yue Hwa in Hong Kong.

Love the green grills that divide the table. I love the benches that give the retro ‘cha chan teng‘ vibe.

The star of the night was, without question, Xinga Pot’s Signature Golden Fish Tripe Chicken Soup. This golden, silky broth is boiled for 8 hours using carefully curated ingredients. The result? A rich, nourishing soup base so delicious that I could drink the entire pot myself. It’s so good that the soup elevated every ingredient we dipped into it.  The handmade paste, fresh meat and vegetables are prepared with attention to details. The simple condiments like garlic, fried shallots, chili sauce let us customize every bite to our liking.

There is a variety of other soup bases available like Buddha Jump Over The Wall Pot, Shaoxing Lala Prawn Pot, and the Peppery Pig Stomach Pot. There’s even a Xinga Pot Premium Mala Pot for spice lovers, as well as milder options like the Mixed Mushroom Pot or Pickled Cabbage Pot. If you can’t decide, then you can opt for a mix of 2 soup bases.

We had an enjoyable night of comforting hotpot and laughter.

Here’s Xinga Pot social media pages.

My Sheldon

One day when I got home, I stumbled upon an unexpected sight. This fella was sleeping on the porch, basking in the sun.

Missy bathes Sheldon and Cooper every weekend when she’s back from her uni. After shower, these 2 will be tied at the porch so that they can be dried under the sun. As usual, this naughty Sheldon will be barking non-stop because he doesn’t like to be under the sun. It’s his least favorite place. Cooper will be seeking shade or curling up near cooling tiles. But this fella will be walking around restlessly and making a lot of noise.  So you can see why I’m surprised to see him lounging in the sun on a hot day.

Our pets have their own whims, moods, and favorites, and Sheldon’s unexpected sunbathing episode brings a smile to my face.
