Since last month, I have been cooking dinner not only on weekends but weekdays after work too, because eating out is so costly and we are also bored to think of what to eat everyday.
My time is always very rush, left office about 6pm and I normally reach home around 7 – 7.15pm depending how bad the traffic is. Then quickly I would start preparing the ingredients, sometimes I do get my maid to wash the vegetables and marinade the meat for me before I got home so it makes my work easier and faster. My maid have already cooked the rice and soup also because Dillon and Kaith will have dinner earlier too.
I always prepare very simple dishes, normally 3 dishes and I’d need roughly 30 minutes to get it done, and my husband really enjoy homecooked food, plus it is cost saving too.
Our simple dinner, consists of Red spinach with fish paste & KeiZhi, Beancurd with minced meat and carrot dice, Chicken with bitter gourd in black dace sauce:

1Karen, you are so geng! Can prepare 3 dishes within 30 mins. For me, sometimes I need more than 30 mins to get 3 dishes done.
Anyway, normally I only cooked 2 dishes and I only cook 3 times a week. So you are a very good mommy and wife. Prepared so many nice dishes for your family although you are tired from work.
karenyiau: Actually nowadays I cook 2 dishes also most of the time, because only me & hubby eating, and he “complaint” that he can’t finish all, well it’s a good news to me then, hehehehe
