My Con"fine"ment Cuisine

It has been 7 weeks now since delivering Baby Kristabelle. My 30-day stint staying home, going through the confinement period have been the most pleasant days of my life. Forget about the taboos and the do's and don'ts during this period - I bathed every single day, shampooed and washed my hair squeaky clean every other day, taking short strolls along the house garden and best of all I was fed like a King, with a vast variety of delactable "non-cooling" meals 3 times a day for 30 days! All thanks to a very special little lady we all fondly call "popo". Every dish had little surprises - the presentation, the flavour, the aroma... all prepared with so much love. I am one lucky woman to have such a talented mom when it comes to cooking.

Here are some of the Masterchef's finest cuisine...
