Congratulations to Singapore and the table-tennis team - finally a silver medal and Singapore making into the Olympic record after 48 years' wait.  When the Singapore flag was raised during the ceremony the pride and emotions that every Singaporeans felt was indescribable.

Steamed Golden Trevalley - may our tennis team plays as swiftly as the fish swims.

Sambal Fried Beans - may our tennis team's passion is hot as chillies.

Fried Tofu with Minced Pork - their playing tactics be flexible

Apples and Fresh Yam Soup - may they be calm and composed

TOMATOES WITH GUAVA

We consume a lot of fruits and vegetables - in salad as a complement to most meals.   Bought 2 big guavas to eat with sweet-salty plum powder and to use some for salad.

Cut tomatoes and guava into slim wedges.   Cut away the seeds from the guava.  Mix the fruits with a dash of pepper and salt, add in preserved olive leaves and mustard sauce.   Mix thoroughly and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Guava is a valuable source of vitamins A, B & C, nicotine acid, phosphorous, potassium, iron, folate and is high in fibre.  Most of guava sold in Singapore is normally the ones with white flesh and those with pink flesh is hard to come by (very fragrance and sweet).
