Celebrate the National Day month of August with a truly Singaporean National dish. Chili crab has been promoted by the Singapore Tourism Board as one of Singapore’s National dishes. I remember chili crab was one of my mother’s special dishes too. As the years flew by, I have recreated this Fragrant Blue Ginger Classic Chili crab which is mildly spicy, and has a sweet yet savory flavour with the fresh succulent crab meat. Best served with any breads but I recommend these traditional leaven rolls which are crispy on the outside and fluffy and soft inside, which is supremely satisfying.
Wholesome and healthy traditionally baked rolls dipped in fragrant Chili crab tangy gravy are the way to go.
Wishing Singapore a happy 56th birthday!
Singapore is a multi-cultural society. We have a wide variety of food from all over the world. It is meaningful to celebrate our National Day with multi-cultural foods which are simple to make, using the finest ingredients easily available in our land.
All these three recipes are easier than they look. I have chosen the Red and White theme, like our National colors. Wishing everyone Happy National Day with good health and prosperity.
Many people who have eczema are also diagnosed with food allergies. However, everyone is different and discovering your personal food needs is important to minimize issues with allergies and eczema.
Eating anti-inflammatory foods may help lessen or reduce eczema symptoms. This includes eating fatty fish, such as sea bass, cod, salmon and herring. Fish oil contains high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which are anti-inflammatory. Fresh vegetables and fruits especially apples, winter melon and cauliflower contain flavonoid which is also a powerful antioxidant and antihistamine. Probiotic food such as miso contain live cultures that help support a strong immune system. This may help reduce flare-ups or allergic reactions. Truffles help to regulate immune functions which is good news for anyone who has an immune-related skin issue like psoriasis or eczema. In addition to their distinct taste and aroma, truffles are also highly nutritious, rich in antioxidants and may possess antibacterial, anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties. Black truffles also have the remarkable ability to fade forms of hyperpigmentation like age spots, acne scarring, and freckles.
Foods considered to be eczema-friendly may trigger a flare-up in those who are allergic to them. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all eczema diet, though eating a diet rich in antioxidants may help reduce symptoms.
