The Secret to Perfect Homecooked Fried Rice + My Husband's Childhood Recipes

But if you ask three different people how they cook it, you’ll probably get three completely different answers! In our household, fried rice isn't just a quick way to clear out the fridge, it's a trip down memory lane. Recently, my husband took over the wok to recreate two nostalgic fried rice recipes he grew up eating as a youngster, alongside our go-to classic version. Watching him cook reminded me that the best meals don’t require fancy ingredients; they just require a few time-tested techniques. Whether you're craving a rich, glossy Kicap Manis version or a classic shrimp stir-fry, here are the absolute must-do steps and golden rules from our kitchen to yours to ensure your fried rice turns out perfectly separate, fluffy, and packed with flavor every single time! 3 Different Recipes, 3 Different Colours of Fried Rice Master Tip #1: The Fried Rice Foundation...

Product Review | Origin Mattress Superior Coolmax® Latex Pillow


Where do you usually get your slumber essentials? Like pillows, bolsters and so on. For me, I usually go for cheap ones at Giant (must be less than $20 or even better, less than $10 each) and didn't think too much about the pros and cons. Even if waking up to body aches and headaches, I live with it till now.

Heard that some humans can even sleep without pillow as it strains their neck (the reason). I can't because my head needs a lift whenever I'm on a lying down position. 

And after so long, I'm introduced to Origin Mattress's Superior Coolmax® Latex Pillow.

Many thanks to Best in Singapore for the recommendation. It is a platform where you go to for the best and quality offers in Singapore, from food to products, and even tips and ideas on how-to. So go on to their website for more information.



Designed in Germany, the Superior Coolmax® Latex Pillow uses Latex foam that has a denser and durable material which helps to mould the shape of your head, giving you the right level of support and pressure relief on the cervical spine.

Using 100% natural materials, the hypoallergenic properties keep you safe from dust mites, bacteria and microbial.

The pillow is designed with their cooling gel formula, suitable for Singapore's weather and it is created with a constant air circulation so as to prevent heat trapped and unpleasant smells (like your drools, hehe).

And it comes with threaded Tencel Fabric Pillow cover that is softer, hypoallergenic and lightweight. You can remove for machine-wash too.






MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

A better sleep for the past 6 nights without slipping off from my new pillow. It gives me the comfort and softness too. And waking up to no strains from the back neck down. It still depends how you sleep at night, your position or posture. Some times you sleep like a shrimp, then at times sleeping face down and so on. You are literally finding the best position during your sleep always (flip one side to another for example). 

My struggle with the old pillow is that it cannot hold my head and neck well because too much stuffing inside that looks so bulging high that causes my cervical spine in an awkward position. That is why in the middle of the night, I can easily slip off from it, sleeping on the edge of the pillow, even when I resort to using a pillow neck on top of it.

Personally feel insecure with the white pillow cover because you know when it gets dirty, it is gonna be so obvious. Probably can change the colour like light grey maybe. Just a suggestion. And when you wash, do use a laundry net so that it wouldn't spoil the threads easily. The cover really looks fragile in my opinion. And don't wash with colour clothing too.



Now through experiencing between a good quality and slightly pricey pillow with a cheap pillow from Giant, really a stark contrast. There is this saying: you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. Don't be like me.
