Today is April Fool's Day.

I recall the first April Fool's joke played on me when I was about 8. It was by my sister, Wei.

We were in the garden, at my grandfather's house. There was some sort of party going on. The sky was dark, but the garden was brightly lit with fairy lights.

"Look behind you! An elephant!", exclaimed Wei, pointing behind me.

"Where? Where?" I asked, frantically searching around.

"Hahaha... April Fool!"

"Huh? April what?" I asked, confused and still wondering where the elephant was.

I love cooking with Chinese herbs. They have a very distinct flavour which most people here in UK are unfamiliar with. So they are good for impressing the 'westerners' with my 'exotic' Asian cooking.

To be honest, I didn't really cook much when I was in Singapore. I made up most of the recipes that I cook here. So they probably aren't authentic. But nevertheless, my British friends are impressed (or out of politeness they act so).
