Thanks for the fun times!
As some of you already know, today is my last day at 3eep/SportsPassion. It’s been an amazing journey and I’m already looking forward to my next adventure! Here’s a few things I’ve learnt over the past few years in product management: Responding to the community is not the same as reacting to the community Good [...]
Read moreSpicy Tofu with Coriander & Lime
This is a dish I had for breakfast at a great place called Burasari, just off Patong Beach in Thailand. It tastes a little like a soupy version of salt and pepper tofu. Though I had this in Thailand, I think it’s more of a Chinese influenced dish (which seems to be quite common around [...]

Read moreProduct naming hell

Read moreNan’s Zucchini Bread
I love this recipe. As a kid, my sister & I used to visit my Nan in Queensland’s Gold Coast every year. She would always have a zucchini loaf waiting for us (my other Grandmother always had a Honey cake awaiting our arrival, and yes, I was spoiled as a young child, and in need of a good dentist). This recipe makes 2 x loaves, although you could always half it if you only wanted to make one (but trust me, you’ll want two… and if you don’t, you can always give one to your Nan or neighbour, or just stick it in the freezer). My Nan usually eats this with a good slather of butter (but she is from New Zealand where butter was a staple for her generation). I prefer it straight up with a cup of tea. Enjoy!
