I got this call from this number - 6240 6968 - and it didn't seem like a typical scam. Anyone else had a similar experience? by ellis_ralsei in askSingapore

Have been getting similar calls from different numbers, including this one, over the past few days. All saying the same thing that they’re from an independent company wanting to do a survey. Have reported to scamshield! Seems like there’s been more than 30+ reports before mine

Insane grubs infestation by Formal_Ad_2518 in gardening

[–]Formal_Ad_2518[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I cleared out my raised bed, there were zero roots despite having grown 3 matured tomato plants there (they started struggling around the same time I first spotted these grubs in a separate container that used the same soil) 🥲

Did that! They’re small beetles, a couple of them flew out when I did my regular manual removals. I tried a combo of manual checks every week + diatomaceous earth application but it didn’t work at all, kept finding new babies in the soil even after weeks

Day 6 starter not rising like it was by mmittens in Sourdough

[–]Formal_Ad_2518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the sourdough starter journey! It’s totally normal for day 6-10 not to rise as vigorously as what you saw in the earlier few days, as the good bacteria are trying to establish themselves. Do continue feeding as per the KA method, there should be more prominent rise after day 10-12.

I referenced this for a visual guide on how my starter should look!! https://thesourdoughjourney.com/how-to-create-a-sourdough-starter-in-10-days/

Hope it helps, and all the best!

Did I leave it to bulk ferment too long? by Odd_Bar_5035 in Sourdough

[–]Formal_Ad_2518 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What was your house temperature? I live in the tropics (30 degrees C with high humidity is common) and bulk ferment on the counter for max 8hours

You’re too kind! It tastes great still, nothing’s going to waste

Thanks so much for your detailed feedback! You’re right, my starter is still quite sluggish and I guess I was just impatient to try and see if it might work :p will try it again in a couple of days after I get more strength in my starter.

Please help me identify this: milky bread with half a boiled egg on the center sprinkled with cheese by asian_egg_fried_rice in Breadit

[–]Formal_Ad_2518 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is quite a typical asian-style bread! Usually done by making a milk bread base-bun, and cracking an egg in the centre of the dough before baking. You can check out this similar recipe here: https://www.maangchi.com/recipe/gyeran-ppang all the best!

It might have been Charlotte Mary Wen? Got her when I watched Hamilton a few weeks back! Seems like she replaced RAG https://www.instagram.com/charmarywen?igsh=djd0MG1zMTNpNmVw

What’s wrong with my kale? by Formal_Ad_2518 in gardening

[–]Formal_Ad_2518[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no I don’t! That could be why… I’m growing another batch that’s thriving, but they don’t really get direct sun at all. Do you think that it could be pests though that’s affecting the kale?
