SERVES 4
4 cod fillets (approximately 100g each) 2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
2 stalks lemongrass, bruised

2 chilli padi, chopped
1 cup white wine
1kg live mussels, washed, and de-bearded
Juice of 1 large lime
2 sprigs coriander, roughly chopped
2 kaffir lime leaves, finely sliced
DIRECTIONS
- Heat the oven to 230 degrees Celsius. Season the fish fillets with olive oil, salt and pepper. Place the fillets on a tray and bake in the oven for 10 minutes or till cooked through. Place the fillets in a big bowl each. Keep warm.
- In the meantime, melt the butter in a pot, and cook
the garlic and onion for 5 minutes. Add the turmeric, lemongrass, fish sauce and chilli padi. When the onion has turned translucent, add the white wine. Let it come to a boil and then, add the mussels. Cover the pot
with the lid. Leave the mussels on high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, shaking the pot from time to time. - Remove the lid. The mussels should all be open (discard any un-opened ones). And add the coconut milk. Once it starts to bubble, turn off the heat and add the lime juice. Give it a good stir and pour into the bowls with the fish fillets. Garnish with chopped coriander and kaffir lime leaf. Serve immediately with some crusty bread or rice to soak up all that lovely sauce!

Wall of Hope
I’M A SURVIVOR My name is Andi and I'm a cancer survivor.Back in 2004 when I was 16 yo, I was diagnosed with Leiomyosarcoma, it was at the right side of my buttock. Surgery, radiation and also chemotherapy was done at that time. Then in 2009 it relapsed around the same area. In 2022 it relapsed on my right thigh, and again in 2024 it relapsed this time on my left thigh with different type of cancer. Be thankful to GOD, and always believe that He is able to heal us and help us. Andi IN MEMORY OF she touched our lives with her kindness, and no nonsence personality, she will be and is already greatly missed. Karri Hammond IN MEMORY OF Papa, although you’ve passed on 7 years you are still fondly remembered. You’ve taught me many things eg being brave to drive on the road when I got my driving licence and keeping the family together especially during your last stage of life. The many weekends and days that we spent visiting you at the hospice and nursing home helped to bring our family closer. Appreciating family relationships and a good bonding time for all of us. May you be well and happy. 🌷 Papa Chua CT IN MEMORY OF Thanks for all the memories! You are a warrior! IN HONOUR OF You fought hard my dear. You did well! Nicole I’M A SURVIVOR Diagnosed breast cancer in 2010, mastectomy was done, undergone chemotherapy, radiotherapy and also oral. Lucky to have so many friends and family members around me, who gave me so much hope and encouragement. Also attended the CanHOPE support group, where we shared experiences during the sharing session. I also assist to set up Line Dancing sessions for cancer patients since 2011 till now. Stay happy and positive. Patricia Tham Lai Kuan IN MEMORY OF Those we have lost IN HONOUR OF All Survivors. Continue the fight! IN HONOUR OF Jamilah A. I’M A SURVIVOR Cancer very disruptive!! Turned my life upside down. From a focused and down-to-earthperson, I became someone lacking in confident, confused and full of emotions. I hated theword “Strong”. “Be strong”, “Stay strong”, “You are strong”, “Thought you are strong”, blah,blah…. Never an easy journey!!But when you trust, submit and be a true slave to the only ONE, things will get easier. Seekhelp. Make authentic decision for yourself and no one else. Never give up HOPE!! Rose
