Fan Choy (饭菜 in Cantonese) is what I call the ‘dim sum version’ of the char siew rice which is affordably priced (small portion though) and readily available at those stalls selling dim sum and steamed buns at hawker centres or coffeeshops. For my recipe, I chose to use brown rice (it’s healthier than white!) […]
Soup and salad buffet. Again. Well, at least it’s an Italian one this time, haha. I treated the husband and myself to an Italian lunch buffet at Pete’s Place as I had Hyatt Gold Passport points to redeem before they expired very soon. For those of you who haven’t been to Pete’s Place before, when […]
My dearest Mr Guinea Pig has been frequently away from home on business. Sometimes I just feel too lazy to cook for myself. It’s not difficult to grab a takeaway as there are many food choices out there in the hawker centre and coffeeshops in my neighbourhood. But yet, I still don’t know what to eat […]
I made a Low Fat Portobello Mushroom Soup for lunch and thought I should also make some open sandwiches with that freshly baked rye loaf that I bought. This Spicy Prawn and Avocado Sandwich is really easy to assemble with minimal cooking required. I chose to quickly blanch the prawns in boiling water just to […]
Seriously, I would never expect to see authentic Japanese ramen being served in a coffeeshop located at ground level of a HDB flat in Ang Mo Kio. J and I were supposed to have our lunch from Astons Express at the same coffeeshop but we changed our mind after we spotted this new ramen stall. […]
I was craving for sashimi and thought I would check out this little humble Japanese eatery at Thomson Plaza after hearing some raving reviews from fellow foodies about their possibly ‘cheapest in Singapore’ bara chirashi dons. If you aren’t familiar with Thomson Plaza, it might be a bit tricky to locate Sushiro just by looking […]
A brunch recipe which is super easy to make and perfect for those of you who don’t like to do (too much) cooking and cleaning up over the weekend just like me. Each frittata muffin is made up of a hearty breakfast combination – potato, egg, mushroom, cheese, milk and tomatoes – all in a […]
As a working woman I realise, it certainly gets a little challenging to go out and shop for every necessity; be it clothing or groceries. Moreover, after spending an entire day in the office firefighting, who really does have that energy or time to head to the shopping mall or supermarket. I tend to avoid […]
The subject heading is not wrong. This is indeed a low carb pasta recipe as I’ve substituted tagliatelle with baiye tofu instead. Baiye tofu typically comes in a compressed block of beancurd skin so we just need to slice it up in 1cm thickness and then use our hands to loosen it up into individual […]
