Steak Salad with Roasted Garlic Peppercorn Sauce

My homemade version of a healthy ‘steak frites’ comes without the fries, lol. I made a creamy and thick roasted garlic peppercorn sauce to go with the beef just like how it would be like having the same in a restaurant that’s usually served with a flavoursome sauce too. Instead of having any carbs, I […]

Cone Picking @ Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park – A DIY Home Decor Idea

On the previous occasion when the husband and I came to the Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park for fish feeding (an excellent way to use up those day-old bread if not eating them), we spotted some interesting trees at Bishan Park 1 surrounding the playground area which produced cones that resembled the Christmassy ones. This particular […]

Stuffed Cucumbers Recipe

I came up with this dish after getting some cooking inspiration from a home-cooked meal at a friend’s house some weeks back.

ButterScotch Cafe @ Bukit Merah Central

I’ve long heard about the cafes at Bukit Merah Central that have garnered raving reviews on social media but it’s a part of Singapore that I don’t really come to often because it’s quite out of the way for me. When I was at IKEA Alexandra the other day, I thought I’d just swing by the […]

West Grill Station Yio Chu Kang @ Blk 630 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4

Until a few months back when West Grill Station opened that I realised how much life […]

Stuffed Peppers with Salsa Rice and Chicken

Normally, I would bake stuffed peppers in the oven with a layer of cheese on top just like this simple recipe with minced beef, onions and cherry tomatoes. This time round, I decided to make a one dish meal out of red peppers and hence used a mix of brown and red rice to bulk […]

Brand New Lee Kum Kee Seafood XO Sauce and a Stir Fried Prawns with XO Sauce Recipe

XO sauce is a spicy salty seafood sauce commonly used in Cantonese cuisine and is also a popular choice of condiment to go with dim sum. Some of the best XO sauces I ever had were from Super Star Seafood Restaurant 鴻星海鮮酒家 in Hong Kong and Rabbit Brand Seafood Delicacies at Circular Road, Singapore. XO […]

Riverwalk Tandoor @ Upper Circular Road

Since my last visit to The Grand Gem Indian Restaurant @ Grand Bluewave Hotel in Johor Bahru, I really missed a good Indian buffet with robust-tasting dishes and lots of gravies and spices. One of my foodie friends recommended Riverwalk Tandoor which I had passed by countless times but never did I go in once […]
