There’s no better time than now to have simple porridge fare with a dish like this cos’ most of us would probably be feasting to our tummies’ content from next weekend onwards as it’s going to be the Lunar New Year! I don’t really eat salted or pickled vegetables that much because of their high […]
This garden really brought back a lot of fond childhood memories. I remembered how I used to come here with my friends after going to the library on the opposite side of the road. Because we would race one another up the steps just to be the one to reach the top. Anyway the husband […]
There are no national boundaries in the world of food. I really couldn’t agree more with this. There are just so many variations we can come up with for every dish and it’s done by putting together different flavours and ingredients that somehow still marry in the end. Europe meets South East Asia in this […]
I’m quite amused by the ever-changing names of the salad bar above KFC at Toa Payoh Central. It was where Sizzler once sat before the brand left Singapore’s F&B scene totally. Next came Chums Steakhouse. Then came Seasonal Salad Bar. And now? It’s called Krazy Salad Bar. While they were all different entities, what they […]
Quinoa (pronounced ‘keen-wah’) is not something that’s commonly served in restaurants here in Singapore and most probably many families might not even hear of or know much about it.

Kim Dae Mun used to be a Korean food stall located at the food court of the former Le Meridien Hotel (now known as Concorde Hotel) on Orchard Road. I was initially disappointed when the food court was gone because that just meant I couldn’t get to enjoy great authentic Korean food at wallet-friendly prices […]
Since I bought a new slow cooker a while ago (can’t believe I took this long as it’s such a handy appliance to have!!), I’ve been experimenting with new recipes such as this one-pot rice dish which is like the Middle Eastern version of a chicken dum biryani. What I really like about it is its exotic flavours […]
Hong Kong Style Dim Sum is one of my favourite weekend breakfast or brunch food. It’s just so satisfying to indulge in a bowl of hot comforting porridge (it has to be century egg one haha) with a variety of steamed or fried snacks. Makes me hungry now I’m thinking about it, lol. G and […]
This was a dish that my Granny would make for me when I was younger and I remembered how I would always pick out the peas because I hated them (well, not anymore now), haha. She will probably be proud of me now that I’m eating my peas and cooking this dish that is very […]
