A Memorable Weekend Staycation @ Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore

Hello again Jen. Just a year ago, I was here with my family for their weekend brunch buffet at the former Cafebiz (now renamed to J65). And last month I was back with my husband because the kind folks at Hotel Jen Tanglin had hosted us for a one-night stay which happened to coincide with […]

Mustafa Centre @ Little India – The place for affordable nuts, dried fruits & groceries

Have you guys been to Woodlands Terrace yet for your CNY shopping? I was there on the weekend – people mountain people sea as usual. Managed to snag salmon fillets, smoked salmon and squids from Fassler, assorted CNY cookies from DJ Bakery, sauces from Chuen Cheong and a bunch of different steamboat ingredients from Li […]

Lower Peirce Reservoir Park

Good morning sunshine! ☀☀☀ The husband and I went for a walk at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park as I wanted to feed the fishes. When we were done, we decided to go the opposite direction towards Upper Thomson Road so we could deviate from our usual route just for a change. I was glad we […]

Minced Chicken with Salted Mustard and Tomatoes

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!

Saga Seeds Picking @ Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West – A Valentine’s Day Gift Idea

Spaghetti with Laksa Pesto

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 […]

Seasonal Salad Bar @ Toa Payoh Central (1-for-1 Main Course with The Entertainer App)

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 Fried Rice Recipe (with salmon)

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. Quinoa is a type of grain but it’s a protein (not carb) and it’s wheat-free so it’s very suitable for people on gluten-free or low-carb diets. […]

Kim Dae Mun Korean Food @ Concorde Hotel

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 […]
