Earlier this year, I went on a bak kut teh eat-venture and decided that this – Soon Soon Heng Bak Kut Teh @ Johor Bahru – was the best BKT I had. I’ve always preferred the Hokkien style of BKT that is darker in colour with the addition of dark soya sauce and it is […]
Update February 2023: Gim Tim is no longer offering this Teochew Porridge Buffet. Whenever I crave for a porridge meal, I would head to either Quality Hotel Marlow or Orchard Grand Court for their porridge buffet as I like their variety of dishes. When I heard that one of my favourite Chinese restaurants in Ang […]
Earlier I have shared a Sambal Kangkong Recipe that is a tze char favourite for many. Today, I’m using kangkong again to recreate the hawker dish, Cuttlefish Kangkong or what’s better known as Jiu Her Eng Chye in local dialect. This is a really simple recipe that is almost like a salad that requires minimal […]
“ 吃太多kangkong会脚软！” ” Eating too much kangkong will make your legs go weak. “ And that was what I grew up believing in because the older folks kept saying that. But in actual fact, kangkong is a vegetable that is rich in iron, calcium and vitamins B & C and it’s not scientifically or medically […]
After having a salad buffet at Javier’s Rotisserie & Salad Bar which was like my first in a considerable lapse of time since the Ponderosa and Sizzler days, it had certainly fuelled my passion for salad buffets again like the good old times. It just makes me feel good (yeah, psychologically haha) that I’m consuming […]
Whenever I visited Bangkok, I would head to the streets to look for moo ping (grilled pork on skewers) which is a popular Thai street food eaten with sticky rice. It’s a little similar to our local satay except that the meat marinade is different and there is no peanut sauce for dipping. I was […]
Being in this part of the world where we get an all-year-round supply of beautiful tropical fruits – we are just spoilt for choice. It is so easy to make a fruit salad anytime we want but I prefer to do something different. A cross between a fruit salad and a savoury salad that has […]
Update: This cafe has ceased operation. After a leisurely walk at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park, the husband and I chanced upon Cafe Mojito that was located just across the road so in we went to grab some tea time refreshments. They had a small selection of cakes and pastries on display… …as well as some […]
Previously I always tried to avoid the okra or what’s better known here in Singapore as ladies’ fingers. They have this gooey slime that just doesn’t appeal to me. And it’s only recently that I’ve sort of developed a liking for these pod vegetables. Having survived an episode of illness/surgery probably does change a person’s […]
