Normally, when we hear the word ‘pancake’, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the round, thin & fluffy cake that we eat with syrup and/or butter like the hotcakes from Mac N Dees.

This recipe is like a westernised tomato-based version of an Asian chicken curry. It doesn’t smell as pungent or aromatic as an Indian curry but you get this sweetness from the tomatoes & onions and a little spicy kick from the red chilli. For best results, do use coconut milk or cream just like you would in […]

I was on my way to the spa some weeks back when I spotted Lady M at Orchard Central and just had to come back for a pampering pre-dinner treat. If you have a sweet tooth, you’re probably already very familiar with the brand. Hailing from New York, Lady M is often known as the […]
Burgers aren’t always bad and high in calories, especially not when you make your own. I used to eat a lot of fast food before I started cooking (once or twice every weekend – yeah I know, my diet was just so sinfully unhealthy!) and that was why my waistline kept expanding. Now that I’ve […]
