I’m a weird foodie sometimes. While I like to explore new eating places and experience new foods, I also have the tendency to revisit a restaurant several times within a short period of time just because I really like it. It happened to me again recently after I visited Sushi Express at Citylink Mall for the 3rd […]

If the husband and I are out having Japanese food, cold soba (buckwheat) noodle is one item we’d not miss out on. Even at home, I like to substitute other noodles with soba whenever possible as it’s really a healthier alternative that helps with weight management as it contains less calories than the standard spaghetti and […]

The husband and I accomplished another ‘hike’ over the weekend but this time, we weren’t on any designated walking trail amidst lush greenery or nature. We actually explored Geylang Road -> Joo Chiat Road -> East Coast Road on foot and probably covered 5km in distance within 1.5 hours which was quite a decent workout. […]

Eggs Benedict has got to be one of my top favourite brunch items. Think light & fluffy sourdough English muffins, crispy bacon, poached eggs with runny yolks and a generous drizzle of Hollandaise sauce all on one plate. What could be better than this? I swooned over the Eggs Benny from Spruce @ Phoenix Park which I thought […]

I came across this durian stall a long while back when I was in the vicinity for supper but I didn’t try their durians until recently when my craving hit. This huge, brightly lit stall with a prized collection of different varieties of durians all neatly arranged on metal shelves is located opposite the 24-hour Ho Kee […]

I’m really not sure how I’ve grown to love brinjal or egg plant this much in recent years when it used to be something I hated and just refused to eat (like lady’s fingers or okra which I still dislike!). I think my palates changed when I started having brinjal from Hup Chong Hakka Yong Dou […]

If you ask me where we can find the best char siew in Singapore, I think it definitely has got to be Fatty Cheong which is famous for its Bu Jian Tian (不见天 – means ‘never see the sky’) char siew that is a cut from the pig’s armpit area. Besides that, it also serves […]

My mum recently gave me a huge packet of dried shiitake mushrooms which I had enjoyed cooking with as they were so plump and juicy. I steamed a fish with them in Teochew-style, stir-fried them with vegetables and even braised them to make minced meat noodles. Definitely tasted so much better than the usual chinese mushrooms […]
