Originating from Hakata, Kyushu, Japan, Yoshimaru Ramen Bar in Singapore is a franchise business managed by the Jumbo Group. The restaurant serves up the famous classic Hakata style Tonkotsu Ramen that is authentically made in the same way as the Japanese does. After the husband had successfully conquered the Yoshimaru Ramen Challenge on Sunday (read about […]
The night before the challenge… Me: Are you sure you want to do this? Husband: LP, I can do it! Me: But it will be too hot for you! Husband: (very confidently) I can do it! I can finish it in 5 minutes! So on Sunday, we headed down to Yoshimaru Ramen Bar at Holland […]
Woohoo! I’m thrilled that Shape Magazine had featured my Cajun Spiced Salmon recipe (page 95) in their latest 10th Anniversary issue. Alternatively, check out my original recipe post here. Research shows that consuming salmon at least twice a week will lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases, prevent depression (benefits the brain!) and delay brain ageing. Truly […]
Found this easy stir-fry recipe which makes a good one-dish meal for dinner. Minimal work but very robust flavours. As dried black beans are generally salty, there isn’t a need to season the dish with more salt so just go easy with the light soy sauce in the chicken marinate. Chicken & Peppers with Black Bean […]
It had been a good 5 years since the husband and I visited the Singapore Botanic Gardens. It just felt invigorating to take a walk through nature that is quite untouched, as opposed to the Gardens by the Bay which is more man-made and commercialised (not that we dislike it but both gardens are way different and impressive in their own individual style). […]
I visited Duke Bakery for the first time last month when the husband and I dropped by the Novena area for lunch. As always, I have a soft spot for artisanal breads and even though I know I shouldn’t be consuming so much carbs while trying to lose weight, I just couldn’t resist them. There’s something so […]
Economical fried bee hoon (or rice vermicelli) is undoubtedly one of the cheapest hawker meals (besides light bites like popiah or curry puff) we can find in Singapore. A plate of bee hoon with some sauteed cabbage and a sunny side up from a coffeeshop in my neighbourhood merely costs $1.80. And its portion is more […]
I’m sure everyone of us residing in Singapore has a favourite prata place to go to and Casuarina Curry is one that I have been frequenting since the 90s when my mum stumbled upon the restaurant on her way to Thomson Plaza and fell in love with its plain pratas and curries. There’s nothing extraordinary […]
I’m a big fan of MasterChef Australia and I never failed to watch the various seasons when they were aired on the Lifetime channel. All the dishes that were whipped up by the contestants in the show often inspired me to create something similar at home but with my own personal twist so it’s not just […]
