Sodas make excellent braising and stewing sauces for meats especially coke which I like to cook with chicken wings. I happened to have a few cans of ginger ale at home and thought I’d try using it to stew some eye round beef that I bought from the supermarket the other day. Stewed Beef in […]
One thing that I like about Ajisen Gourmet Town @ NEX is that it houses two of its restaurant brands Ajisen Ramen from Kyushu, Botejyu from Osaka as well as one of its own self-developed brands, Aji-Tei (means ‘a restaurant of tastes’) under one roof so customers can get to savour different types of Japanese […]
Tau Cheo (Fermented Soy Beans) Pork Ribs is another of Gran’s signature dishes so every time I make this, it really evokes memories of the good old days. I tweaked my recipe several times as I wanted to achieve that same balance of flavours in Gran’s version. Not exactly like hers yet but close enough […]
Before this bar’s existence in 2010, ‘KPO’ to most people probably referred to the Killiney Post Office that is located next to this bar today within the same building.

In my previous post on Paris Baguette, I had mentioned that the cafe offers salads, sandwiches and pad thais to go besides pastries. So when I was at Wisma Atria earlier, I couldn’t resist packing the pad thai home for dinner. The green paper label on top was actually meant for the sandwiches but they […]
Sometimes when I feel I have overeaten rich foods and need a detox to make that tummy feel a little less queasy, a healthy vegetable soup is all I need. And such a recipe is so flexible that you can use any cruciferous vegetables that you like such as broccoli or cabbage. I combined cauliflower […]
Update June 2017: This hi-tea buffet is only available on weekends now. Scroll to the bottom for the revised opening hours. One of the perks of not having to work on a weekday is to be able to enjoy a peaceful afternoon high tea, away from the bustling weekend crowd. I had been to Lao […]
