Besides creamy white sauce pasta, aglio olio (‘garlic & oil’) is another of my favourite. I love the garlic-infused olive oil that’s so fragrant yet I don’t find it greasy at all. Adding a little knob of butter will give that extra kick when you dig into this spaghetti. So easy to prep, so easy […]
After learning of this DoDo’s new product through its launch campaign a while back, I bought a can from the supermarket out of curiosity just to find out how DoDo fischeon would taste like as compared to luncheon meat. ‘Fischeon’ simply means ‘Fish Luncheon’. It is available in 3 flavours: Original, Cheese and Black Pepper […]
A new kid on the block in our local fast food scene, Yellow Submarines has been serving up cheesesteak, subs and burgers in the heartland since its first and only outlet opened in Toa Payoh Central last April. It is hard to miss this eye-catching restaurant in cheery yellow colour located in a conspicuous corner where […]
I flipped through a cooking magazine at the library a while ago and saw an interesting recipe of scrambled tofu with pistachios & cranberries so I thought of coming up with my own version with figs, cashews, chickpeas and raisins.

Whenever I’m at Tiong Bahru market for breakfast or brunch, I’d always try to end my meal with a bowl of tau suan (mung bean with sliced dough fritters) or pulut hitam (black glutinous rice porridge with coconut milk) from here. What I really like about these local desserts from this stall is that they […]
One thing I like about having steamboat for CNY reunion dinner is that the unfinished ingredients can always be chilled again for later use so nothing goes to waste. And instead of having a second steamboat the next day, we can turn the leftovers to fresh new dishes again like this steamed prawns recipe. Steamed […]
I bought a slab of shark fillet from the supermarket without any idea on how to cook it. In fact, I had only eaten shark a few times and didn’t have much of a good impression of it but I couldn’t resist buying it as it looked fresh and meaty and it wasn’t expensive too. […]
I’ve never been that crazy over cakes previously but now they are like my ultimate comfort food. When I’m feeling blue, all I need is just a lovely slice of cake and that’d be enough to turn my day around. Like what the husband said to me, I am so easily satisfied. Four Leaves bakery […]
