Thank you to the kind folks at Citrus By The Pool for having me again. Great atmosphere, awesome food as always. Truly a gem in the hood. ?? Yep, peeps, I was back at Citrus By The Pool some time ago to try out the new dishes they had launched. And here’s my long-awaited review, […]
Fried porridge (炒粥) is like the porridge version of a fried rice where you literally fry porridge with an assortment of ingredients and seasonings. It’s a Malaysian dish that originated from Penang. While I didn’t get the chance to try fried porridge in my recent trip to Penang, I had heard good feedback from a […]
We were seated right in front of 知者来 (or Zhi Zhe Lai) as we were having breakfast at the Toa Payoh West Market & Food Centre. This stall is located a few units away from Teochew Handmade Pau so if you’re seated in the same section, you shouldn’t miss this. Saw many customers leaving with […]
Whenever GM visited me previously, she would always bring along a box of at least a dozen of these cute-looking mini pau (steamed buns) from Teochew Handmade Pau. That’s the good thing about living in Toa Payoh because it’s a foodie-paradise neighbourhood with many famous foods around, both old-fashioned and hipster ones. ? The reason […]

It successfully kicked off the tempura donburi trend here that got many people excited over rice bowls that were overfilling with tempura. And of course, it was just a matter of time before many other […]
The balık (fish) ekmek (bread) is a popular street food snack from Turkey. It consists of a fried or grilled mackerel fillet and assorted vegetables stuffed in a baguette. Very simple street food item, nothing fanciful. You can easily find this Turkish mackerel sandwich near the Galata Bridge (along the waterfront of Karaköy and Eminönü) […]
I broke my last walking record, woohoo! Actually I still couldn’t believe that I managed to do so because it was my first attempt doing a long-distance walk of more than 20km. By the end of the walk, I actually lost a toe nail (ouch) and had plenty of blisters on the rest of my […]
Aloha folks! K is coming over for tea so it’s time for a new bake creation, woohoo! I’m inviting summer into my home (even though it’s summer all year round in Singapore anyway, haha!) because I’m going to make Tropical Muffins. With lovely tropical fruits like banana, pineapple, passionfruit and mango. Really reminds us of summer […]
