Tendon Ginza Itsuki on Tanjong Pagar Road was the first Japanese tendon restaurant to open in Singapore two years ago. 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 […]
“Say cheese!” That was exactly what the LiHo staff said to me when she handed me my cup of cheese tea at their Ang Mo Kio outlet. And you know what? It did bring a smile to my face. ? Most of you in Singapore would have already known by now that the popular bubble […]
One thing that I love about my kitchen is my pantry cupboard that is filled with all kinds of groceries, spices and seasonings. I was greatly inspired after watching English TV chef Nigella Lawson on one of her cooking programmes. Her pantry (like a little room or closet) was always so well stocked up that […]
I’ve switched from Asian cuisine to Western food recently since coming back from my holiday. Probably because I’ve eaten way too much of these noodles and rice dishes in my last trip that my usual cravings for them are gone, haha. Well I’m sure that’s just temporary. ? Trying to get back on track with […]
Got a special delivery from Mizkan Japan. Really loved the beautiful and neat wrapping outside. Even the packaging materials inside the box had a mix of confetti and styrofoam beads which made unboxing a rather Christmasy affair, lol. I must say, Japanese product packaging is always impressive. It really reflects how thoughtful the Japanese people […]
I’m missing my favourite BBQ chicken wings from Chomp Chomp Food Centre. Haven’t been there for a long while now. Wanted to bring Uncle A (J’s uncle from Canada) to Chomp Chomp when he visited Singapore earlier but the itinerary we planned for him became so action-packed that we couldn’t squeeze in the time to […]
