I would only snack on dried cranberries once in a while as the ones we could get here often contain added sugar. So when I saw fresh cranberries being sold at the supermarket for the first time, I decided to buy one pack to try only to discover how horribly sour they were – totally […]

Some months back, I attended a cooking workshop conducted by Chef Ronald Li, head chef of Salt Tapas & Bar where I got the chance to see him whip up some delicious brunch comfort food. This time, I was back for a tasting session following the launch of their new brunch menu. Located at Raffles […]

Those we love don’t go away they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, so loved, so missed so very dear. Picking myself up after losing two loved ones within a few weeks is probably one of the hardest things to do in life. And it feels almost impossible when one of […]

Some weeks back, I reviewed Seasonal Salad Bar that used to occupy this same unit space above KFC at Toa Payoh Central. After it shifted to a new location next to Courts, then came Krazy Salads which is like the 4th salad bar tenant of the same premise since Sizzler. The husband and I walked […]

I got the idea to make this soup after seeing a soup pack being sold in the supermarket for the same recipe so I sort of estimated the amount of ingredients needed for it and bought them separately for this. I was curious as to why this particular soup was considered a lung nourishing one […]

This is probably the most unconventionaI but also easiest method to whip up a quick and healthy vegetable curry by using tomatoes as the base. I made a herbed quinoa (just mix cooked quinoa with chopped coriander and spring onions with a squeeze of lemon juice) to go with the vegetable curry and also oven-grilled […]

My homemade version of a healthy ‘steak frites’ comes without the fries, lol. I made a creamy and thick roasted garlic peppercorn sauce to go with the beef just like how it would be like having the same in a restaurant that’s usually served with a flavoursome sauce too. Instead of having any carbs, I […]

I came up with this dish after getting some cooking inspiration from a home-cooked meal at a friend’s house some weeks back. She had cooked this stuffed cucumber soup in which minced pork and prawns were used for the stuffing but for my version, I opted for minced chicken, glass noodles and Chinese mushrooms. Instead […]

I’ve long heard about the cafes at Bukit Merah Central that have garnered raving reviews on social media but it’s a part of Singapore that I don’t really come to often because it’s quite out of the way for me. When I was at IKEA Alexandra the other day, I thought I’d just swing by the […]

A couple of days ago, I shared a Stir Fried Prawns with XO Sauce Recipe on which I also introduced and reviewed the brand new Seafood XO Sauce from Lee Kum Kee. In the same CNY gift pack I received, there was also this Sauce for Honey Garlic Spare Ribs which I thought would be […]

I used to think this stall space in my neighbourhood coffeeshop was jinxed probably due to bad fengshui or something because all the previous stalls (lost count of how many) did not last more than a few months each. Until a few months back when West Grill Station opened that I realised how much life […]

Normally, I would bake stuffed peppers in the oven with a layer of cheese on top just like this simple recipe with minced beef, onions and cherry tomatoes. This time round, I decided to make a one dish meal out of red peppers and hence used a mix of brown and red rice to bulk […]

XO sauce is a spicy salty seafood sauce commonly used in Cantonese cuisine and is also a popular choice of condiment to go with dim sum. Some of the best XO sauces I ever had were from Super Star Seafood Restaurant 鴻星海鮮酒家 in Hong Kong and Rabbit Brand Seafood Delicacies at Circular Road, Singapore. XO […]

Since my last visit to The Grand Gem Indian Restaurant @ Grand Bluewave Hotel in Johor Bahru, I really missed a good Indian buffet with robust-tasting dishes and lots of gravies and spices. One of my foodie friends recommended Riverwalk Tandoor which I had passed by countless times but never did I go in once […]

♥♥♥ Happy Valentine’s Day! ♥♥♥ Since my valentine is currently back home in England, I shall spend the day romancing myself and enjoy some quality ‘me’ time. What’s better than cooking up a Sunday brunch to start off my day? 🙂 I basically pulled out whatever ‘interesting’ ingredients I had from the fridge and pantry […]
