Sep 2017 update: For my latest review on Citrus By The Pool, check out this post and see what’s new on the menu. I come to Woodlands quite often but have never ventured beyond Causeway Point and Woodlands Civic Centre. Even when looking out for food options, I tend to only confine my search within […]

I came by The Grassroots’ Club a few weeks back when I had a lunch appointment at Imperial Court and happened to stumble upon the newly opened Muslim Delights Wedding Venue & Restaurant located on the ground floor and right at the back of the clubhouse. Muslim Delights actually started out as a stall selling […]

Roti Jala (or lacy/net pancake) is a popular Malaysian snack that is usually served with chicken or mutton curry. The ones that we get from outside are yellowish in colour (with added ground turmeric) and may also contain coconut milk for that extra aroma. For my healthy version of roti jala, I substituted the coconut […]

Happy Halloween! ??? ??? Though we don’t celebrate Halloween in Singapore, I like to do it my way by hiding underneath the bed covers and getting myself spooked ? with a horror movie marathon, woo! How are you celebrating Halloween at your side of the world? 🙂 The husband bought a Groupon deal (yes, again!) […]

While I always try to eat the daily recommended servings of vegetables, I seem to easily forget all about fruits. One good way to rectify this is to incorporate fruits into the food I cook. I haven’t really come across many dishes during outside dining that make good use of fruits except in sides like […]

I love anything with yam so when I heard that Double Scoops in Ang Mo Kio serves up Orh Nee (‘yam paste’) ice cream, I just had to come by for a little treat. And I had this little fellow as company cos’ we were just next to each other by the wall. How cute, […]

Laksa is a spicy noodle soup with a curry-like gravy that’s very popular in Malaysia and Singapore. Foodies here will probably know how ‘unhealthy’ laksa can be because of the use of coconut milk to give it that rich and creamy flavour and not forgetting that layer of reddish-looking oil that’s always floating on the […]

This place was formerly known as Two Face Pizza & Taproom but it closed last December after two years in business. Now, Day and Night runs on the same concept – it is a regular coffee shop that houses Ah Bong’s Italian and also serves up local favourites like yong tau foo by day; it then […]

During the period when I was recuperating after surgery, the husband took care of most of my meals. When I could finally chew on something hard (goodbye porridges and congees!), he whipped up a steak meal for me as a well deserved treat. His ‘anyhow-make’ recipe turned out to be pretty satisfying 🙂 Weeks later, […]

The husband was yearning for a burger – an unhealthy one that would make us feel guilty after eating but at the same time, die without regrets, haha. And so we made our way to Upper Thomson Road for Fatboy’s, one of the most popular burger joints in Singapore, for what we always looked forward […]

My maternal grandmother makes a fabulous dry chicken curry that doesn’t require coconut milk which in turn makes it healthier too. For my version of ‘dry curry’, I decided to use pork ribs instead of chicken and packed a whole bunch of spices into the paste that really made the dish so flavoursome and moreish. […]

It has been almost 5 years since my last visit to Shin Minori (click on the link to read my past review). When I saw that it was a participating merchant on The Entertainer App, I just had to ask J to join me for a 1-for-1 lunch buffet (U.P. S$34++ per pax) that worked out […]

It’s Veggie Friday! And that’s why I am posting my 2nd vegetable recipe of the day 🙂 Are you into eggplant (brinjal/aubergine) dishes too? Check out my healthy Steamed Eggplant Recipe that I had just published earlier today. In the past, I would stir fry mushrooms with either broccoli, cauliflower or kai-lan (Chinese broccoli) but since […]

Since I had my thyroid surgery, my doctor had strongly discouraged me from eating cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower because he said these were the vegetables that could promote ‘growth’ and because I still have a few small cysts on my right thyroid that’s still intact, I’m at risk for future complication should any of the […]

Like many foodies out there, the husband and I sometimes face what’s commonly known as a ‘first world problem’ because we always don’t know what to eat even though there is a huge hawker centre in our neighbourhood and several coffee shops too. To me, I guess it’s a happy problem because it spurs me on […]
