Ever since my health started going downhill, my husband had been my greatest pillar of strength. I woke up this morning and took a moment to count my blessings. I might not have 100% good health but I’m lucky and blessed to have a kind, caring and patient husband who is always there when I […]

I thought by preparing for the worst in my health situation, it would probably lessen the impact should any bad news come my way. I had really tried looking at the brighter side of things and wished that the big lump on my neck was probably just an infection of the thyroid gland and that […]

Lately I’ve been getting a lot of quirky cooking ideas popping into my head every now and then. Perhaps it’s because I’m exposed to so many different cuisines all the time that when I’m doing meal planning, I would tend to add a little bit of this and a little bit of that into my […]

Those who have tried my Rice Cooker Chicken Claypot Rice Recipe might find the taste of this dish somewhat familiar because that was where I extracted the idea of doing this steamed chicken by using a similar seasoning sauce – one that’s rich, salty, savoury and sweet with a touch of zing from fresh ginger […]

Whenever I come up with a fusion invention dish, I’d always think twice if I should be sharing the recipe because my combination of flavours can be quite odd sometimes. Perhaps because I have adventurous taste buds, so almost anything works for me but I think that’s just the fun part of experimental cooking cos’ […]

I had reviewed Pho Street @ Westgate more than a year ago and I still remembered how much I had enjoyed that pho soup broth. This time round, I was invited to a media tasting at their second outlet in Bedok Mall because they had a new Vietnamese chef aboard who had rolled out a […]

It’s once again the time of the year to prowl through the festive bazaars at Geylang Serai to sniff out some interesting new eats. Last year, I had swooned over the pide (leaf-shaped Turkish flat bread pizza) and sotong panggang (grilled squid). This time round, I was quite excited to see so many newcomers in the […]

I’m crazy about homemade burgers recently. Maybe because I haven’t had fast food for a long time (more than a year?) when I used to eat at McDonald’s 1-2 times per week (my diet and lifestyle were so unhealthy then). Every now and then, I would still get that craving for junk food and in […]

When the husband was holidaying in Thailand some years back, he joined a Thai cooking class and learned how to make an authentic tom yum soup. With tips that he provided me with, I tried making my first tom yum soup for a recent family get-together meal and was really glad the folks enjoyed the […]

The husband and I were doing some shopping at Wisma Atria when suddenly he just recalled this Instagram picture that I showed him the other day – it was a post from a fellow blogger who was recommending this new Japanese stall at Wisma Atria’s Food Republic that served up a humongous portion of curry […]

Update: Javier’s Rotisserie & Salad Bar had ceased operation w.e.f. 10 January 2016.  If you had been a fan of Ponderosa and/or Sizzler in the good old days, you probably would have known about Javier’s Rotisserie & Salad Bar for its similar salad buffet. Javier’s is actually named after the son of Aston Soon, the […]

Oven baked salmon served with steamed vegetables is such a classic home-made dish because we know oil-rich salmon is good for us and such meals are just so easy and quick to prep. However it really can get boring over time so I like to play around with different sauces that I can glaze my […]

One of hubby’s colleagues recently introduced us to Garden Picks which is a snack supplier that sells dried fruits, seeds, nuts and crisps. There is free delivery with purchase of S$50 & above so he combined purchase with the rest of the peeps in the office and ordered these two packs of crisps. The Honey […]

I skipped gym for a few days last week while recovering from a cold and had so many leftover bananas cos’ I would normally have them with oats for breakfast on gym days. Kept them in the fridge and almost forgot all about them until I was at Phoon Huat earlier where I bought this […]

I don’t know about you guys but I love potato skin because it has so much goodness in it. Even when I have to mash potatoes, I will still keep the skin on and that’s exactly what I have done for this fish cake recipe too. For those who haven’t had a Western style fish […]
