Has anyone of you ever cooked a dish because it reminded you of your childhood or a very important person in your life? When I was in primary school, I was very fond of eating the fried chicken wings from the Malay stall at the school canteen because they had this hint of curry flavour […]
“Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la, la la la la. China lychees are here finally, Fa la la la la, la la la la.” Ok I’m not celebrating any festive season, lol but I’m just thrilled that my favourite fruit is in season again. Lychee is such a wonderful tropical fruit […]
While I love a good bratwurst in my English breakfast platter, I equally enjoy it in a pasta dish like this. You’d notice that I didn’t use any additional salt or seasoning in my recipe. The key is in Step 2 when pan-frying the sausage cos’ this is when oil and fat can be rendered […]
I collected my blood test results on Saturday and it’s both good and bad news. Good news is, my thyroid function is perfectly fine. Bad news is, as I do not have a thyroid disorder, it just means the lump on my neck is an unknown growth. Whether it’s benign or malignant, I’ll only know […]
Sundays are usually my no-cook days and sometimes we would just buy a ready-made rotisserie chicken from the supermarket. While such rotisserie chickens are generally inexpensive, tasty (might contain MSG too) with meat that just fall off the bones easily, I do find them rather greasy and at times, salty too. I had recently stocked […]
Baked potato. Mashed potato. Corn on the cob. French fries. Onion rings. Salad greens. Coleslaw. Pasta salad. Steamed vegetables. Mashed cauliflower. Blah blah blah. I’m running out of ideas to create sides for my mains. So when the husband asked me if cannellini beans could be roasted in the oven, I thought it was just […]
One reason why I love Japanese food is because of its multifaceted nature. Think sushi, sashimi, donburi, ramen, shabu shabu, teppanyaki – and the list goes on. I think I can live very well in Japan should I move there one day, lol. Yakitori (or chicken grilled on skewer) is something that I snack on […]
– Media Tasting – Thai food lovers may now rejoice as you can savour some of Bangkok’s famed grilled street food in Singapore without having to buy an air ticket 😉 Nara Thai, voted as one of Thailand’s best restaurants since 2007, has recently rolled out a new menu with the addition of 15 street […]
Been to the doc today because of a big lump that appeared on the front left of my neck. Suspected thyroid disorder but got to wait for blood test result next week to determine the severity of the problem. Praying that it’s only a normal thyroid problem that can be controlled with medication and not […]
“Overnight food is bad for health.” The folks used to say this all the time. Perhaps it’s true to some extent as I’ve read before that certain food like leafy vegetables and seafood can be toxic if left till the next day. On the other hand, I think soups, stews and curries that are kept […]
One of my recent food inventions was this Chicken Tofu Burger topped with crunchy, sweet & sour cabbage kimchi. Had been making a lot of burgers recently cos’ the husband and I got hooked onto this Korean drama (Jang Bo-ri is Here!) on Channel U hence we would eat our dinner in front of the […]
This was a really quick brunch fix cos’ it was one of those make-ahead meals that I’d prepare the night before and all I would do the next day was just to toss the ingredients with the dressing. Nothing too fanciful as I just wanted to keep the flavours simple and I chose to use […]
To avid foodies like us, the most exciting part of a cruise had got to be the FOOD. That is why I need a whole blog post for it, haha. Anyway, if you haven’t read Part 1 of my cruise review, here’s the link to it -> Sapphire Princess Cruise Review (Part 1 of 3) – […]
Oven baked. Greaseless. Fat free. No salt. That’s how I prefer my sweet potato chips to be so the only flavouring factor depends on the sweet potato’s own natural sweetness. I picked Vietnamese yellow sweet potatoes but you can of course use the orange/purple variety or a mix of both. If going plain isn’t your […]

Time to spice things up in the kitchen with this uber-shiok Spicy Yogurt Chicken Recipe! 😉 I drew inspiration from a spicy pasta dish I made the night before and the husband was telling me to buy more of those dried hot chilli flakes that would make our tongues tingle. So while I was looking […]
