Since my last visit to Monster Curry (read my earlier blog post here), the husband and I decided to give the Monster Combo Curry Set a try again but this time at a higher spice level of Super Hot. And our verdict? It is still not hot enough! I really don’t think the next and highest […]

Black carrot cake is one of my favourite weekend breakfast foods because I just love the generous amount of eggs in them that’s coated with sweet black sauce. When I saw ready made carrot cake at NTUC Fairprice, I just thought of making black carrot cake at home as a quick snack which is really […]

Update: Restaurant is now closed. Sawadee Ka! Thai cuisine has always been my all time favourite food because I love the flavours of sweet, sour and spicy that are always so well balanced in all of its dishes. And I like that seafood such as prawns and squids are also commonly used in Thai cuisine […]

The husband said he would like to have watercress soup for dinner and I cringed because it was a soup that I disliked since I was little. Even when Gran used to make it a lot at home last time because it is supposedly nutritious and cooling for the body, I would only eat the […]

Since I bought a packet of garam masala ages ago just to make a tofu scramble, it has been sitting in my pantry cupboard for the longest time ever so while I was searching for recipes to make good use of the aromatic spice, I came across this recipe for chicken tikka which according to […]

Entering this casual Korean restaurant makes me feel I’m at a friend’s house with a very homely and cosy atmosphere which was really the first thing that caught my eye as the husband and I was roaming around for a lunch option. I’m sure that’s a Korean chef in the kitchen. Everything in here from […]

I’m a big fan of western style soups especially the creamy, thick ones with lots of different textures in them from the various ingredients used. Whenever I drop by any of my favourite bakery (Sun Moulin @ Isetan Scotts is one), I’d definitely grab a baguette and then go home to whip up a warm […]

I have known Ubi as an industrial estate for the longest time ever but when I got wind that it is also a roaster heaven with a good number of roast meat factories and suppliers around, I decided to venture into this godforsaken place and embark on my hunt for cheap and good roast duck […]

I made wanton noodles earlier and had these extra egg noodles left in the fridge so I turned them into a fried egg noodles dish that’s both delightful and easy to make. You can just about use any ingredients or leftovers in your fridge, be it chicken breast, ham, luncheon meat, broccoli, chinese mushrooms, etc. […]

This dish is what I call the best of both worlds because the husband loves his roast pork and I love my yam. And we both adore that salty and savoury braising sauce that goes so well with steamed rice. It’d probably taste better if the yam was deep fried but I really preferred not […]

Everything with Fries (EwF) is probably one of my few preferred fast food outlets (besides Mackey-D’s) as it serves up some really decent burgers and fries. Plus its outlet at Orchard Central is quite a nice place to chill out in with friends. Every piece of the skinny wing is half a mid-joint section of a […]

I was at Sheng Siong the other day and saw a lovely carton of pearl beans on sale. Just couldn’t resist grabbing one bunch of the beans. I was planning to make lotus root peanut soup but decided to replace the peanuts with these pearl beans instead. My mum had made pearl bean soup a […]

There used to be a really popular minced meat noodles stall (Joo Heng Bak Chor Mee) at the hawker centre near my home but ever since the boss decided to retire a couple of months ago, there really wasn’t a good enough substitute in the vicinity that could be on par with it. This also […]

I share a special relationship with Yum Cha Restaurant as it’s a place where I had experienced a few first times. The first dim sum buffet I had with the husband. The first meal my husband had with my parents. The first pre-wedding meal between my in-laws and my parents. Time flies but the nostalgic […]

The husband and I often come to this coffeeshop where Astons Express is located and every time we are here dining, we would see people ordering various delectable vegetarian dishes from this particular stall. The frying aroma of their carrot cake and oyster omelette in the air was so tempting too hence we decided to […]
