I’m getting more and more sentimental recently. I wonder if this is all part of aging as I approach my mid-30s. Nostalgic stuffs really draw my attention these days, so does this quaint looking coffee shop with its traditional signboard. I was at Kandahar Street as I wanted to buy some swiss rolls from the […]

I should really name these Hawaiian muffins, just like the Hawaiian pizza that we are all so familiar with. For a change, I’m finally making savoury muffins instead of sweet ones. And with the ingredients of cheese, ham and pineapples, this just resembles a pizza in a muffin. I made so many of them, I had […]

There was a time at my old workplace when a Thai client came to Singapore for a site inspection of a conference venue. I was amused when she brought along with her several tupperware containers because she wanted to pack Boon Tong Kee Chicken Rice home for her family for dinner that evening. And she […]

Granny used to make steamed egg for me when I was little and it was just a plain version without any meat. Always a joy to share the hot & comforting steamed egg with her as we ate it with white rice. For my version, I added some minced pork to bulk the dish up. […]

The husband and I were scouting around Upper Thomson Road for dinner options when we came across this Chinese steamboat place at a corner. What beats having hot, piping steamboat to warm our tummies on a cool, rainy day! Besides, the husband had not tried such Chinese style steamboat before as I had only brought […]

Update: For Galicier’s 2014 CNY price list, please click here I have blogged about the nonya kuehs from Galicier last month (read my earlier post here) and I just couldn’t resist going back again. Pineapple tarts are one of the most popular Chinese New Year goodies here in Singapore and I must say they are […]

I enjoy making meat patties, be it chicken or pork, as the options of accompaniments are vast but some popular ones would of course include water chestnuts, french beans, long beans, carrots, corn, lotus root, celery, rhubarb and other similar vegetables that could give the patties a good crunch. For this Corn & Chicken Patties Recipe, […]

It’s a donut frenzy! In order to come up with a moist, cake-like texture baked doughnut, I made 3 batches before I nailed it right. And the final batch of donuts turned out so good that the first 2 batches are now neglected 🙁 But it’s not a bad thing after all. Cooking and baking […]

Penang Delights was voted as one of the top prawn noodle stalls in Singapore by Channel U viewers. Indeed, it is also one of my two favourite places to go to for a tasty bowl of prawn noodles besides Whitley Road Big Prawn Mee. This stall is located at the S11 Food Court (in front of […]

I love cooking different types of porridge by experimenting with various ingredients. Broccoli and cauliflower are great vegetable choices as they don’t turn mushy easily. Just add some chicken breast or minced chicken, this would be a low-fat, low cholesterol, nutritious porridge meal fit for the whole family. Healthy Brown Rice Porridge with Broccoli & […]

My husband used to hate garlic. He said he never liked it even when he was back home in England and whenever he saw garlic in any dish, he’d rather waste time in picking out the garlic bits then eat them. But he’s a changed man now. Because I exposed him to the garlic culture […]

I normally don’t eat breakfast but when I do, I eat like a king. And I can never resist a full English breakfast because I love variety. I love eating different things, enjoy different flavours, appreciate different textures all in one meal. For this breakfast, my husband joined me in the kitchen to prepare sauteed […]

…is Steamboat! I’m sure many of you would agree with me 🙂 It’s the end-of-year rainy season now and I just crave for hot, piping steamboat. I just happened to see this Aerogaz induction cooker (with pot) deal at NTUC Fairprice atrium fair at AMK Hub. It only cost $33.90 for the whole set. Anyway, […]

During my Tiong Bahru estate roaming tour, I came across this lovely bakery just opposite the Tiong Bahru Market after whiffing a slight aroma of chinese herbs as I was walking past it. I then realised that this must be the (first) bakery in Singapore that specialises in various healthy breads that are made of […]

I was craving for nonya kuehs and lor mee so I went gallivanting in Tiong Bahru for some good eats. Headed to Tiong Bahru Market for lunch and had queued up at Tiong Bahru Lor Mee Stall (#02-80) for at least 10 minutes but was told their Lor Mee had sold out by the time […]
