For my husband’s birthday, I decided to bake him a red velvet cake which is considered my first attempt at professional cake decorating. It is also the first patisserie-standard choice of cake I ever considered making. It is a big risk because I’m no expert in baking so anything could go wrong. Normally I only […]
Located just a stone’s throw away from the ever popular Tiong Bahru market, this artisan bakery is not to be missed. I first heard of its name when I read about it in the Sunday Times and on a couple of food blogs too and I just had to ask the husband to grab some of […]
Left with a couple of soon-to-expire large eggs and not wanting them to go to waste, I decided I’d do a cake this time which I’m sure my husband would fancy (he loves cakes to bits!). Just a little treat for him since he’s working from home. Inspired by the popular British dessert, Queen of […]
I took the chance to do some baking during those hazy days last week since there wasn’t much I could do with such bad air. And my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed these muffins for tea that really cheered us up. Doughnut Muffin Recipe Ingredients 140g unsalted butter, melted 120g golden caster sugar 200g plain […]
I used to think of Chinese traditional desserts as plain sugary soups with (possibly) miserable portions of ingredients (I’m not kidding – have you ever tried red bean or green bean soup that’s full of water but so little beans?) until I chanced upon Dessert Hut in Chinatown one day while out shopping with my […]
One of my favourite places for fish head curry in Singapore will have to be The Banana Leaf Apolo at Race Course Road. This was recommended by my college mate almost a decade ago when we then brought one of our American lecturers here for dinner and since then I have fallen in love with […]
My husband and I headed to Sembawang Shopping Centre for some late night shopping and was scouting the area for a supper fix when we came across D’Rubinah at this corner coffeeshop along a row of shophouses on Sembawang Road. It looked pretty busy and the fragrance of prata and briyani in the air was super […]
A day of exploring the new phase of the Circle Line brought us to Holland Village where we practically pranced up and down and everywhere because we were just unable to decide on a good place to settle down for a quiet and cosy dinner. After probably walking past Al-Hamra for the third time, we […]
Seafood! What?! Kiseki again??? Yes, it’s my second time to Kiseki within a span of one week! Never ever done such a thing before :p but the parents were too captivated by the earlier Kiseki pictures so I just had to bring them here this time which wasn’t a bad thing too as I could […]
The hunt for good affordable Japanese buffets continues. Since my past expeditions to Shin Minori and Kuishin Bo, which failed to tickle my fussy palates, I’m now here to conquer Kiseki which I heard is very popular among students and families. In fact, I was quite impressed with the prices for a Japanese restaurant located […]
As mentioned in my other blog entry on Carousel, my family and I decided to ditch the ideas of steamboat at home or lo hei dinner at some Chinese restaurant and celebrate our CNY eve here instead. I wasn’t seriously enthusiastic in dining at the same place twice in a month but a reunion meal […]
What’s the best thing to do on a Sunday besides not having to wake up early for work? Enjoying a sumptuous dim sum morning tea with the family! Oh I love Sundays 🙂 Yum Cha Chinatown is somewhere we frequent very often for dim sum. We love the look and feel of the restaurant that […]
A homegrown brand which I grew up with. My childhood bestie’s mum whom I also addressed as ‘Mummy’ used to work as a captain at the Ang Mo Kio outlet. I remembered those days after school when I would take the bus with my bestie to the restaurant for some complimentary munchies. We were little […]
Carousel was awarded the Best Buffet Restaurant in People’s Choice Awards 2009 and is one of the few good halal hotel buffets in Singapore. I used to be a big fan of weekend hi teas but had never found a place where I would consider returning again. Finally, my search is over now. Situated at […]
A night craving for chilli crab brought us to Jumbo @ Riverwalk. This is of course one of my frequently visited Jumbos because of its accessible location as compared to its other outlet at East Coast Seafood Centre. A nice restaurant situated next to the Singapore River, it is almost always filled with locals and […]
Having lived in Ang Mo Kio for almost (if not all) my whole life, I had only discovered this hidden gem 3-4 years back. Most famous for its claypot crab beehoon, the restaurant which is located at the void deck of Blk 232 Ang Mo Kio probably draws customers from all over Singapore. I’m not […]
