Back from Little India with a big haul of spices!? Can’t wait to make chicken biryani! Hmm, why do I always get so excited when I go shopping at Mustafa Centre, lol.? It’s a spice galore It’s because I’m always drawn to the huge masala section at Mustafa Centre (Level 2) where there is a […]

Happy Singles’ Day! Doesn’t quite apply to me as I’m married  but it’s equally significant to me as 11.11 is also the world’s biggest e-commerce day. That’s right. SHOPPING!!! 😆 I have been busy Taobao-ing today – buying a bunch of needs and wants. If you haven’t heard of Taobao, you’re really a froggie in […]

Hope all of you in SG (and if the country you reside in celebrates Deepavali, the Festival of Lights too 🙂 ) had a good holiday break yesterday. I was feeling a bit under the weather in the last couple of days but managed to bounce back with more energy today. 🙂 Before Deepavali, I […]

Raita is a common side dish that’s typically served with biryani in Indian cuisine. It’s an unassuming side dish made with either vegetables, pulses or fruits and then mixed with yogurt before seasoning it. I’ve not really paid a lot of attention to the raita previously because I don’t eat it often enough. But I […]

Since my last visit to The Grand Gem Indian Restaurant @ Grand Bluewave Hotel in Johor Bahru, I really missed a good Indian buffet with robust-tasting dishes and lots of gravies and spices. One of my foodie friends recommended Riverwalk Tandoor which I had passed by countless times but never did I go in once […]

The husband and I popped over to Johor Bahru City Square for a day out of which we seemed to be doing much more often this year than before. It was just one of those moments when we ran out of ideas on where to go in Singapore that would spur us on to cross the causeway to catch a […]

The husband was craving for Indian food. I was craving for vegetarian. So when we went Tekka Market to buy spices one weekend, I was casually asking one shopkeeper for her recommendations for Indian vegetarian food and Gokul Vegetarian Restaurant at Upper Dickson Road (nearest MRT is Little India) was one of the options that popped up. We made our way […]

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 […]

North Indian food is often characterised by its thick gravies and yoghurt and the most popular dish that we often associate North Indian food with will definitely be the Tandoori Chicken which many people love. I was first introduced to Shahi Maharani @ Raffles City Shopping Centre many years ago and each time I went, […]
