Like many fellow Teochews, I’ve always liked orh nee (yam paste), braised duck, steamed pomfret, cold crabs as well as hot piping porridge that I never seem to get sick of because there are just so many different choices of ingredients that I can choose from every time I’m at a stall like this. This particular […]

While the husband and I were in the long queue for Mizzy Corner’s nasi lemak, a lady also in the queue recommended us to try Weng Kee’s Ipoh Hor Fun. The husband’s eyes lighted up for a brief moment as he had been a big fan of it since I brought him to try his first […]

The husband and I were at Singapore Expo for some consumer shows and he suggested to take a half hour bus ride all the way to Changi Village for nasi lemak since we were already in that part of Singapore. I readily agreed as I hadn’t been there before plus I’d heard so much about the […]

I used to dislike rosemary when I was in my teens because there was one time when I had a roast lamb leg dinner for Christmas (can’t remember from where), the gamey smell of the meat was nauseating and the overly intense flavour of the rosemary (probably used in excess to cover up that gamey […]

Changi City Point is one of the husband’s favourite malls in Singapore because it has factory outlets of most of his preferred sports brands like Nike and Adidas. These days he shops more than I do and it seems like hanging out in malls is once again a frequent affair for us which I don’t […]

I’m a big fan of banh mi which is a Vietnamese-style sandwich with ingredients encased in a light and airy baguette and I think NamNam Noodle Bar in Singapore serves up some really decent ones that are not only tasty but very wallet friendly too. A typical banh mi is filled with either grilled pork or […]

I just wonder why pate in some restaurants can be so overpriced. I bought one packet of fresh chicken livers from NTUC Fairprice at under $2 and I could make an entire ramekin of pate that lasted me and my husband over a few days. We spread it over toast in the mornings and even used it […]

I was at Xin Yuan Vegetarian Food Trading earlier as I wanted to grab some vegan mayo and I thought of buying their ‘eggless’ egg tarts for the husband to try but too bad they were not available. I saw these vegetarian cream puffs which looked pretty decent so I got one box to try out. Looked like standard cream […]

Sometimes it can be so easy to be deceived by long queues, thinking that the food must be REALLY good that’s why so many people are willing to queue and wait. But it’s really not the case every time, isn’t it? Here at Song Heng, there is absolutely no queue at all. And it’s not that it […]

The husband prefers a higher protein diet these days because of his regular body-building and weight-lifting workouts. When we found really affordable tuna steaks from Fassler Gourmet the last time we were there, he’s totally into tuna now because it’s meaty in terms of texture and it’s a great source of lean protein with very little […]

The first two things that come to my mind when I think of the brand, Panasonic are usually electronic goods and household appliances. When I heard the news that Panasonic was going into agribusiness, I was ratherhttps://www.teacrate.co.uk/hints-and-tips/how-to-limit-your-food-waste-this-winter/ surprised. In fact, its first indoor vegetable farm facility in Singapore which was set up in October last year […]

Nothing beats a pretty, delicate and tasty cupcake that easily makes grey skies blue. Plain Vanilla is one of my favourite bakeries in Singapore where I’d keep going back for its cuppies that never fail to deliver that warm and fuzzy feeling every time I sink my teeth into one. So when I was at Holland […]

Fresh cod fish has always been our favourite choice of fish but it’s just getting too expensive these days as price has gone up to almost $60 per kg at NTUC Fairprice. This time round, I decided to go for grouper fillets (fresh ones, I’m never a big fan of those pre-packed frozen types) instead as […]

I was invited to a media event last week at Jurong Point together with other bloggers and media friends to tour their latest addition to the mall which is a themed-destination concept “Mongkok” that replicates the bustling streets and markets of Hong Kong. From now till 31 August 2014, there’d be buskers’ performances, roving acts, on-the-spot games and […]

Sandwich is my new best friend and it’s something that I cannot live without especially on days when I need a quick lunch or a relaxing no-cook dinner. Besides Subway’s sandwiches, NamNam Noodle Bar is probably my only preferred choice of what I call Vietnamese fast food because of its wickedly tasty pork belly banh mi. […]
