Chwee kueh (steamed rice cake) had never been a big thing for me during my growing up years because I wasn’t a fan of chye poh (preserved radish) which was always heavily soaked in oil. And it was only when the husband decided to settle down in Singapore a few years back and I brought him to various […]

I’m happy to have experimented with many new dishes with all the stuffs I had bought from Foodie Market Place especially the big packet of cheddar cheese and block of pecorino romano that I never seem to be able to finish using them, lol. I quite like using pecorino cheese as a topping for these […]

119 @ Bukit Merah is no doubt one of the hippest and most happening neighbourhood joints where we can go eat, drink and socialise. But the unique thing is, it is actually a kopitiam in our local terms and it’s probably the only coffee shop in Singapore that requires a reservation to be made beforehand. Located just a stone’s […]

I can never resist Hokkaido scallops that are always plump, succulent and sweet. Though they are a bit pricey for home cooking, I really don’t mind treating ourselves every now and then. And I think the best way to cook them is to pan-sear them quickly on a hot pan so the insides remain tender […]

I’m truly envious of people residing in Tiong Bahru because it’s a charmingly quaint and tranquil estate filled with a wide selection of old time hawkers dishing up awesomely good local food. It also constantly renews itself with fresh elements, from the various hip cafes perfect to chill out in to the more underrated gems like this shop I’m recommending which is […]

The husband couldn’t stop raving about this snack when we found 3 bags of them on the supermarket shelf after a lady before us snagged a basket filled with these chips. A colleague of his had brought these Popcorners to office a while ago and everyone gave their thumbs up for the product. They are often out […]

I think home cooking can sometimes be a form of art too in a sense that we can try recreating dishes from leftover ingredients without them looking like leftover food. And I kinda enjoy cracking my brain to churn up something really easy to make with whatever I have in the fridge as I don’t like […]

My Dad, my husband and I visited Gran recently and decided to have lunch at Serangoon Garden Food Centre as my cousin had recommended us to try the popular Teochew style braised duck rice stall that always have a long queue. Finally a peaceful lunch without ‘disturbances’. I couldn’t even recall when was the last time I had […]

Whenever I dine at Lao Beijing, I will definitely order their Sliced Pork with Garlic Sauce 蒜泥白肉 which comprises of thinly sliced tender pork (like those used in shabu shabu) with a good balance of lean and fat so they have that chew and crunch at the same time. The pungent odour of raw minced garlic is […]

Update: This bakery is now closed. The husband always says I’m very ‘atas’ when it comes to bread because I only buy expensive ones from posh-looking bakeries. While it is true to a certain extent that I do find most of those breads truly worth the calories but it’s also because I’ve not been wowed by any […]

This is a slightly simplified variation of my Salmon & Sutchi Fish Cakes Recipe. I had bought some frozen premium halibut fillets from Fairprice earlier and thought of combining them with the salmon I already had to make fish cakes. Though I didn’t use any egg as a binding agent here, the ingredients were still able to […]

Most of the time, the husband and I only come to this food court for Penang Delights Prawn Mee & Lor Mee (read my review here) which is one of the better ones I’ve tried in Singapore. Just two months ago, we were gallivanting late at night around AMK Central and felt like having something light for […]

The husband loves eggs as well as anything with eggs so naturally he’d adore egg tofu too. In order to make this an even more eggy-tasting dish, I included a beaten egg into the minced meat mixture for a slightly gooey texture which really complemented the ‘drier’ egg tofu and the rice congee that I cooked. […]

Originating from Hakata, Kyushu, Japan, Yoshimaru Ramen Bar in Singapore is a franchise business managed by the Jumbo Group. The restaurant serves up the famous classic Hakata style Tonkotsu Ramen that is authentically made in the same way as the Japanese does. After the husband had successfully conquered the Yoshimaru Ramen Challenge on Sunday (read about […]

The night before the challenge… Me: Are you sure you want to do this? Husband: LP, I can do it! Me: But it will be too hot for you! Husband: (very confidently) I can do it! I can finish it in 5 minutes! So on Sunday, we headed down to Yoshimaru Ramen Bar at Holland […]
