I had long heard about the vintage high tea at House at Dempsey but hadn’t had the chance to visit earlier as the high tea is only available on Thursdays and Fridays. Just when I was planning a day out for the husband’s Big 3-0 birthday two weeks ago, I realised his big day was […]

I just love how black pepper sauce can be as versatile as mushroom sauce and that’s why both sauces are so frequently used in Western, Chinese and even Japanese cuisine. Normally, I’d make this black pepper sauce to go with grilled chicken but I felt like having salmon today so I just gave it a […]

This is a no-carb muffin recipe which is very easy to make without the hassle of preparing several components of the traditional fry-up. Only 3 ingredients are required but of course if you like, you can always include additional stuffs like button mushrooms, diced bell peppers, sweet corn kernels, bacon bits, etc to bulk them up. Egg & Ham […]

I’ve been a regular of Thai Express since a decade ago. And to date, I still think it serves up the best seafood phat thai in Singapore which is always my sure-to-order item every time I’m here. And the best part is, no matter which Thai Express branch I go to, standard of their food […]

When I asked the husband before his birthday if he’d like me to bake a cake for him, he requested for a healthy and low calorie cake that we both could eat without worries so our diet plans wouldn’t go haywire. But to be honest, I find that really hard to do so because it takes […]

Just like K-Pop has taken the world by storm, Korean cuisine has also knocked out my all-time favourite Japanese food and claimed top position now. It’s just funny that I no longer seem to enjoy sushi and sashimi as much as before but I can easily have a kimchi stew or bibimbap any time, even twice in a day. I must […]

When I told the husband that there is this ramen shop at 100AM that serves free-flow hard-boiled eggs, I could immediately see a twinkle in his eyes. I’m sure he loves eggs more than his wife, lol. And I often feel bad for restricting his egg yolk intake because it is so not good for health especially when he consumes […]

I was snooping inside the freezer and found some balance seaweed chicken from last time so I decided to whip up an impromptu lunch of stir fried penne today so the husband and I could stop brainstorming on what to eat and where to have lunch. This meal could probably be our last home-made non-clean […]

As part of my Ang Mo Kio food hunt, I made my way to Mayflower Market & Food Centre wanting to eat this fishball noodles which I thought was pretty good when I tried it a long while back but the stall had closed and was replaced by a pastry shop. So I walked to the other […]

Now that my freezer is well stocked up with more salmon after a trip to Fassler (the salmon factory at Woodlands Terrace), I’m trying to cook salmon in various ways possible and this recipe is just one of them. I made this Crispy Salmon Salad for my post-gym lunch as I didn’t want something too […]

Godma and I were at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3 as she wanted to grab a bottle of ointment (to ease joint pains and muscle aches) from this Chinese medical hall at Blk 302 whose physician happens to be Wong Fei Hong’s 4th generation disciple. I’m fascinated by resourceful folks like Godma herself who always […]

Most of the time when we think of Kung Pao, we would associate it with boneless chicken cubes or crunchy shelled prawns that go so well with the deliciously sweet, salty and spicy sauce. I just thought of experimenting my Kung Pao Chicken recipe with pork tenderloin (because that’s what I have in the freezer […]

Teriyaki is one of my preferred sauces in Japanese cuisine because I like that combination of sweet and salty that seems to make anything taste good. From hamburger steak, meatballs, seafood, grilled chicken to beef rolls, this recipe for home-made teriyaki sauce simply works with all. Why buy bottled ones when you can easily make it […]

Happy Birthday, dear husband! You are one year wiser today, woo hoo! 🙂 An exciting day awaits you! Ok, back to food. The folks finally won the Big Sweep for the first time ever after ‘wasting money’ over a span of 30+ years (it’s like winning a few hundred dollars only after losing thousands beforehand but it’s all about the […]

I came across Pine Garden’s Cake in my recent Ang Mo Kio food hunt and I recalled this was the same cake shop that the husband had mentioned to me before my birthday because he had read good reviews about its cakes and thought of buying a cake from there for me. (Thank goodness he didn’t!) We […]
