Sometimes the simplest things in life would give the most pleasure. Something as simple and insignificant as a bowl of hot piping beef pho noodles is good enough to comfort the tummy and warm the soul. Whenever I see a Vietnamese eatery, I get really excited like a little kid in a candy store. Needless […]

Who says eating out is always unhealthy? There are actually many different types of food that weight watchers can go for and one best option is soup. Soup Spoon is one of my preferred places to go to for western style soups with my all-time favourite being the Simon and Garfunkel Chicken and Mushroom Ragout (at 320 calories […]

Having lived in Ang Mo Kio all my life, I know there are actually a lot more to explore in this new town besides the AMK Hub and the already-bustling town centre. I realise there are so many food centres in the neighbourhood that we can go to even though every weekend my husband and […]

Since trying the butter crabs at Mellben Seafood of which the thick and creamy sauce was to die for, I decided to try out my own rendition at home with crunchy prawns. And for that extra punch and aroma, I had added some mild curry powder and loads of curry leaves to my concoction which yielded […]

Whenever I come to this part of Singapore, it’s always to visit the Nike Factory Store (Level 1, West Coast Plaza) to grab new trainers or sports apparel. I was here on a Saturday afternoon but it was clearly not that crowded. Not even in the mall itself so it’s pretty good to just walk around without the […]

Hooray! I’m delighted to have lost almost 10kg in 2 1/2 months with cardio exercises and strength training. And I’m happily throwing out my old clothes to make way for new ones as they are all 1-2 sizes too big for me now. I must really give credit to the LIVESTRONG calorie tracker app that […]

* Sponsored Review * In my previous review on Happy Avenue (click here to read), I had raved about Judy Then’s traditional plain kueh lapis which I totally adore. It is a layered cake any kueh lapis aspires to be – buttery rich and full of egg flavour – minus the unwelcome grease on the fingers. When Judy told me she would […]

Visiting Westgate for the first time last week was really a fruitful experience for me as it is a new mall with new (finally!) shops to explore besides different dining options and of course this enticing bakery too. No good bakery escapes my eyes, lol. That’s how passionate I am with breads, not just any other breads […]

Recently I’m quite into cooking one-main-dish-on-rice type of meals. Not only they are inexpensive to prepare, they consist of a balanced diet with both meat and vegetables in them which means I do not have to cook another meat or vegetable dish separately and that certainly saves time especially great for weekday dinners when you’re […]

I really like the convenience of having food kiosks at MRT stations that have been sprouting up in busy suburban towns all over the island these days so grabbing a bite while commuting to & from school or work is simply easy-peasy. When I was at Woodlands earlier, I was just impressed by the long […]

I just had a sudden thought of my last business trip to the Philippines and recalled that the food I had there were very similar to our Chinese food so I started searching for Filipino recipes and came across this congee one which looked really scrumptious. Hot congee is always so tummy warming on a […]

Since my last visit to Monster Curry (read my earlier blog post here), the husband and I decided to give the Monster Combo Curry Set a try again but this time at a higher spice level of Super Hot. And our verdict? It is still not hot enough! I really don’t think the next and highest […]

Black carrot cake is one of my favourite weekend breakfast foods because I just love the generous amount of eggs in them that’s coated with sweet black sauce. When I saw ready made carrot cake at NTUC Fairprice, I just thought of making black carrot cake at home as a quick snack which is really […]

Update: Restaurant is now closed. Sawadee Ka! Thai cuisine has always been my all time favourite food because I love the flavours of sweet, sour and spicy that are always so well balanced in all of its dishes. And I like that seafood such as prawns and squids are also commonly used in Thai cuisine […]

The husband said he would like to have watercress soup for dinner and I cringed because it was a soup that I disliked since I was little. Even when Gran used to make it a lot at home last time because it is supposedly nutritious and cooling for the body, I would only eat the […]
