Entering this casual Korean restaurant makes me feel I’m at a friend’s house with a very homely and cosy atmosphere which was really the first thing that caught my eye as the husband and I was roaming around for a lunch option. I’m sure that’s a Korean chef in the kitchen. Everything in here from […]

I’m a big fan of western style soups especially the creamy, thick ones with lots of different textures in them from the various ingredients used. Whenever I drop by any of my favourite bakery (Sun Moulin @ Isetan Scotts is one), I’d definitely grab a baguette and then go home to whip up a warm […]

I have known Ubi as an industrial estate for the longest time ever but when I got wind that it is also a roaster heaven with a good number of roast meat factories and suppliers around, I decided to venture into this godforsaken place and embark on my hunt for cheap and good roast duck […]

I made wanton noodles earlier and had these extra egg noodles left in the fridge so I turned them into a fried egg noodles dish that’s both delightful and easy to make. You can just about use any ingredients or leftovers in your fridge, be it chicken breast, ham, luncheon meat, broccoli, chinese mushrooms, etc. […]

This dish is what I call the best of both worlds because the husband loves his roast pork and I love my yam. And we both adore that salty and savoury braising sauce that goes so well with steamed rice. It’d probably taste better if the yam was deep fried but I really preferred not […]

Everything with Fries (EwF) is probably one of my few preferred fast food outlets (besides Mackey-D’s) as it serves up some really decent burgers and fries. Plus its outlet at Orchard Central is quite a nice place to chill out in with friends. Every piece of the skinny wing is half a mid-joint section of a […]

I was at Sheng Siong the other day and saw a lovely carton of pearl beans on sale. Just couldn’t resist grabbing one bunch of the beans. I was planning to make lotus root peanut soup but decided to replace the peanuts with these pearl beans instead. My mum had made pearl bean soup a […]

There used to be a really popular minced meat noodles stall (Joo Heng Bak Chor Mee) at the hawker centre near my home but ever since the boss decided to retire a couple of months ago, there really wasn’t a good enough substitute in the vicinity that could be on par with it. This also […]

I share a special relationship with Yum Cha Restaurant as it’s a place where I had experienced a few first times. The first dim sum buffet I had with the husband. The first meal my husband had with my parents. The first pre-wedding meal between my in-laws and my parents. Time flies but the nostalgic […]

The husband and I often come to this coffeeshop where Astons Express is located and every time we are here dining, we would see people ordering various delectable vegetarian dishes from this particular stall. The frying aroma of their carrot cake and oyster omelette in the air was so tempting too hence we decided to […]

Sodas make excellent braising and stewing sauces for meats especially coke which I like to cook with chicken wings. I happened to have a few cans of ginger ale at home and thought I’d try using it to stew some eye round beef that I bought from the supermarket the other day. Stewed Beef in […]

One thing that I like about Ajisen Gourmet Town @ NEX is that it houses two of its restaurant brands Ajisen Ramen from Kyushu, Botejyu from Osaka as well as one of its own self-developed brands, Aji-Tei (means ‘a restaurant of tastes’) under one roof so customers can get to savour different types of Japanese […]

Tau Cheo (Fermented Soy Beans) Pork Ribs is another of Gran’s signature dishes so every time I make this, it really evokes memories of the good old days. I tweaked my recipe several times as I wanted to achieve that same balance of flavours in Gran’s version. Not exactly like hers yet but close enough […]

Before this bar’s existence in 2010, ‘KPO’ to most people probably referred to the Killiney Post Office that is located next to this bar today within the same building. KPO Cafe Bar is however not named after the post office. It’s located on the junction of Killiney, Penang and Orchard Road, hence the name. A […]

It is really unusual for me to prepare a dish with pig liver as I’m never fond of it since I was young. Just that I cooked bak chor mee (minced meat noodles) a few days ago and had half of a pig liver left and the husband didn’t want me to waste it so […]
