Update 07/2016: This outlet has ceased operation. Please visit Fassler Gourmet at its main branch at Woodlands Terrace. Some of you are probably familiar with Fassler Gourmet, the salmon factory at Woodlands Terrace by now. For those who still haven’t been there or heard about it, do check out my Food Factory Outlet Shopping at […]

My love for Singapore food is probably beyond imagination, lol. When I had to travel frequently for business in a previous job, the one thing that I’d always miss was our char kway teow, bak chor mee, chicken rice and the like because these local eats are simply a myriad of flavours, aromas, sights and sounds that are not only appetising but […]

Indonesian food has always been one of my preferred Southeast Asian cuisines because of the heavy use of various spices in almost every dish which creates these robust and aromatic flavours that linger on the palates and make me hanker for more. Simply irresistible. I was recently invited to a food tasting at Warung Kampung, set up by first-time […]

Earlier I had shared my Sweet & Spicy Crab Stick Salad Recipe. And this was what I had done with the main bulk of the crab sticks I bought. The version that I sampled from outside was actually deep fried in oil and they felt really greasy to the touch so I tried making mine a […]

I don’t normally fancy those packet imitation crab sticks that much because they are just like artificially-flavoured & artificially-coloured fish cakes. However, when I came across this crispy crab stick crackers at a temporary makeshift snacks stall in my neighbourhood, I thought it would be fun to try making the same at home. And yes, so I […]

I was making some chicken dumplings earlier and had a small amount of minced chicken left so I decided to do an impromptu omelette dish. I don’t really consider this as a recipe per se since it doesn’t involve any complicated prep or require any special seasoning but I just thought I’d share how I ‘decorated’ […]

One of the husband’s favourite dishes from our usual mixed rice stall is a Tomato Egg dish that is sweet, tangy and saucy which really gives a lot of punch and flavour when doused over white rice. The only gripe I had with that was that it contained MSG and was quite oily so I tried recreating […]

I don’t really cook a lot of beef at home. I’ve never even tried grilling beef steak for dinner to date (though the husband has been asking for it for a long time) so it gives us a good excuse to go to a steakhouse for a good steak whenever we crave for it, lol. When […]

Fish are really getting more and more expensive these days. Whenever I go marketing, it just pains me to buy that tiny slab of fresh cod (1 person’s portion or the most 2) at $10 a piece. The husband always comments that my cooking is more expensive than eating out, lol which I don’t deny […]

The husband and I headed down to Tiong Bahru for our monthly stocking-up spree at Foodie Market Place and went around looking for somewhere to have lunch as usual. It was about 1.30pm on a Saturday and we were happy to see that Ah Bong’s Italian was still open (we came by too late the last time) which […]

I never really fancy bottled pasta sauces that much because they are often flat in texture (I like my sauce with bits and chunks) and contain way too much sodium. For my Seafood Marinara Spaghetti Recipe, I use diced tomatoes with no salt to create the sauce base and then just season it with enough salt […]

I made this simple Mango Prawns Salad with inspiration from my other recipe, Cajun Spiced Salmon with Mango Salsa that was featured in Singapore’s Shape Magazine months ago. I loved the flavour of the Cajun spice mix that was further accentuated by the sweetness of the mango. The tartness & acidity from the lemon or lime juice just balanced […]

I hadn’t come back here for dim sum for a long while now though this stall which has been in operation for almost 30 years is just less than a 10-minute walk away from my house. How convenient! One of the Sundays, the husband and I decided to wake up early and head here for yum […]

The husband and I decided to stay home today to clear some work before our staycation & food hopping trip next week. And I felt inspired to bake something so we could have something to munch on for tea. With a bunch of bananas and a pack of chocolate chips left in my pantry, I was able […]

The husband and I were back at Jalan Besar to hunt for some bathroom parts. And as usual we would have our favourite curry rice lunch at Beach Road Scissor Cut Curry Rice whenever we were there. I must be feeling really ravenous that day because my tummy wasn’t exactly satisfied after a big plate of curry rice […]
