I remembered I was first introduced to Pu Tien several years back by my ‘PK mum’ (an endearing term for a friend who calls me PK aka Pumpkin) as she was raving about its Lor Mee. In my mind, Lor Mee has always been a bowl of thick flat yellow noodles in a thick, dark […]
I make salads at least once every week in humongous portions sometimes so my husband and I can have it for dinner and for next day’s breakfast. Plus it is so easy to create home-made dressings with simple ingredients so it’s something that you can easily prepare, whether as a meal on its own or […]
When I was working at Raffles Place before, Yomenya Goemon at Marina Bay Link Mall was one of my favourite places to have lunch. Since a colleague greatly recommended me this place, it has become the only spaghetti house I go to now whenever I need a pasta fix. Yomenya Goemon opened its doors in […]
Woohoo!!! Definitely the best news ever for donut fans like me! I have waited 9 years for this day! It’s probably not a big deal to some of you because Krispy Kreme is probably readily available at where you live but for Singapore, this is truly a milestone as the donut industry here will finally be […]
It’s been a long while since I last ate corn muffins at Kenny Rogers Roasters. And I remembered how warm, fluffy and moist they were each time I took a bite into them. I came across a box of corn meal at Cold Storage one day and decided to try creating these muffins at home. […]
I love spring rolls. Be it fresh or fried. I just love how the different ingredients come together in a wrap just like the Mexican burrito except that you get a sweeter crunch of vegetables that makes you want more and more. I can probably eat 4-5 big rolls in one go. And when I […]
The husband wanted to go Queensway Shopping Centre to hunt for his Nike Dunk Low Sneakers but to no avail so we ended up in McDonald’s for tea and shared their newest Rendang Burger set. Double Beef Rendang Burger with Medium Fries & Small Coke When I opened the paper packaging of the burger, I […]
I’ve been wanting to try Monster Curry for quite a while but whenever I pass by one, the long queue just puts me off. I finally got the chance to one weekday before the peak lunch hour. Monster Curry claims to be the biggest and heaviest Japanese Curry Rice in Singapore. Probably yes because it’s […]
I felt absolutely gutted that I didn’t get a last chance to dine at Zhou’s Kitchen before it made its exit from Singapore last week. I’m sure my mother would be equally disappointed too because we had enjoyed their value-for-money weekday high tea buffets in the past whenever we had to go TTSH for her […]
Not only it looks pretty, this Swedish-version of roast potatoes is very easy to make. It makes a great starter or side for any meal. Or simply add your favourite toppings like bacon or cheese and have it on its own. Hasselback Potatoes Recipe Ingredients russet potatoes, washed and patted dry salt freshly ground black […]
If you often cook prawns/shrimps at home, do reserve the prawn heads & shells (they can be kept in the freezer for months so just keep accumulating) so you can make prawn stock in the future. Nothing ever goes to waste! Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee is a very popular hawker fare in Singapore and it’s […]
Since my husband moved here from England, he had dearly missed the pork dumplings that his mum used to make back home which were really tasty. So I attempted my first try at making these dumplings, in the hope of satisfying the husband’s cravings for this meaty delight. Pork Dumplings Recipe (Makes about 28-35 dumplings) Ingredients […]
For my Dad’s recent birthday, I had wanted to make a durian cake for him since durian is his favourite fruit. But due to the hazy weather earlier alongside with the presence of the unwelcomed flu bug at home, I had to change the durian cake to a Tiramisu Charlotte Cake which is less ‘heaty’ compared […]
Ever since the last time I dined at Blue Garden Korean BBQ Restaurant (read my review here) when I felt a little disappointed that there weren’t any beef short ribs, I decided to continue my hunt for another authentic Korean bbq place that could be the one. I love all sorts of Korean food and their […]
Ever since my last business trip to South Korea when I tasted the most divine grilled bulgogi beef, I’ve been in love with this dish for the longest time. I don’t have a Korean-style griller at home so I make bulgogi beef using my versatile kitchen buddy, the Happycall Pan. Korean Bulgogi Beef Ingredients 200g […]
I love our local hawker fare because they are mostly unhealthy (hence tasty) and I must say satay is one of my favourite choices especially when I prefer meat to carbs. In order for me and my husband to enjoy these sinful treats minus the high fat and high cholesterol content, the only way out […]
