Mashed potato is such a classic dish that I’m sure most of us have eaten a lot of it since we were little. While I like those with creamy textures that almost melt in the mouth, the coarsely mashed ones are equally tasty especially if you don’t mind eating potato skins. I like to keep […]
Joining The Bravery and Windowsill In The Woods in the hipster hood of Jalan Besar on Horne Road is this new artisanal bakery cafe, Two Bakers which is helmed by two Le Cordon Bleu Paris trained pastry chefs. The cafe not only serves up delectable French & American pastries that are handcrafted and baked fresh daily but […]
Every now and then, I like to make a salad for dinner on the first or second weeknight especially after a weekend of non-stop indulgence which is all I crave to detoxify myself from inside out, lol. For this pasta salad recipe, I made a wholegrain mustard dressing that was inspired by a side salad I had […]
The husband was at Alexandra Village Food Centre for lunch one weekday when he decided to buy a muffin for dessert after his colleague highly recommended this particular stall. And merely a few days after, we came back on the weekend as he kept telling me how good the muffin was and that I should really […]
Hands up if you like luncheon meat! 🙂 Probably one of the most versatile canned meats that is just delicious on its own and almost never go wrong in any way we cook it. I was inspired by this sweet and sour luncheon meat dish from my favourite mixed veg rice stall and I thought of making it […]
Couple of years back, the husband and I often frequented Jalan Besar when we had to shop for bathroom accessories for our new house then. And this particular ‘mixed veg rice stall’ that often saw throngs of customers was one of our favourites for a quick lunch. No one would expect decent food to be […]
Soba or buckwheat noodles are a great choice of carbs to cook with because they have this somewhat nutty flavour and hence don’t really need complicated seasonings to dress it up. This is another healthy recipe that doesn’t require much prep work. I chose to oven-bake my salmon but of course you can pan-fry them […]
It’s been a couple of years since I last went to Malacca on a food hopping trip and I really really miss that awesome lok lok I had at Capitol Satay Celup that was totally unrivalled. Its satay sauce was one of the best I’d ever tried! I had a craving for lok lok for a long while now […]
Whenever I think about Chinese-style steamboats, specific locations like Bugis especially Liang Seah Street, Tan Quee Lan Street and Beach Road will just come to mind. Having worked in that area previously, I had the chance to try out many of the steamboat restaurants in the vicinity as work often ended late so eating out […]
The Rice Table has been one of my all-time favourite Indonesian restaurants in Singapore ever since my college mate introduced me to it more than a decade ago when we were hosting our lecturer who was in town from the States. And whenever I need to host friends from overseas every now and then, this […]
Inspired by one of my favourite dishes, Sambal Goreng (fried tempeh, firm tofu & long beans in a spicy sambal paste) which we can always get from any nasi padang stall. Instead of using long beans, I substituted with broccoli florets instead and added an extra touch of kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) and sweet […]
If you love Teochew food, then you’d probably know or hear of Chui Huay Lim Teochew Cuisine that is located in the club of the same name along Keng Lee Road. Within the same club also houses 1 of 4 outlets of one of Singapore’s popular bak kut teh (pork ribs soup) eating houses, Ng Ah Sio Bak Kut […]
This stir fried pasta dish is similar to my Spicy Lemon Garlic Chicken Spaghetti Recipe except that I have used macaroni as my choice of pasta. If you like oglio olio (spaghetti with garlic & oil) and don’t mind a little tang and heat, you are likely to enjoy this macaroni recipe as it has a great […]
Finally finally, I’m here at Wheeler’s Yard. Probably one of the hottest and hippiest cafes in Singapore where cafe goers will come for their selfies and #OOTD shots. Come on, just look at the number of pictures posted on instagram and see if you spot that famous structure that is so sought after. And it’s none […]
I had been looking at pictures of those tantalising donuts with salted egg yolk dip on instagram and when I showed them to the husband, his heart fluttered. Donuts + salted egg yolk. How ingenious. We made a beeline for those little morsels. Didn’t care what else was there. We just had to satisfy our craving […]
This is another rendition of my Egg, Bacon & Avocado Salad Recipe that I just made up on the spot the other day for lunch after I came back from gym. While I decided to keep the hard-boiled egg in this, I substituted the bacon with firm tofu and tempeh (fermented soybeans) hence making this a […]
