After having a hearty breakfast at Happy 3 Bites Cafe, my ‘PIC’ and I hopped over to Batterworks where we spent the longest time in out of the three cafes we visited at Everton Park. This cafe was such a sweet find. Clearly a hidden gem in this quiet neighbourhood. I loved its cosy ambience, […]

Update: This cafe is now closed. My ‘partner-in-crime’ and I dedicated a Saturday as our brainstorming day to talk about our business plans and it couldn’t have been a better time to pick a quaint and quiet area to discuss things in peace while enjoying a good cuppa with assorted bites on a lazy afternoon. And so we were here at Everton Park, […]

I love no-cook pasta sauces because they are just so easy to make. All I need is just my handy food processor to blend everything together. Avocado is a perfect ingredient to make such a pasta sauce because of its slightly eggy flavour, rich and creamy texture that really gives dimensions to any pasta type. […]

When I was little, I often followed my father to his favourite coffee stall for breakfast on Sundays and I remembered how he’d pour the coffee onto the saucer just so it could cool off quicker and I could drink with the spoon. I never forgotten his favourite was kopi-o siu dai (coffee black with […]

A rich and creamy cheese sauce cascading down a mountain of tender, juicy sliced beef is such a tantalising sight and that’s exactly what makes a cheesesteak sandwich look so scrumptiously mouth-watering. It’s also not difficult to make it. I have a big bag of cheddar cheese in the freezer waiting to be used up so when the […]

[Updated Dec 2014: Spanish Doughnuts is now closed.] Churros, my greatest love and they always have been since I had my first bite of it while in the US many many years ago. I don’t remember having (or even seeing) any churros when I was in Barcelona with K (which is kinda weird when it’s […]

I had some leftover panko breadcrumbs from the tonkatsu I made earlier which I thought would be a waste if I threw them away so I decided to make some onion rings with them. I don’t normally use panko for onion rings (click here for my usual onion rings recipe) but there’s always a first […]

The husband is a die-hard fan of my Chicken Katsudon as he feels the panko breadcrumbs really give the meat an incredible crunch when fried. I don’t really prepare fried food that often at home but when I do, I let him indulge to his heart’s content, lol. So when I saw some really nice slabs of pork […]

Update: This has closed and is replaced by a Thai food stall. I was chit-chatting with the yong tau foo stall owner at the wet market near my home couple of days ago who told me the new tenant 2 units away would be selling chilled and frozen vegetarian food products. Yay! I’m already looking forward […]

When that terrible haze struck Singapore last year, I had been constantly stocking up my pantry with green beans, barley and chrysanthemum that are known for their ‘cooling’ properties as the older folks always reminded us to consume them so we could achieve a yin-yang balance in the body and minimise our chances of falling ill especially […]

I was first introduced to Hock Lam Beef @ Far East Square by a colleague some years back when I was working at Raffles Place area then. Their beef noodles was one of the better ones in Singapore that I’d tried so when the husband told me he wanted to have beef noodles, this place […]

I just love how easy it is to make this healthy and nutritious soup without using too much seasonings as the carrot and sweet potatoes are already naturally sweet. I chose to steam them instead of boiling them so most if not all nutrients and goodness can be kept behind. And to give it a little […]

I’m back at my favourite hawker centre with the husband! There’s this indescribable charm to the whole Tiong Bahru Market environment that always makes me want to come here and eat and whatever food I order can just easily put a smile on my face and makes me go ‘hmm hmm’, lol. Anyway, we were here […]

Have you ever eaten mashed avocados but thought they tasted like boiled eggs? Probably that’s why I love avocados a lot, lol. I often substitute mayonnaise or other store-bought sauces with avocados to make this creamy, buttery yet heart-healthy dressing for most of my salads. This is pretty much a high protein & low carb type of salad […]

Whenever I’m at Tiong Bahru, I’d never leave without buying some kueh kueh from my favourite old-school bakery, Galicier. If you’ve been following my blog, you’d probably know I’m one of Galicier’s big-time fans, lol. Their Chinese New Year cookies, nonya kuehs, cakes and pastries – I totally heart them all. Recently, I went again […]
