I was flipping through a Chinese soup cookbook at a bookshop some time ago just to get some inspiration for new soups to make and I came across this recipe that combined clams and Chinese yam. Normally I wouldn’t think of having both seafood and poultry in a soup as I felt the former would […]

Update Feb 15: Went to Woodlands & Senoko for CNY food factory shopping and found a factory that specialises in a wide variety of steamboat ingredients at incredible prices. Check out my Chinese New Year 2015 Food Factory Wholesale Shopping @ Woodlands & Senoko post to find out more. I am currently planning on what […]

The husband and I were scouting around Upper Thomson Road for dinner options when we came across this Chinese steamboat place at a corner. What beats having hot, piping steamboat to warm our tummies on a cool, rainy day! Besides, the husband had not tried such Chinese style steamboat before as I had only brought […]

…is Steamboat! I’m sure many of you would agree with me 🙂 It’s the end-of-year rainy season now and I just crave for hot, piping steamboat. I just happened to see this Aerogaz induction cooker (with pot) deal at NTUC Fairprice atrium fair at AMK Hub. It only cost $33.90 for the whole set. Anyway, […]

Fancy travelling from one end of SG to another end just for a meal? That’s probably what we are starting to do at least 1-2 times a month. And Ikea is somewhere we visit rather frequently (despite always leaving the place empty handed – but tummy full!). Seafood Chowder ($3.00) I’m always a big fan […]

After an enjoyable evening of watching the Voyage de la Vie @ Resorts World, I was hungry for something soupy and just happened to see a Ramen Play opposite the theatre. Perfect. Didn’t manage to take good pictures of the restaurant though as it was near closing time. Nevertheless, we were in time to make the […]

[Update Aug 2016: This stall has ceased operation.] Who says healthy food has to be bland? At least, I would give my thumbs up for the healthy tonic soups here. See the newspaper clippings pasted on the stall front. They had been rated by Channel U, Zao Bao, Wan Bao, Xin Min Ri Bao and […]
