I used to think miso is something really unhealthy because of its high salt content so I tend to avoid drinking too much miso soup when I dine at Japanese restaurants. It was only a few months back when I came across a magazine article that really wowed me with all the benefits of eating […]

When I blogged about Rive Gauche Patisserie earlier, one of my readers asked if I had tried Flor Patisserie’s Napoleon as it would ‘blow me away’. I did try before. It was good but not good enough to win me over. Especially not when Rive Gauche’s Napoleon is still sitting on the top spot. Flor […]

When my father was at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital A&E the other day due to sudden chest pain, I was with him in the observation ward and one of the nurses was serving bento lunches to patients. My father was given steamed white rice, steamed fish and stir fry broccoli with straw mushrooms. What a […]

I am so hooked onto fried chicken wings. I just blogged about my latest Oven Baked Curry Chicken Wings Recipe yesterday and here I am reviewing on Korean-style fried chicken wings the next day. No doubt, chicken wings are my all time favourite to snack on. Never got enough of them since I was little! This […]

Sounds like a depressing topic for a Christmas Day post but I thought of sharing my husband’s experience when he got dengue fever recently while details are still fresh in my mind as this episode had worried both of us out because dengue fever isn’t a small problem as it can be life-threatening if it […]

Christmas is my favourite time of the year. I remembered when I was little (probably 5 years old), I found an old Christmas stocking somewhere in the house so I hung it by my bed, hoping for Santa to stop by to fill up my stocking with little surprises. I slept early, told myself not to […]

Six months were gone in a flash since I moved from my old food blog to this new blog. Thank you all who have walked this journey with me, for giving me a listening ear and for giving me the much needed support and encouragement during the rocky moments and of course, thank you to […]

I was delighted to receive a surprise at my doorstep when I came home on Saturday. A cheery bouquet of sunflowers 🙂 The name of this bouquet is called ‘Rooting For You’. Three simple words but it’s exactly what my dear friend wanted to tell me. I knew her years back when we shared both […]

Some of you are probably not new to Sample Store which is one of the largest product sampling (a.k.a. ‘try-vertising’) platforms in Singapore. It carries more than 100 different brands in store and has up to 100,000 members to date. I joined Sample Store since its early days and have been regularly redeeming products that […]

Previously when I headed to town for a night out and craved for a late night snack, I found myself stuck with the usual common choices of 24-hour fast food and coffee outlets which weren’t exactly what I needed so when the Persian wave started sweeping across Orchard Road with kebabs to go, I warmly […]

I love potstickers and I have had some really good ones at People’s Park Food Centre before but I can never imagine myself making them because it seems like a great deal of effort to do it so when I decided to make these, I must be really in an extremely good mood that day […]

I love traditional confectioneries as they have played a pivotal role in shaping the local pastry making scene but yet they remain underrated as modern bakeries are now claiming a bigger share of the market with more innovative, trendy creations. I was first introduced to Tong Heng by my mum many years ago as she […]

Fermented bean curd, sometimes known as the Chinese version of cheese, is a very versatile condiment commonly used to flavour rice, porridge or stir-fries. While I like it as it is with plain porridge, I like to use it to marinate chicken too. If you’re a big fan of fermented bean curd like me, do […]

A fry-up lunch is almost non-existent in my culinary journey to date as I normally prefer to stir-fry, oven-bake or steam. So when a fried chicken craving hit me and I only had pork chops in the freezer, fried pork chops naturally came to mind. And since I was already planning to use (lots of) […]

A friend once said she preferred Lao Ban’s cold soya beancurd to traditional one like Rochor’s but she wasn’t aware that the former is made from soy bean powders (see my recipe here) whereas the latter is made from real beans. If you remember the Rochor beancurd saga many years back where a group of […]
