Hooray! I’m delighted to have lost almost 10kg in 2 1/2 months with cardio exercises and strength training. And I’m happily throwing out my old clothes to make way for new ones as they are all 1-2 sizes too big for me now. I must really give credit to the LIVESTRONG calorie tracker app that […]

Ok, I wouldn’t really call this a recipe as it only involves putting two ingredients into the oven. A bottle of ikan bilis (dried anchovies) with peanuts is something that I always have in the pantry as I like to sprinkle them over plain porridge or vegetable stir-fry. I’m quite fussy about what type of […]

* Sponsored Review * In my previous review on Happy Avenue (click here to read), I had raved about Judy Then’s traditional plain kueh lapis which I totally adore. It is a layered cake any kueh lapis aspires to be – buttery rich and full of egg flavour – minus the unwelcome grease on the fingers. When Judy told me she would […]

Visiting Westgate for the first time last week was really a fruitful experience for me as it is a new mall with new (finally!) shops to explore besides different dining options and of course this enticing bakery too. No good bakery escapes my eyes, lol. That’s how passionate I am with breads, not just any other breads […]

Recently I’m quite into cooking one-main-dish-on-rice type of meals. Not only they are inexpensive to prepare, they consist of a balanced diet with both meat and vegetables in them which means I do not have to cook another meat or vegetable dish separately and that certainly saves time especially great for weekday dinners when you’re […]

I really like the convenience of having food kiosks at MRT stations that have been sprouting up in busy suburban towns all over the island these days so grabbing a bite while commuting to & from school or work is simply easy-peasy. When I was at Woodlands earlier, I was just impressed by the long […]

I just had a sudden thought of my last business trip to the Philippines and recalled that the food I had there were very similar to our Chinese food so I started searching for Filipino recipes and came across this congee one which looked really scrumptious. Hot congee is always so tummy warming on a […]

Since my last visit to Monster Curry (read my earlier blog post here), the husband and I decided to give the Monster Combo Curry Set a try again but this time at a higher spice level of Super Hot. And our verdict? It is still not hot enough! I really don’t think the next and highest […]

Black carrot cake is one of my favourite weekend breakfast foods because I just love the generous amount of eggs in them that’s coated with sweet black sauce. When I saw ready made carrot cake at NTUC Fairprice, I just thought of making black carrot cake at home as a quick snack which is really […]

Update: Restaurant is now closed. Sawadee Ka! Thai cuisine has always been my all time favourite food because I love the flavours of sweet, sour and spicy that are always so well balanced in all of its dishes. And I like that seafood such as prawns and squids are also commonly used in Thai cuisine […]

The husband said he would like to have watercress soup for dinner and I cringed because it was a soup that I disliked since I was little. Even when Gran used to make it a lot at home last time because it is supposedly nutritious and cooling for the body, I would only eat the […]

Since I bought a packet of garam masala ages ago just to make a tofu scramble, it has been sitting in my pantry cupboard for the longest time ever so while I was searching for recipes to make good use of the aromatic spice, I came across this recipe for chicken tikka which according to […]

Entering this casual Korean restaurant makes me feel I’m at a friend’s house with a very homely and cosy atmosphere which was really the first thing that caught my eye as the husband and I was roaming around for a lunch option. I’m sure that’s a Korean chef in the kitchen. Everything in here from […]

I’m a big fan of western style soups especially the creamy, thick ones with lots of different textures in them from the various ingredients used. Whenever I drop by any of my favourite bakery (Sun Moulin @ Isetan Scotts is one), I’d definitely grab a baguette and then go home to whip up a warm […]

I have known Ubi as an industrial estate for the longest time ever but when I got wind that it is also a roaster heaven with a good number of roast meat factories and suppliers around, I decided to venture into this godforsaken place and embark on my hunt for cheap and good roast duck […]
