The last time I had yam rice was at my mum’s when she ‘anyhow’ made up one without a specific recipe in mind. That was just one of the very few occasions I would have dinner at her home since I got married because when she did cook, she didn’t seem to know how to […]

As I’m writing this post, I’m missing my favourite seafood at the same time because I can’t consume prawns, squids, etc yet due to my surgical incision that’s still healing. I can’t wait to go indulge in a seafood feast in a couple more weeks! Woo! Anyway, today I’m sharing a very simple stir fry […]

05/16 update: Seems like Dairy Queen has ceased operation in Singapore. It’s funny that the husband and I have now reversed roles. I used to be the one hooked onto online shopping but now he is the one looking out for deals and steals, haha. So while he was browsing for gadgets on Qoo10 a […]

I used to work near United Square years back and would often come by the Cedele outlet here for their soups during lunch. Their curry pumpkin soup and home-style beef stew were (and still are) my favourites and what I also liked about dining there was the free flow of artisanal breads that they provided. […]

I was initially a little hesitant to cook lamb at home because I had previous bad experiences with gamey lamb and the last thing I wanted was to end up with a gamey dish again that would totally be wasted. However when I went back to Zac Meats (the meat factory at Woodlands Terrace), I just couldn’t […]

This is a poultry version of my Pulled Pork Recipe. I had made some adjustments to the sauce by using fresh tomatoes instead of canned ones and also added water to give it more moisture. And for a refreshing change, I decided to use store-bought frozen chapati as a wrap instead of the regular tortilla […]

I shared my Korean Chicken Bulgogi Recipe a few weeks back when I made my first bento. This time round, I’ve cooked the same but have added two ‘more exciting’ side dishes as accompaniments. And it has been fun playing around with the presentation and plating of the meal because I’ve been stocking up on […]

Been about 3 weeks now and I think my post-op recovery is going well so far. The swell (sometimes causes slight breathing difficulty but not a big deal) and pain are still there but I can easily move around and get out of the house now. Haven’t been doing any cooking so far (can’t lift […]

I had known about Ocean Curry Fish Head more than five years ago when fellow colleagues highly raved about it. We would head there for lunch every now and then and I could still remember their very awesome Nonya-style fish head curry that was so worth travelling all the way there for. I hadn’t visited […]

When I first started my home cooking journey more than 2 years ago, I was very into spice ‘mixology’ and experimentation. I loved big flavours (and I still do) and I always tried to incorporate herbs and/or spices into my cooking whenever possible. I came up with a Lemongrass Chicken with Sunflower Seeds Recipe that had […]

Online shopping used to be an indulgent hobby for me but now it’s like a way of life. And it’s really not an overstatement to say that because I’m sure many of you think the same too. From fashion wear to accessories, books, kitchenware and groceries, I seem to be buying almost everything that I […]

Singapore’s most iconic national dish – the Singapore Chilli Crab – is well loved by many for a long time. While we love to mop up that delicious gravy with some fried mantou (Chinese bun) or douse rice with it, it also doubles up as an amazing dipping sauce for fried foods like potato wedges, […]

When it comes to fish & chips, Fish & Co. has always been my preferred choice since my college days more than a decade ago which is also one of the few casual dining restaurants in Singapore that I would keep going back on a regular basis. Though I’ve seen and known about Boston Seafood […]

Bento-making is my newfound hobby. Somehow it can get really addictive and I really wonder why, lol. Perhaps it’s about the challenge of trying to fit ingredients within a confined lunchbox space. But what I really like about it is the thought I’d put into each bento before deciding what to cook so every bento […]

A mayo-loaded (sometimes with Dijon mustard too) potato salad can be so hard to resist at times. It’s like one of my all-time favourite comfort foods and a must-order side dish when I’m having Western fare outside. While I do indulge in the same at home occasionally especially when I have a big bottle of […]
