Peranakan Buffet at Sun’s Cafe @ Hotel Grand Pacific

Happy Halloween! ??? ??? Though we don’t celebrate Halloween in Singapore, I like to do it my way by hiding underneath the bed covers and getting myself spooked ? with a horror movie marathon, woo! How are you celebrating Halloween at your side of the world? 🙂 The husband bought a Groupon deal (yes, again!) […]

Stir Fried Kiwi Chicken Recipe

While I always try to eat the daily recommended servings of vegetables, I seem to easily forget all about fruits. One good way to rectify this is to incorporate fruits into the food I cook. I haven’t really come across many dishes during outside dining that make good use of fruits except in sides like […]

Double Scoops – Artisan gelato in the heart of Ang Mo Kio

I love anything with yam so when I heard that Double Scoops in Ang Mo Kio serves up Orh Nee (‘yam paste’) ice cream, I just had to come by for a little treat. And I had this little fellow as company cos’ we were just next to each other by the wall. How cute, […]

Healthy Laksa Recipe (with soy milk)

Laksa is a spicy noodle soup with a curry-like gravy that’s very popular in Malaysia and Singapore. Foodies here will probably know how ‘unhealthy’ laksa can be because of the use of coconut milk to give it that rich and creamy flavour and not forgetting that layer of reddish-looking oil that’s always floating on the […]

Easy Soy Milk Recipe

While soy milk isn’t an expensive drink and is readily available at all hawker centres in Singapore, it is quite a gratifying experience to make your own soy milk at home as it’s not difficult to do so. Some time ago, the husband was considering to buy this J-brand soy milk maker (because there was […]

Korean Biscuits from Young Yang Confectionery

Popped over to Seoul Mart at HillV2 to collect these biscuits which I got off Qoo10 and I thought I would share a review on them because they were quite unique in terms of flavour and taste. Each 65g pack retailed at S$9.90. These biscuits from Young Yang Confectionary Co. Ltd first caught my attention […]

Day and Night Bistro @ Tiong Bahru

This place was formerly known as Two Face Pizza & Taproom but it closed last December after two years in business. Now, Day and Night runs on the same concept – it is a regular coffee shop that houses Ah Bong’s Italian and also serves up local favourites like yong tau foo by day; it then […]

Steak with Mushroom Sauce Recipe

During the period when I was recuperating after surgery, the husband took care of most of my meals. When I could finally chew on something hard (goodbye porridges and congees!), he whipped up a steak meal for me as a well deserved treat. His ‘anyhow-make’ recipe turned out to be pretty satisfying 🙂 Weeks later, […]

Fatboy’s The Burger Bar @ Upper Thomson Road

The husband was yearning for a burger – an unhealthy one that would make us feel guilty after eating but at the same time, die without regrets, haha. And so we made our way to Upper Thomson Road for Fatboy’s, one of the most popular burger joints in Singapore, for what we always looked forward […]

Pork Ribs Curry Recipe

My maternal grandmother makes a fabulous dry chicken curry that doesn’t require coconut milk which in turn makes it healthier too. For my version of ‘dry curry’, I decided to use pork ribs instead of chicken and packed a whole bunch of spices into the paste that really made the dish so flavoursome and moreish. […]

Shin Minori Japanese Restaurant @ UE Square (1-for-1 Buffet with The Entertainer App)

It has been almost 5 years since my last visit to Shin Minori (click on the link to read my past review). When I saw that it was a participating merchant on The Entertainer App, I just had to ask J to join me for a 1-for-1 lunch buffet (U.P. S$34++ per pax) that worked out […]

Stir Fried Lettuce Recipe (with Shimeji Mushrooms)

It’s Veggie Friday! And that’s why I am posting my 2nd vegetable recipe of the day 🙂 Are you into eggplant (brinjal/aubergine) dishes too? Check out my healthy Steamed Eggplant Recipe that I had just published earlier today. In the past, I would stir fry mushrooms with either broccoli, cauliflower or kai-lan (Chinese broccoli) but since […]

Steamed Eggplant Recipe (with Garlic Sauce)

Since I had my thyroid surgery, my doctor had strongly discouraged me from eating cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower because he said these were the vegetables that could promote ‘growth’ and because I still have a few small cysts on my right thyroid that’s still intact, I’m at risk for future complication should any of the […]

Hong Heng Beef Noodle Soup and Laksa @ Kebun Baru Food Centre

Like many foodies out there, the husband and I sometimes face what’s commonly known as a ‘first world problem’ because we always don’t know what to eat even though there is a huge hawker centre in our neighbourhood and several coffee shops too. To me, I guess it’s a happy problem because it spurs me on […]

S.E.A. Aquarium @ Resorts World Sentosa

I’ve been looking for gold again on Qoo10 and found another great ticket deal for the S.E.A. Aquarium. Ended up paying only S$24+ for 2 (admission-after-2pm) tickets that included admission to The Maritime Experiential Museum and Typhoon Theatre as well. That was a whopping 40% off the published rates! 😉 These tickets had at least […]

Singapore Roti John Recipe

I always chuckle when I think of roti john because it reminds me of the first time the husband and I played Taboo (Singapore edition). He hadn’t eaten roti john before and he didn’t know everything about Singaporean cuisine since he only moved to Singapore from the UK not long then but he managed to […]
