This beautiful poem was written by another website reader of mine. It’s really uplifting especially during moments when you fall and don’t have the strength to stand up again. Sometimes all we need is just something to hang on to… Life isn’t a Bed of Roses by Elise Thick and thin you’ll go through all […]

I love cooking different types of porridge by experimenting with various ingredients. Broccoli and cauliflower are great vegetable choices as they don’t turn mushy easily. Just add some chicken breast or minced chicken, this would be a low-fat, low cholesterol, nutritious porridge meal fit for the whole family. Healthy Brown Rice Porridge with Broccoli & […]

My husband used to hate garlic. He said he never liked it even when he was back home in England and whenever he saw garlic in any dish, he’d rather waste time in picking out the garlic bits then eat them. But he’s a changed man now. Because I exposed him to the garlic culture […]

Jollibee, the largest fast food chain in Philippines with over 800 stores worldwide, has rocked the local fast food scene and brought fried chicken to another level. In fact, I read in the news some time back that their first outlet in Singapore, started only in March this year at Lucky Plaza, is their top […]

I went to the salon and had my waist-length hair cut to just below the shoulder. And I felt good about it because psychologically, it was a therapeutic experience. It was like lifting a stone off me after it weighed down on me for ages. Anyway, my thick and heavy hair had caused my scalp […]

I normally don’t eat breakfast but when I do, I eat like a king. And I can never resist a full English breakfast because I love variety. I love eating different things, enjoy different flavours, appreciate different textures all in one meal. For this breakfast, my husband joined me in the kitchen to prepare sauteed […]

…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, […]

I have blogged about my favourite claypot rice before which is one of the many local foods in Singapore that I adore. For this home-made version, I did not use a traditional claypot. As such, the best bits of burnt rice will not be present in this version but the flavour infiltrating every grain of rice […]

During my Tiong Bahru estate roaming tour, I came across this lovely bakery just opposite the Tiong Bahru Market after whiffing a slight aroma of chinese herbs as I was walking past it. I then realised that this must be the (first) bakery in Singapore that specialises in various healthy breads that are made of […]

I am not much of a techie compared to the husband so writing this review is really a challenging task for me as I don’t know the right lingo to use. But as this product is not currently (officially) available in Singapore yet, I think it’s worth taking a closer look at it before making […]

With so many emerging brands and new products launched in the market every day, it is almost impossible to buy and try everything at once. That is why subscription to sampling boxes are gaining more popularity these days. Each sampling box brings together an assortment of samples from manufacturers ranging from beauty products, fragrances, sundries […]

I was busy in the kitchen preparing dinner earlier when the postman came knocking on the door. I was a little puzzled as I knew I hadn’t ordered any goods recently so when I was handed a big, heavy package, I was really excited to know what it was. A surprise package filled with lovely […]

I was craving for nonya kuehs and lor mee so I went gallivanting in Tiong Bahru for some good eats. Headed to Tiong Bahru Market for lunch and had queued up at Tiong Bahru Lor Mee Stall (#02-80) for at least 10 minutes but was told their Lor Mee had sold out by the time […]

I had a big box of yellow cornmeal left after making corn muffins a while back so I decided to use them to whip up some pancakes for breakfast. The first time I made these cornmeal pancakes, they tasted a little gritty. This time, I par-cooked the cornmeal by pouring hot boiling water over it […]

5 years ago, I tried the Nasi Bojari at Madam Kwan’s at Suria KLCC and I simply couldn’t forget its luscious plate of tri-coloured rice with their signature fried chicken leg, beef rendang and assam prawns. Though Madam Kwan is also available in Singapore now at Vivocity, it just doesn’t feel and taste the same. So […]
