My godma popped by suddenly with fresh chicken wings and potatoes that she bought early in the morning to ask me to cook curry chicken for her. And I was glad that she also managed to get hold of freshly squeezed coconut milk from the market near her home. Fresh coconut milk really makes a […]
Finally arrived! I had placed my order in early December last year but due to the peak festive season, shipping was quite slow this time which was inevitable. I received my items in 3 separate boxes at different times over Christmas to the new year. Despite the holiday delay, everything came in good condition and […]
The husband and I love bean sprouts because of its light and crunchy texture. Plus it is probably the cheapest vegetable you can get from the wet market (I bought mine for only $0.30!) so it’s really a very affordable dish. I try to pair bean sprouts with different ingredients for variety. If you like […]
The husband gave me a surprise gift last night. It was a Pentax brand retro-style camera and my all-time favourite Forever Friends bear card. I was very touched that my husband managed to find this particular camera because it’s not a popular brand in Singapore. In fact, shops that carry Pentax cameras did not even […]
Whenever I chance upon a NYDC, I’d get reminded of an old classmate who really loved dining there that she’d always order the same baked rice, same pizza and same mudpie every time. This was more than 10 years ago when there was a NYDC outlet at Suntec City so it became one of our […]
The only time when I really enjoyed eating fish balls was probably during my primary school days when I’d order fish ball noodles soup at recess time. Over the years, I seemed to have lost interest in these balls that I used to like because the commercial ones have added flour and don’t taste of […]
When I last blogged about the palmier I had from Galicier Confectionery (read the post here), I made a comment that the one from Marks and Spencer Bakery was much better so when I dropped by Wheelock Place earlier, I decided to grab some bakes to go. In the beginning when M&S had revamped its flagship […]
Update Feb 15: Went to Woodlands & Senoko for CNY food factory shopping and found a factory that specialises in a wide variety of steamboat ingredients at incredible prices. Check out my Chinese New Year 2015 Food Factory Wholesale Shopping @ Woodlands & Senoko post to find out more. I am currently planning on what […]
Last month, I received a Mayer brand Dolce Cake Maker from OpenRice Singapore (a local online dining guide) for Christmas but there was a problem with the set so I got it exchanged at ToTT over the weekend and also had a good time exploring the store at the same time since it was my […]
The husband and I headed down to Galicier yesterday to pick up a couple of CNY cookies as gifts for the folks. And while I was busy chatting with one of the aunties who was enthusiastically promoting their CNY selections and shoving samples to me to try, the husband was quietly capturing photos of the […]
I actually thought I had already blogged about Senso Ristorante earlier but I’ve only just realised that these pictures have been sitting in my backlog. And I forgot all about them until my friend, Pinky mentioned to me about her unpleasant dining experience there with her boyfriend so this post might come a little belated but […]
The last stop of our food factory outlet shopping tour ended at CS Tay which is a manufacturer and distributor of frozen foods in Singapore. I’m sure some of you might be familiar with Japanese Crispy Chicken (karaage) that comes in original and seaweed flavours. In fact, you can easily find them in supermarkets here […]
I realise I don’t have many veggie dishes in my recipe book even though I’d always cook up greens for dinner. Probably because the cooking styles are more or less the same by using fish sauce, oyster sauce or both and I’m used to plain vegetables with just a little light soy sauce anyway which […]
After spending a frosty hour at Fassler (read Part 1 of this post here) getting our salmon and seafood essentials, godma and I headed further down the road to Foodedge Gourmet where a free food sampling was happening at Melvados. Melvados provides convenient solutions for meals with frozen items like soups, gourmet breads, cooked meats, […]
Latest update (22.12.2014): Fassler’s new retail outlet at Tiong Bahru is now open! Check out my post here. I was unlucky to have torn a ligament on my right foot earlier and my doctor had suggested that I consume more salmon to speed up the healing process hence this spurred my decision to visit the […]
Every time the Prosperity Burger is back, it just means Chinese New Year is round the corner again. And indeed, this year’s CNY comes early in end January. I couldn’t remember if I did try the Prosperity Burger before even though it had existed for quite a number of years but since it looked similar […]
