If you’ve bought a pack of fresh cranberries only to realise how awfully sour they are, don’t fret as they won’t go to waste. 🙂 Fresh cranberries make great additions to sweet baked goods as their tartness balances out the sweetness and gives a somewhat refreshing note like this Cranberry Streusel Muffins Recipe. The regular […]
I jumped on the Itacho Sushi bandwagon only less than 2 years ago. Before that, I wouldn’t even consider myself a huge fan of mass-market sushi brands because the quality of food could be (and still are) quite inconsistent at times even though prices were on the rise due to inflation. But so far my previous […]
Kung Pao Chicken. Kung Pao Pork. Kung Pao Prawns. I just love ’em all. I think the kung pao sauce is simply one of the best in Chinese cuisine, imo. It’s spicy, sweet, savoury and nutty – sure to reignite the tastebuds and leave us wanting more. I decided to try something new this time. […]
I was feeling very free after my medical appointment so I decided to journey north-east to check out the new Waterway Point. I totally loved the mall because it was situated in a rather scenic spot of a relatively new residential estate. You would know what I mean as you read on. 🙂 I don’t […]
H recently introduced me to the nasi ambeng (pronounced ‘um-bng’) which she had tried and fell in love with while in Indonesia. It’s a traditional Javanese feast that’s usually eaten during the festivities and consists of rice and assorted meat and vegetable dishes served on a platter or tray meant for sharing between 4-5 persons. […]
Shrimp Fried Rice Quinoa looks just like a regular fried rice. I just love quinoa’s versatility as we can serve it as a side or easily turn it into a one-dish main like this. I had previously made a similar fried quinoa – see Quinoa Fried Rice Recipe (with salmon) so you see how easy […]
Fan Choy (饭菜 in Cantonese) is what I call the ‘dim sum version’ of the char siew rice which is affordably priced (small portion though) and readily available at those stalls selling dim sum and steamed buns at hawker centres or coffeeshops. For my recipe, I chose to use brown rice (it’s healthier than white!) […]
Soup and salad buffet. Again. Well, at least it’s an Italian one this time, haha. I treated the husband and myself to an Italian lunch buffet at Pete’s Place as I had Hyatt Gold Passport points to redeem before they expired very soon. For those of you who haven’t been to Pete’s Place before, when […]
My dearest Mr Guinea Pig has been frequently away from home on business. Sometimes I just feel too lazy to cook for myself. It’s not difficult to grab a takeaway as there are many food choices out there in the hawker centre and coffeeshops in my neighbourhood. But yet, I still don’t know what to eat […]
