Since my last visit to Ocean Curry Fish Head for its Nyonya-style fish head curry, I had been missing that sour and spicy gravy that was deliciously moreish. Do you know Nyonya-style fish curry is made from assam or tamarind (that’s why it’s tangy) and that there is no addition of coconut milk? It’s what […]
Last Sunday, fellow bloggers and I were invited to a cooking workshop conducted by Chef Ronald Li, head chef of Salt Tapas and Bar, following the launch of their new brunch menu the day before. Chef Ronald did a demo of these two dishes (one savoury and one sweet) from the new brunch menu. Cigar […]
Happy Birthday, Tools of The Trade (ToTT Store)! I was invited to ToTT’s first-ever Carnival Day on Saturday to celebrate its 5th birthday. For those who haven’t been to ToTT, check out my earlier blog post, ToTT Store @ Dunearn Road – A One Stop Shop for Kitchen Supplies. It’s my favourite store to go for […]
I had actually stopped buying stuffs on Qoo10 for a long time because it was just too easy to get hooked onto online shopping. I would tend to overspend and end up buying things that I didn’t really need. Having insufficient space at home to store my white elephants didn’t help and I had to […]
When I first received my bottle of Dynamo Power Gel, I was quite impressed with the product design because it came with a screw cap on top that doubled up as a measuring cup. As such, it was easy to measure out sufficient amounts of the power gel depending on the wash load size (about […]

Or should I call it Japchae-style seafood noodles? I drew inspiration from Japchae (a Korean stir-fry dish of sweet potato noodles or ‘dangmyeon’ and vegetables) and combined it with rice vermicelli (‘bee hoon’) to create this wet seafood bee hoon. It’s my rendition of the famous Sembawang white bee hoon with a Korean touch 😉 […]
Honestly, I cannot remember if I’ve ever had a dessert at Mei Heong Yuen though I’ve passed by the shop countless times whenever I come to Chinatown and it is always busy. Initially I thought MHY only sells the usual traditional desserts like red/green bean soup, yam paste, peanut paste, herbal jelly and the like […]
A recent exploration of the Ang Mo Kio neighbourhood led me to discover this herbal bak kut teh stall just a few bus stops away from my house and then I realised later this was the same BKT brand (main branch is at Marsiling Lane) that fellow foodie friends had recommended me some time back. […]
