Has anyone of you ever cooked a dish because it reminded you of your childhood or a very important person in your life? When I was in primary school, I was very fond of eating the fried chicken wings from the Malay stall at the school canteen because they had this hint of curry flavour […]
“Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la, la la la la. China lychees are here finally, Fa la la la la, la la la la.” Ok I’m not celebrating any festive season, lol but I’m just thrilled that my favourite fruit is in season again. Lychee is such a wonderful tropical fruit […]
The final instalment of my Sapphire Princess cruise review trilogy post. If you have missed out on the earlier two parts, here they are: Sapphire Princess Cruise Review (Part 1 of 3) – The Best Holiday Experience Ever Sapphire Princess Cruise Review (Part 2 of 3) – An Endless Supply of Food Before I went […]
While I love a good bratwurst in my English breakfast platter, I equally enjoy it in a pasta dish like this. You’d notice that I didn’t use any additional salt or seasoning in my recipe. The key is in Step 2 when pan-frying the sausage cos’ this is when oil and fat can be rendered […]
I collected my blood test results on Saturday and it’s both good and bad news. Good news is, my thyroid function is perfectly fine. Bad news is, as I do not have a thyroid disorder, it just means the lump on my neck is an unknown growth. Whether it’s benign or malignant, I’ll only know […]

We arrived in Penang on the 2nd day of our cruise and since it was only for a couple of […]
Sundays are usually my no-cook days and sometimes we would just buy a ready-made rotisserie chicken from the supermarket. While such rotisserie chickens are generally inexpensive, tasty (might contain MSG too) with meat that just fall off the bones easily, I do find them rather greasy and at times, salty too. I had recently stocked […]
Baked potato. Mashed potato. Corn on the cob. French fries. Onion rings. Salad greens. Coleslaw. Pasta salad. Steamed vegetables. Mashed cauliflower. Blah blah blah. I’m running out of ideas to create sides for my mains. So when the husband asked me if cannellini beans could be roasted in the oven, I thought it was just […]
One reason why I love Japanese food is because of its multifaceted nature. Think sushi, sashimi, donburi, ramen, shabu shabu, teppanyaki – and the list goes on. I think I can live very well in Japan should I move there one day, lol. Yakitori (or chicken grilled on skewer) is something that I snack on […]
