When a friend from overseas came to town recently, I suggested that we should go visit the Singapore Zoo which claimed to be the ‘World’s Best Rainforest Zoo’. I don’t know about that since I haven’t visited enough zoos to compare but I always have a good impression of our zoo because I like how […]
Peperonata is Italian for stewed bell peppers which makes a great complement to poultry or even seafood dishes. There are probably tons of ways to stew peppers (with white wine, canned tomatoes, etc) but I like mine light and healthy with just fresh chicken stock and sufficient salt and pepper to taste. In this way, […]
One thing about getting store-bought herbs instead of growing your own is that the portion of each packet of herbs is often more than what is enough for a recipe. I mean, we wouldn’t be throwing one big bunch of herbs into one particular dish and totally kill the taste, would we? When I do […]
Bacon-wrapped sausages are one of my favourite party or festive foods because they are so easy to eat, hassle-free to make and are well loved by both young and old. While we could do the same with frankfurters or wieners, nothing beats meaty sausages in natural casings like good old bratwursts because they are so […]

This recipe is like a westernised tomato-based version of an Asian chicken curry. It doesn’t smell as pungent or aromatic as an Indian curry but you get this sweetness from the tomatoes & onions and a little spicy kick from the red chilli. For best results, do use coconut milk or cream just like you would in […]
When I heard that 49 Seats had launched their newest branch at Orchard Central and that it would be open for both lunch and dinner, I was just thrilled because the original outlet at Kreta Ayer Road only operates during dinner & supper and it’s always busy! Count the number of chairs when you’re here […]
I had been craving for a banana french toast since having one at Flock Cafe ages ago and decided I should just make it at home. Needless to say, this is now one of my favourite breakfast recipes 🙂 I must admit, this isn’t healthy fare because of the use of butter but to reduce […]
I bought a few lovely yams from the supermarket and ended up making a yam feast of claypot seafood with yam, yam rice, yam paste dessert and this, lol. I liked the texture and flavour of the crispy yam sticks that really reminded me of the potato sticks snack that I used to eat when […]
