Have you ever eaten mashed avocados but thought they tasted like boiled eggs? Probably that’s why I love avocados a lot, lol. I often substitute mayonnaise or other store-bought sauces with avocados to make this creamy, buttery yet heart-healthy dressing for most of my salads. This is pretty much a high protein & low carb type of salad […]
Whenever I’m at Tiong Bahru, I’d never leave without buying some kueh kueh from my favourite old-school bakery, Galicier. If you’ve been following my blog, you’d probably know I’m one of Galicier’s big-time fans, lol. Their Chinese New Year cookies, nonya kuehs, cakes and pastries – I totally heart them all. Recently, I went again […]
Ceviche (say seh-bee-tcheh) is a dish typically made from fresh raw fish cured in citrus juices like lemon or lime. And because the fish is not cooked with any heat, it is recommended to use only good quality sashimi-standard types of fish when you’re preparing this. I had leftovers of swordfish and octopus which I […]
Like many fellow Teochews, I’ve always liked orh nee (yam paste), braised duck, steamed pomfret, cold crabs as well as hot piping porridge that I never seem to get sick of because there are just so many different choices of ingredients that I can choose from every time I’m at a stall like this. This particular […]
I haven’t been going to the gym for two weeks now just so I can rest and recover from my recent bout of flu. And even though I’ve been eating normally (probably more as I tend to eat a lot when I’m sick, weird I know lol), my weight has more or less remained the same […]
While the husband and I were in the long queue for Mizzy Corner’s nasi lemak, a lady also in the queue recommended us to try Weng Kee’s Ipoh Hor Fun. The husband’s eyes lighted up for a brief moment as he had been a big fan of it since I brought him to try his first […]
The husband and I were at Singapore Expo for some consumer shows and he suggested to take a half hour bus ride all the way to Changi Village for nasi lemak since we were already in that part of Singapore. I readily agreed as I hadn’t been there before plus I’d heard so much about the […]
I used to dislike rosemary when I was in my teens because there was one time when I had a roast lamb leg dinner for Christmas (can’t remember from where), the gamey smell of the meat was nauseating and the overly intense flavour of the rosemary (probably used in excess to cover up that gamey […]
Changi City Point is one of the husband’s favourite malls in Singapore because it has factory outlets of most of his preferred sports brands like Nike and Adidas. These days he shops more than I do and it seems like hanging out in malls is once again a frequent affair for us which I don’t […]
