When I was little, I often followed my father to his favourite coffee stall for breakfast on Sundays and I remembered how he’d pour the coffee onto the saucer just so it could cool off quicker and I could drink with the spoon. I never forgotten his favourite was kopi-o siu dai (coffee black with […]
A rich and creamy cheese sauce cascading down a mountain of tender, juicy sliced beef is such a tantalising sight and that’s exactly what makes a cheesesteak sandwich look so scrumptiously mouth-watering. It’s also not difficult to make it. I have a big bag of cheddar cheese in the freezer waiting to be used up so when the […]
[Updated Dec 2014: Spanish Doughnuts is now closed.] Churros, my greatest love and they always have been since I had my first bite of it while in the US many many years ago. I don’t remember having (or even seeing) any churros when I was in Barcelona with K (which is kinda weird when it’s […]
I had some leftover panko breadcrumbs from the tonkatsu I made earlier which I thought would be a waste if I threw them away so I decided to make some onion rings with them. I don’t normally use panko for onion rings (click here for my usual onion rings recipe) but there’s always a first […]

I was chit-chatting with the yong tau foo stall owner at the wet market near my home couple of days ago who told me the new tenant 2 units away would be selling chilled and frozen vegetarian food products. Yay! I’m already looking forward […]
When that terrible haze struck Singapore last year, I had been constantly stocking up my pantry with green beans, barley and chrysanthemum that are known for their ‘cooling’ properties as the older folks always reminded us to consume them so we could achieve a yin-yang balance in the body and minimise our chances of falling ill especially […]
Since my last shopping trip at Woodlands Terrace (read my earlier blog post Food Factory Outlet Shopping at Woodlands Terrace: Fassler Gourmet and Zac Meat & Poultry) where I also bought some spices and rubs from Zac Meat & Poultry, I had intended to come back again for its meats as I recalled the prices of […]
I was first introduced to Hock Lam Beef @ Far East Square by a colleague some years back when I was working at Raffles Place area then. Their beef noodles was one of the better ones in Singapore that I’d tried so when the husband told me he wanted to have beef noodles, this place […]
