Salmon & Halibut Fish Cakes Recipe

This is a slightly simplified variation of my Salmon & Sutchi Fish Cakes Recipe. I had bought some frozen premium halibut fillets from Fairprice earlier and thought of combining them with the salmon I already had to make fish cakes. Though I didn’t use any egg as a binding agent here, the ingredients were still able to […]

[CLOSED] Popiah from Nonya Pancake @ AMK Central S11 Food Court

Most of the time, the husband and I only come to this food court for Penang Delights Prawn Mee & Lor Mee (read my review here) which is one of the better ones I’ve tried in Singapore. Just two months ago, we were gallivanting late at night around AMK Central and felt like having something light for […]

Minced Pork with Egg Tofu Recipe

The husband loves eggs as well as anything with eggs so naturally he’d adore egg tofu too. In order to make this an even more eggy-tasting dish, I included a beaten egg into the minced meat mixture for a slightly gooey texture which really complemented the ‘drier’ egg tofu and the rice congee that I cooked. […]

Yoshimaru Ramen Bar @ Lorong Liput, Holland Village

Originating from Hakata, Kyushu, Japan, Yoshimaru Ramen Bar in Singapore is a franchise business managed by the Jumbo Group. The restaurant serves up the famous classic Hakata style Tonkotsu Ramen that is authentically made in the same way as the Japanese does. After the husband had successfully conquered the Yoshimaru Ramen Challenge on Sunday (read about […]

Yoshimaru Ramen Challenge 2014

The night before the challenge… Me: Are you sure you want to do this? Husband: LP, I can do it! Me: But it will be too hot for you! Husband: (very confidently) I can do it! I can finish it in 5 minutes! So on Sunday, we headed down to Yoshimaru Ramen Bar at Holland […]

My recipe in Shape Magazine July 2014 issue

Woohoo! I’m thrilled that Shape Magazine had featured my Cajun Spiced Salmon recipe (page 95) in their latest 10th Anniversary issue. Alternatively, check out my original recipe post here. Research shows that consuming salmon at least twice a week will lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases, prevent depression (benefits the brain!) and delay brain ageing. Truly […]

Black Bean Sauce Chicken & Peppers Recipe

Found this easy stir-fry recipe which makes a good one-dish meal for dinner. Minimal work but very robust flavours. As dried black beans are generally salty, there isn’t a need to season the dish with more salt so just go easy with the light soy sauce in the chicken marinate. Chicken & Peppers with Black Bean […]

Singapore Botanic Gardens – A Walk to Remember

It had been a good 5 years since the husband and I visited the Singapore Botanic Gardens. It just felt invigorating to take a walk through nature that is quite untouched, as opposed to the Gardens by the Bay which is more man-made and commercialised (not that we dislike it but both gardens are way different and impressive in their own individual style). […]

Duke Bakery 面包公爵 @ United Square

I visited Duke Bakery for the first time last month when the husband and I dropped by the Novena area for lunch. As always, I have a soft spot for artisanal breads and even though I know I shouldn’t be consuming so much carbs while trying to lose weight, I just couldn’t resist them. There’s something so […]
