Mee Goreng Recipe

The thought of mee goreng just makes me salivate. At a whopping 500 calories (at least) per serving with high content of saturated fat and sodium, it’s definitely no heart-friendly hawker fare to enjoy on a daily basis. Good thing is, it’s not difficult to make mee goreng at home. I always find the ones […]

Pho Street @ Westgate

Sometimes the simplest things in life would give the most pleasure. Something as simple and insignificant as a bowl of hot piping beef pho noodles is good enough to comfort the tummy and warm the soul.

Stir Fried Lotus Root Recipe (with French Beans and Fish Cake)

Every time I boil lotus root soup at home, I’d end up with extra lotus root in the fridge because I can never find a small root just nice for 2 persons’ serving so this time I thought of slicing the lotus root up to make a really easy vegetable stir fry with french beans […]

Sunny Korean Cuisine @ West Coast Plaza

Whenever I come to this part of Singapore, it’s always to visit the Nike Factory Store (Level 1, West Coast Plaza) to grab new trainers or sports apparel.

Broccoli Pasta with Spiced Prawns & Ham Recipe

Hooray! I’m delighted to have lost almost 10kg in 2 1/2 months with cardio exercises and strength training. And I’m happily throwing out my old clothes to make way for new ones as they are all 1-2 sizes too big for me now. I must really give credit to the LIVESTRONG calorie tracker app that […]
