I share a special relationship with Yum Cha Restaurant as it’s a place where I had experienced a few first times. The first dim sum buffet I had with the husband. The first meal my husband had with my parents. The first pre-wedding meal between my in-laws and my parents. Time flies but the nostalgic […]
The husband and I often come to this coffeeshop where Astons Express is located and every time we are here dining, we would see people ordering various delectable vegetarian dishes from this particular stall. The frying aroma of their carrot cake and oyster omelette in the air was so tempting too hence we decided to […]
Sodas make excellent braising and stewing sauces for meats especially coke which I like to cook with chicken wings. I happened to have a few cans of ginger ale at home and thought I’d try using it to stew some eye round beef that I bought from the supermarket the other day. Stewed Beef in […]
One thing that I like about Ajisen Gourmet Town @ NEX is that it houses two of its restaurant brands Ajisen Ramen from Kyushu, Botejyu from Osaka as well as one of its own self-developed brands, Aji-Tei (means ‘a restaurant of tastes’) under one roof so customers can get to savour different types of Japanese […]
Tau Cheo (Fermented Soy Beans) Pork Ribs is another of Gran’s signature dishes so every time I make this, it really evokes memories of the good old days.

KPO Cafe Bar is however not named after the post office. It’s located on the junction of Killiney, Penang and Orchard Road, hence the name. A […]
It is really unusual for me to prepare a dish with pig liver as I’m never fond of it since I was young. Just that I cooked bak chor mee (minced meat noodles) a few days ago and had half of a pig liver left and the husband didn’t want me to waste it so […]
From collagen drink, powder, hot pot, make up to skincare, ‘collagenisation’ is now an emerging trend. I used to think only the more senior ladies would require collagen because that’d be when age is shown significantly on the skin. But as I gradually move into my 30s and experience the changes myself, I realise that […]
In my previous post on Paris Baguette, I had mentioned that the cafe offers salads, sandwiches and pad thais to go besides pastries. So when I was at Wisma Atria earlier, I couldn’t resist packing the pad thai home for dinner. The green paper label on top was actually meant for the sandwiches but they […]
