Sometimes when I feel I have overeaten rich foods and need a detox to make that tummy feel a little less queasy, a healthy vegetable soup is all I need. And such a recipe is so flexible that you can use any cruciferous vegetables that you like such as broccoli or cabbage. I combined cauliflower […]
Update June 2017: This hi-tea buffet is only available on weekends now. Scroll to the bottom for the revised opening hours. One of the perks of not having to work on a weekday is to be able to enjoy a peaceful afternoon high tea, away from the bustling weekend crowd. I had been to Lao […]
If you’ve been to Marché in Singapore, you’d probably have tried their popular rosti, served either plain or with smoked salmon or a sausage of your choice. I’m a big fan of potato rosti and I could never forget the best one I had in Switzerland that came in a frying pan with a really […]
An ex-colleague recommended Tiong Shian years ago and it is still one of the few porridge places that I regularly go to.

This is the 3rd time I’m blogging about Astons though I’ve been there like countless times before as it’s probably the only western food stall that I always come back for its grilled chicken, coleslaw and new potato salad. That’s right. I have the tendency to order the same each time I’m here but this […]
I am so happy with myself for hitting the gym again (after so many years). Since I started my exercise regimen 3 weeks ago, I managed to shed those extra kilos that I had put on during Chinese New Year period. While it is so easy to pile on the pounds, it is just hard […]
