The moment I set my eyes on the Napoleon a few years ago, Rive Gauche (pronounced as ‘Reeve Go-sshh’ in French) has become my go-to patisserie for this French classic mille-feuille pastry. It has never failed me to date whenever I need that occasional sweet treat to reward myself. French puff pastry with soft, moist […]
It’s the time of the year to start planning your Christmas wishlist as well as to send cards to family and friends from near and far. Just as I was consolidating addresses and sorting out Christmas cards earlier, I found this table of festive postage rates from Singpost which I’m sure will come in handy […]
No eggs and no butter used in muffin baking? Yes, this was what happened when I ran out of both essential ingredients and my hands were just itching to bake up something despite that. I thought these eggless & butterless chocolate muffins would be a flop but they turned out perfectly fine. Probably not as […]
Update: This restaurant is no longer in operation. I can’t believe I took so long to blog about Todai even though I’ve been here like four times.

Nostalgic stuffs really draw my attention these days, so does this quaint looking coffee shop with its traditional signboard. I was at Kandahar Street as I wanted to buy some swiss rolls from the […]
I should really name these Hawaiian muffins, just like the Hawaiian pizza that we are all so familiar with. For a change, I’m finally making savoury muffins instead of sweet ones. And with the ingredients of cheese, ham and pineapples, this just resembles a pizza in a muffin. I made so many of them, I had […]
Quality Hotel is one of my favourite places to get my porridge supper fix. Whenever we have a late lunch, we tend to skip dinner and head to here to have porridge instead. I have been here like countless times, I can’t believe I haven’t even blogged about it yet! You may be wondering who […]
