It was 8 o’clock in the evening and the husband and I were roaming everywhere in Raffles City, undecided on where to have our dinner till we chanced upon Buffet Town that was bustling with life (and noise) inside. A peep into the restaurant through the glass window, I saw piles of chilled crayfish, oysters […]
It looks exactly like our usual mashed potatoes but it’s definitely lighter than carbs-packed spuds. Texture wise, this mashed cauliflower has that same creamy consistency that just melts in the mouth. You can just season it like the way you normally do for mashed potatoes. I like mine with sour cream and mayonnaise. What about you? 🙂 Healthy Mashed Cauliflower […]
If you could have the best of both worlds, what would it be? How about a croissant-cum-doughnut? Or a Crodo? This unique pastry first came to light in the US this year and is famously known as the ‘Cronut’ whose name has been trademarked by its original creator, Dominique Ansel Bakery, both in the US and worldwide.

Annyeong-haseyo! 안녕하세요 (“Hello” in Korean) I have such a food fetish for anything Korean these days that I actually tried whipping up 5 consecutive days of Korean dishes for lunch just by using gochujang (Korean chilli paste), chicken or pork, vegetables, kimchi and rice or vermicelli.

Heaven and Earth’s Ayataka Japanese Green Tea is my latest fad since it was launched in August. I’ve always been a big fan of Heaven and Earth’s Jasmine Green Tea but am always concerned of the sugar content when I drink too much of it. Now with the new Ayataka green tea that is sugar-free […]
The final instalment of my What to buy from South Korea? series. Click here for Part 1 and Part 2. Husband’s brother and sister-in-law had highly recommended him to buy cheesecake from Paris Baguette, one of the top bakery chains in Korea. So he got the cake as well as a few other items from the outlet […]
