I’ve probably been watching too much of Amazing Eats, Man v. Food Nation and Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives on Food Network which is really one of the few channels I’m hooked on these days. The food featured on these shows kind of inspire me to whip up comfort food that helps chase the blues (and […]
If brunch equals to breakfast plus lunch, then high tea should be lunch plus dinner. That is why I adore high teas! And L’Espresso would be my ultimate choice for an ‘elegant teatime pursuit’ that exudes pure indulgence in a modern English, sophisticated setting. The English Afternoon Tea Buffet at L’Espresso is available daily with […]
I wrote this poem in remembrance of a special friendship that wasn’t treasured when we parted ways. The ‘lift and escalator in our houses’ conversation… The ‘lemonade & orange juice’ code names… The cute stray kitten that we looked after… Jack’s Place… Famous Amos’ double chocolate chip with pecan cookies… Thank you for the memories.

Since a colleague greatly recommended me this place, it has become the only spaghetti house I go to now whenever I need a pasta fix. Yomenya Goemon opened its doors in […]
I realised I have written poems for a couple of special people in my life but I’ve never penned one for Grandma. If you’ve read my earlier post about my Grandma, you’d know how much she means to me. I was a lonely child. And only my Grandma held my hand. I really wish I could […]
