Christmas is my favourite time of the year. I remembered when I was little (probably 5 years old), I found an old Christmas stocking somewhere in the house so I hung it by my bed, hoping for Santa to stop by to fill up my stocking with little surprises. I slept early, told myself not to […]
Six months were gone in a flash since I moved from my old food blog to this new blog. Thank you all who have walked this journey with me, for giving me a listening ear and for giving me the much needed support and encouragement during the rocky moments and of course, thank you to […]
I was delighted to receive a surprise at my doorstep when I came home on Saturday. A cheery bouquet of sunflowers 🙂 The name of this bouquet is called ‘Rooting For You’. Three simple words but it’s exactly what my dear friend wanted to tell me. I knew her years back when we shared both […]
Some of you are probably not new to Sample Store which is one of the largest product sampling (a.k.a. ‘try-vertising’) platforms in Singapore.

I love traditional confectioneries as they have played a pivotal role in shaping the local pastry making scene but yet they remain underrated as modern bakeries are now claiming a bigger share of the market with more innovative, trendy creations. I was first introduced to Tong Heng by my mum many years ago as she […]
Fermented bean curd, sometimes known as the Chinese version of cheese, is a very versatile condiment commonly used to flavour rice, porridge or stir-fries. While I like it as it is with plain porridge, I like to use it to marinate chicken too. If you’re a big fan of fermented bean curd like me, do […]
A fry-up lunch is almost non-existent in my culinary journey to date as I normally prefer to stir-fry, oven-bake or steam. So when a fried chicken craving hit me and I only had pork chops in the freezer, fried pork chops naturally came to mind. And since I was already planning to use (lots of) […]
