Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce Recipe

I love our local hawker fare because they are mostly unhealthy (hence tasty) and I must say satay is one of my favourite choices especially when I prefer meat to carbs. In order for me and my husband to enjoy these sinful treats minus the high fat and high cholesterol content, the only way out […]

Creative Guestbook Idea for Wedding – Vintage Chalkboard

Looks familiar? Yes, it is the same picture as the background of this blog which was taken at my wedding reception.

Tau Yu Bak Recipe | Braised Pork in Soy Sauce 豆油肉

Ever since moving to our new home, I’ve been experimenting with recipes and whipping up dishes (probably delivering a few disasters now and then too haha) more than ever. ‘My kitchen’ as what I affectionately call it, is my favourite part of the house where I spend most time in everyday.

Home Renovation Dos and Don’ts
