I was just stoked to discover another hidden gem in Singapore on Sembawang Road this time. Was invited to a food tasting at this newly opened restaurant that is located a stone’s throw away from Springleaf where the popular prata place and Ampang yong tau foo are. I just love that absolutely tranquil surrounding. It […]
Update (Feb 2019): Zaolek Lok Lok has relocated to 605B MacPherson Road, #03-08, Singapore 368241. This food tasting/review was done at their old location at Paya Lebar Kovan Community Club. I had previously lamented the lack of lok lok eateries in Singapore but after having stumbled upon Malaysia Local Delights @ Tanjong Katong Road two years […]
Just back from a long holiday and I’m now down with tonsillitis coupled with a persistent high fever. ? But it doesn’t stop me from sharing a piece of good news. Not long ago, I was approached by Marshall Cavendish with regards to this festive baking recipe book entitled Bake & Celebrate: Cookies and Treats […]

The first place that comes to my mind when I think of good ang ku kueh (‘red tortoise cake’, a round or oval shaped Chinese-style pastry made of glutinous rice flour skin with a sweet filling) is actually not anywhere in Singapore but Season Bakery in Johor Bahru. My mum loves their ang ku kueh a […]
Doesn’t this look like the yu sheng we normally have during Chinese New Year? Yep, I definitely got my inspiration from there. In fact, this salad can also qualify as the chicken version of yu sheng as it makes a really good alternative for those of you who don’t like raw fish. It is also […]
I love anything salted egg and I can never resist crispy fish skins too. So whenever I spot salted egg fish skins for sale, it’s impossible that I will give it a miss. One of my all-time favourite brands is the Dangerously Addictive Irvins Salted Egg Fish Skins that I had highly raved about some […]
Bought a huge pineapple to make Pineapple Chicken earlier but wasn’t able to use all up so I made a pineapple salsa with the leftovers as a side dish to go with my baked salmon lunch. Flavours worked perfectly in this dish. While the honey baked salmon tasted more on the sweet side, the tangy […]
