Recently I bought a bunch of bananas from the supermarket (some new brand that I hadn’t tried before) and although they had sat on my counter top for days and had turned completely yellow on the outside, the flesh inside was still somewhat dry and firm. If I had a dehydrator, I could probably turn […]

I had unsweetened soy milk in the fridge to use up and since I was planning to cook porridge, thought I would just add the soy milk into it and see how it would turn out. I liked the fragrance of the soy milk in the porridge which also gave extra depth of richness and […]

I remembered having snow fungus soup at Grandma’s house just a few weeks before she passed away in February. My husband had tried it for the first time and I was surprised he actually had several helpings as he didn’t seem interested in Chinese dessert soups previously. I said I would make the same dessert […]

I realise I have been cooking a lot of Korean dishes at home recently. Probably because I’m back into watching Korean dramas and I always see the characters having home cooked meals of rice, soup, kimchi & the like for almost every meal. It is pretty common to eat bibimbap (‘mixed rice’) out of a […]

Cooking with healthier alternatives like reduced fat or fat free yogurt or sour cream almost always result in a split sauce. I used to think that split sauces are cooking disasters until when I watched this food program that showcased good eats in Taiwan. In it, they introduced this Savoury Soy Milk that was served […]

Hubby and I were on the way home in a taxi after paying respects to my late grandmother. We passed by Upper Thomson Road so decided to alight there to grab some brunch. Had seen this prata place for the longest time ever and since we hadn’t tried before, we settled on this. Here’s a […]

Time for some detoxification to ease those guilt from weekend overeating. And one of the best things to have would be a hot Chicken Radish Soup that’s not only tasty but nutritious and ‘cooling’ for the body too. Radish is an affordable root vegetable that has so many health benefits that most of us probably […]

A fiery kick from the chilli flakes combined with the citrusy flavour of the lemon and the sharpness of the garlic makes this dish really refreshing and appetizing. The husband devoured his entire plate in no time and even asked for a second helping. 🙂 I did not specify an amount of chilli flakes to […]

It’s extremely gratifying to bake on a Friday because it’s the day of the week when I’ll always try to clear out the fridge. I can enjoy a sweet treat while saving money ‘cos I need not spend extra to buy tea time snacks and I can reduce food waste too, lol. 😉 Anyway, this […]

Wow, how long had it been since I ate at Outback Steakhouse? At least 10 years probably, lol. I remembered visiting their outlet in Bangkok when I was there on holiday with a colleague. I was planning a birthday meal for D not too long ago and it was quite tough because there were different […]

Chicken katsudon is a Japanese-style fried chicken cutlet rice bowl. Some restaurants like to serve the chicken katsu with a sweet & tangy sauce that’s made with ketchup and Worcestershire sauce but I prefer mine with dashi stock, egg and onions. My husband enjoyed the chicken because the outside was crispy and the inside was […]

I had long heard about Bay Hotel from E & C when they came here for a staycation last year and it had always been on my mind since then to go check this place out. I came across STREET 50‘s (that’s the flagship restaurant of the hotel) Asian Weekend Lunch Buffet on Groupon and […]

Having so much fun baking muffins with different fruits lately. At first I just wanted to make blueberry muffins but since I had some guavas sitting in the fridge, I thought it would be a good idea to add them in just to boost the nutrient level of my sweet bakes. Who says desserts can’t […]

I would say this is a clean-eating recipe as I just want to keep all ingredients fresh and natural including the sauce for the pasta which is basically made of pumpkin puree. Pumpkin itself is quite sweet and I’ve always like adding pumpkin puree into porridge to give it flavour so I don’t have to […]

A new tze char place, Famous JB 101 Firewokz has recently opened for business at WCEGA Tower along Bukit Batok Crescent. I was invited for a food tasting session last week and so I headed to the West to check it out. The location is quite out of the way as WCEGA Tower is only […]
