Working Title @ Arab Street

I came across Working Title a long while back but it was only recently when I was shopping around for fabrics at Arab Street that I decided to stop by for a quick brunch. The cafe is located at Shophouse The Social Hostel so it isn’t unusual to see a bunch of backpackers there with maps on hand […]

Hup Lee Cafeteria Fish Bee Hoon @ The Arcade

Those of you working in Raffles Place, you would likely know this unassuming place as one of the better fish soups within the CBD that always had a long queue at lunch time on weekdays. I’m a big fan of fish soup so when my colleague recommended me this stall years ago while I was working in the […]

Ham & Cheese Quesadilla Recipe

What do pizzas, cheese burgers, lasagne, mac & cheese, grilled cheese, cheese steak and nachos fries (oh boy, the list just goes on doesn’t it?) have in common? Yes, they are all CHEESY foods. If I’d name an ingredient which I think would be the world’s best invention, I’d have to say it’s cheese. It’s […]

Kin Kin Chilli Pan Mee 建记辣椒板面 @ MacPherson Road

The husband wanted to go BreadTalk IHQ for some sports apparel warehouse sale so I suggested to walk over to Kin Kin Chilli Pan Mee (nearest MRT is Tai Seng) for lunch beforehand since it was nearby. Just months ago, it’d take 2-3 hours to queue for a bowl of ban mian here. We are really glad the […]

Oven Baked Chicken with Sugar Snap Peas Recipe

Created another new recipe in the kitchen today when I was looking through some of my older recipes and thought I’d make a non-carb version of this Spicy Lemon Garlic Chicken Spaghetti. Off went the pasta and I used a whole pack of crunchy sugar snap peas which I loved. Somehow I just thought garlic, […]

I Am Cafe @ North Bridge Road (off Haji Lane)

If you often head to Bugis especially the Haji Lane area, then you definitely would have come across this busy corner cafe off Haji Lane. I had wanted to try this on previous occasions when I was in the vicinity but I always came at the wrong time and had to give it a miss as […]

Tandoori Chicken Recipe

Today is Diwali (also known as Deepavali, The Festival of Lights) and I just want to wish all my Hindu readers, a very Happy Deepavali! Suddenly felt inspired to share this Tandoori Chicken Recipe when I was meddling with my spice rack in the kitchen earlier. This doesn’t look like your usual red-coloured tandoori chicken? […]

Flourish Pastries @ Tanjong Pagar Plaza

Whenever I go back to UK with the husband, one of the first things I’ll do is to head to Tesco to grab a box of my favourite Fresh Cream & Belgian Chocolate Choux Buns. Those are utterly delicious! When back in Singapore, I often lament the non-existence of a good choux bun in Singapore until a […]

Chinese Style Grilled Chicken Recipe

It is probably easiest to just buy bottled or packet sauces from the supermarket but most of the times, we can actually use some of our cooking essentials to create an equally flavoursome marinate sauce for meats. In this Grilled Chicken Recipe, oyster sauce and honey do the trick so you’d get this slightly sticky coating […]

Fried Rice with Crispy Salmon, Lotus Root & French Beans Recipe

I absolutely adored this fried rice not only because the salmon was crispy but because the salmon imparted a wonderful aroma to the rice without making it taste fishy. The crunch from the lotus root and french beans simply added more textures too. And I chose brown rice over white rice for its high fibre and low-GI properties. An easy […]

Braised Mushrooms & Chicken Noodles (Chic Chor Mee) Recipe

I ditched the minced pork from my Braised Mushrooms Minced Meat Noodles (Bak Chor Mee) Recipe and swapped with chicken breast meat to come up with my version of Chic Chor Mee. Similarly, I did not use any pork lard and since there is only a lean protein of chicken breast, this is definitely an even more healthier […]

Qi Le Boneless Chicken Rice @ Ang Mo Kio Central

The husband and I had probably passed by this S11 food court umpteen times whenever we headed to NTUC Fairprice at AMK Hub for our weekly grocery shopping. Every time, we’d see a long queue at this chicken rice stall but had never given it a try. Recently we were there again and as it was raining […]

Bak Kut Teh Recipe with Seah’s Spices

After my very successful attempt to make Salt-Roasted Chicken with Seah’s Spices prepacked spice mix, I was very eager to try out another one. The husband loves our Singapore’s local version of bak kut teh a lot because of its intense peppery flavour hence I decided to make this for dinner. Normally I’d prefer Malaysia’s version of BKT […]

Issan Thai Food 泰国东北美食 @ Tanjong Pagar Market and Food Centre

After a not-so-satisfying thunder tea rice from Traditional Hakka Rice, my friend and I decided to share a pad thai from Issan Thai Food which had a pretty long queue. Be prepared to wait as it took us at least 20 minutes before it was our turn to order and another 10 minutes for our […]

Traditional Hakka Rice 河婆客家擂茶 @ Tanjong Pagar Plaza Market & Food Centre

I met up with a friend for lunch at Tanjong Pagar Plaza Market & Food Centre and he highly recommended me to try this Traditional Hakka Rice stall that often had long queues on weekdays and would normally sell out even before lunch hour was over. That fantastic? I readily accepted his suggestion even though this was my third thunder […]

The Lawn Cafe – Meat your Greens at this Specialty Grill & Salad Cafe

I was invited to a food tasting over the weekend at The Lawn Cafe @ Biopolis (nearest MRT is Buona Vista) which was located on the first floor of one of the office buildings (Nanos) next to the newer The Metropolis. Being in such an area, I had initially expected The Lawn to be a similar […]
