When the Husband and I went to Hong Kong last December, my dad decided that we needed to visit his favorite Sichuan restaurant. Well, ‘restaurant’ is a bit of a misnomer, concept restaurant is more like it. The thing about this place is that it has a waiting list that is well, long. Its so ...

There’s a funny little thing about being a cyclist in Singapore. Unless you’re as enterprising as my friend was, you really cannot lock your bicycle up anywhere in public or even in the front yard of your own house without it getting stolen, hacked to bits or somehow endangered. Of course, my friend was quite ...

I know, I know AWARE is old news but I’ve been busy with work and I think this is horribly important to get out or I will never sleep. Through the whole nonsense with Josie Lau and her pussycats (Heh, low blow, I know, let a girl have it ok?) attempting to take over AWARE, ...

One of the greatest mysteries of the universe is perhaps how The Husband who hates all things wholegrain and legume managed to look at my Candle Cafe cookbook long enough to fall in love with hummus. Honestly, the dramatic gagging, the holding of his nose everytime I so much as mention vegan food I used to cook set the expectations. So when I showed him my cookbook …

That’s what they’re doing outside now. Someone brought a couple of live chickens and they were killed and plucked. I went out to watch them pull feathers from the stiff, liveless bodies of the chickens. Their legs and necks stuck out stiffly from their bodies. Mmmm, rigor mortis, it can be so yummy in food.I ...

Image from benefitcosmetics.comOn my first trip back to Singapore, I was leafing through a magazine when I came across a piece written about the cosmetics company Benefit. It immediately rang a bell in my head because a while back, I had seen a post on Cheryl’s blog about the Benetint. Benetint utterly fascinated me since ...

Otherwise known as ‘You can never have too much of a good thing’ Omelet. Since my hard disk is in Singapore or Hong Kong, my photos for this entry to 101 Omelets are well, not here. So the words will just have to do until I can find decent Aloo Gobi here and make this ...

According to Tech Crunch, Youtube is cracking down on sexually explicit videos. I’m never quite sure what to make of social media things like youtube regulating itself. After all, isn’t social media about user generated content (Well to a certain extent anyway)? And isn’t it supposed to be the wild, wild west of media? The ...
