Sponsored photography post Organic superstore Supernature now features recipes on its website. There are recipes from award-winning chefs, and also by "supercooks" (non-professional cooks, taste-tested by an in-house panel). You can also choose to view recipes by course (main/dessert/side/d rink) or by ingredient. I had the chance to try out the Pasta With Zucchini, Goat's … 
I have a new food hero. She's Margaret Xu Yuan who is possibly Hong Kong's foremost female celebrity chef, and a champion for delicious healthy eating. Margaret used to run an ad agency before becoming a self-taught cook. Her excursions to the villages in New Territories inspired her to rejuvenate Hong Kong cuisine. She fell in love with the stone rice grinder, as well as … 
"Find a job you love and you will never work a day in your life"- yes, I have always been insanely envious of artists working in animation (especially Disney and Pixar). It's a lot of hard work, but the creative satisfaction is matchless. Pixar's movies have always had a leading edge, because they focus first on the story, not the effects. Pixar: 20 Years in Animation shows … 
Sambal petai is a popular Malay/Indonesian side dish, although I can quite happily eat this alone as a main with just rice. Petai or sataw is also nicknamed "stinkbean" for its strong smell, which you can still detect in urine and flatulence (don't ask me about other bodily fluids!) even up to 2 days after consumption. But it's purported to help treat many conditions - … 
The Lunar New Year will be very soon upon us. Have you started tossing your yu sheng? We've done quite a few. Here's one certainly for abundance, with more than 20 ingredients, including Alaskan King Crab, from Palm Beach Seafood at One Fullerton. Palm Beach has got a great location near the Merlion, and of course the million-dollar view of Marina Bay and Esplanade. When … 
Want to take dining to new heights in Singapore? You can, with Premium Sky Dining at the Singapore Flyer. Yes, that's dinner on board the Flyer, complete with full butler service. Hubby and I had a chance to try it out, courtesy of an invitation from Singapore Tourism Board (thank you, Benjamin!), and we enjoyed it very much. It was also our wedding anniversary this month, so … 
Hey folks, how many of you came to Ben & Jerry's Chunk Fest 2009 last Saturday at Marina Barrage? Well, apparently 15,000 people did - almost twice the number who came last year!It was a lovely day. Lots of sunshine, nice and friendly people, picnics, kites in the breezy sky. Grooving to the live music of some of the best local bands! Very relaxing - a perfect day for ice … 
Last month, Moët Hennessy Asia Pacific invited me to Hong Kong for the launch of their iPad app, Flavours Asia, that helps pair wines with Asian food. You can see see screenshots and revie …

We were famished after arriving and checking in to The Luxe Manor. So we had lunch at a nearby cha chan teng - an absolutely perfect way to start our eating journey. Yuen Kee was just a fe … 
I'll confess. I pretty much joined the queue at this stall without knowing whether it was good or not. I don't normally do that, but I had heard something about a good Hokkien mee at Bedok Corner, so I wondered if this stall might be it. The queue wasn't too long, but it was perpetual. Not many stalls here have queues like that, except for Ye Lai Xiang which is just a couple … 
Right. You've seen a lot of food on the cruise posts. You can easily spend almost half the time on board simply trying out the many different things to eat. But will you be bored in between nibbles? Let me try counting the different things you can do on Royal Caribbean's Legend of the Seas. Just off the top of my mind. And at no.1 is... Go rock-climbing on a 9-meter wall! … 
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I am starting 2011 with a pigout post! Singaporeans love their buffets and they love Japanese food. So it's only natural that Japanese buffets are flourishing! It's certainly a great way to try a wide variety of dishes, or to wantonly indulge in your favourite dishes. However, in many cases the buffet becomes a matter of quantity over quality, so choose … 
How cool is it to have Chef Julien Bompard personally teach you some French cooking techniques? It's surreal, and it's awesome. He's both distinguished and affable at the same time, and it's just amazing soaking up pearls of culinary wisdom from this newly knighted chef. Customers of De Dietrich regularly get to see him and other well-known chefs on free weekly cooking … 
Last Friday, I was absolutely thrilled to meet up with my friends Katie and Richard from Hong Kong whom I had lost contact with for almost 20 years! She found me on Facebook. I'm so happy she still remembers me! They have been sweethearts for the longest time - this photo is from 1991, when we last met (it was for school debates). That was my first trip to Hong Kong, and … 
You've heard of the East Coast meepok wars for sure. There's an old thread in Makansutra forum discussing who's who and what happened. But to cut a long confusing story short, 132 Meepok is the original family whose patriarch took a break and passed on the skills and recipes to a protege/godson who ran Jalan Tua Kong Lau Lim. Then the 132 folks started business again. And … 
I love red meat. So I was very happy to hear that Chef Jusman So of Sage The Restaurant has teamed up with Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) to create new recipes using more unusual cuts of beef and lamb. They showcased these dishes at a media tasting, and shared the recipes as well. This Roast Beef Carpaccio above makes fantastic use of beef rump, a cut we don't … 
New Lucky Claypot is probably the most famous and popular claypot offering at Clementi. It's been around for 40 years. This is rice cooked from scratch in the claypot over charcoal fire, so there is a minimum 20-30 minute wait when you order (45 mins or more at peak hours). It's a good idea to call and pre-order if you are going for this. This claypot above (S$20, meant for … 
One of my happiest discoveries from the Fullerton Heritage series of food tastings is Boathouse. This cosy restaurant serves contemporary European cuisine, and is located above Le Saint Julien's at the Fullerton Waterboat House. I hadn't heard much of Boathouse (not to be confused with the Bacchus Boathouse that it took over), and didn't know what to expect. It's really new, … 
Have you always thought that Japanese cuisine should go with sake? Well, you might be pleasantly surprised at how some Italian wines might complement Nihon-ryori just as well, if not even …
