Pig stomach soup never quite looks enticing, but it is such a bowl of comfort. This is the Teochew style of pig offal soup (I opted out of the other piggy parts - kidney, intestines, lean … 
Let's take a break. A tea break. And what better name for gourmet tea delicacies than Hediard? The French high luxury brand is synonymous with fine foods, confectionery and gifts, but at … 
Have you been to Gifu prefecture in Japan? Well, no matter as Gifu has brought some of its glorious best to Singapore. The "Feel Gifu" campaign (Feb-Mar 2012) highlights the food, culture and travel aspects of the prefecture across several events here. Thanks to Yvonne of Giorgio Ferrari, I got a peek at the Hida Beef Fair trade event yesterday at Pan Pacific Hotel. The … 
Fancy this Oyster in Ice Gelée for lunch? Well, starting today (17 Feb), you can do power lunches at Guy Savoy, as it's now open for lunch every Friday and Saturday. It's one of the sever … 
Surprise, surprise! Shopping is actually good in Manila! During my Resorts World Manila familiarisation trip, they brought us to see three different areas, which I will summarize for you here: 1. GREENHILLS - budget buys. If cheap deals are your thrill, indulge in pasar-malam (night market) style bargain-hunting! This is one of the complexes at Greenhills. Inside, it's … 
Happy Valentine's Day! Having said that, I don't believe in celebrating love only one day in a year. It should happen spontaneously as often as you like. I contributed this pancake recipe to Breathe.sg (the Health Promotion Board's website for the young on healthy living and loving). Go there and see how it's done. These pancakes are inspired by Jim's pancakes. Check out …

This place is so good, I must tell you about it now. Mikuni replaces Inagiku at the Fairmont Singapore and is seriously one of the best Japanese restaurants in Singapore, for me. This is t …

This was the most wonderful part of the familiarisation trip to Resorts World Manila. Getting to stay at the luxurious all-suite Maxims Hotel. We stayed on the Tower side, facing the villas across the pool. I love the bright red hues that greet you in the wide hallway. It's reds and golds, actually. Colours of opulence. The beds and pillows are so nice to sink into, and …

Today we take a look at the Marriott Hotel Manila, which is one of the three hotel properties at Resorts World Manila. The main focus of this hotel is probably business meetings and social events like weddings. The lobby lounge is spacious with several zones marked by the different furnishings. One of the areas is at the far end, near the garden with floor-to-ceiling …

I'm sure by now you've all heard about the new Malaysian Food Street at Resort World Singapore (RWS) which opened last month. Like this lovely video, the place is all done up to evoke nost … 
Resorts World Manila has three hotel properties. You've seen the value hotel, the Remington, at which we stayed two nights. They also showed us the luxurious all-suite Maxims Hotel. Here's our tour of the higher end suites. We got to stay one night at a regular suite, which is also gorgeous, and I will show you the full details in a separate post. First up, the Villas. There … 
Wow, budget airline Cebu Pacific Airways is going long haul next year. The airline will lease up to 8 Airbus A330-300 aircraft capable of 11 hour flights to serve new markets such as Austr … 
Yes, finally. The famous original glazed doughnut. Can't believe it took this long for me to try Krispy Kreme. I never thought it would be in Manila (well, I didn't want to join the queue in Shinjuku years ago). I have to say I understand why people love it. It's amazingly soft and satisfying, as you sink your teeth into it. I like that gorgeous glaze that's so crinkly … 
Are you eating this today? If you have leftover or hardened nian gao (glutinous rice cake), as we often do after Chinese New Year, there's no better way to revive them than giving them a c …
