Wow, it's Chef Wan, live in person and bringing you delicious goodies! This is one of the most fun cooking demos ever held at the AFC Studio. Datuk Chef Wan is easily Malaysia's most prominent and entertaining cooking celebrities, and he is also one of the world's most prolific in terms of cooking shows. He has so many series and episodes, you'll likely find him concurrently … 
If you are like me, you never really know what to eat at the Singapore Expo. But I am glad I've found Heath Bistro, which opened about four months ago (July 2011) outside Hall 3. It offers really hearty fare in a casual and cosy environment. If you are ravenous after many hours foraging the sales/exhibitions or just need a cuppa to relax with, this is a great place to check … 
On our final day in Hong Kong, we got to check out two places at The Mira, the hotel where the Singapore Blog Award 2010 winners stayed at (and loved!) last year. I love the Mira for its spacious rooms, designer cool and modern fittings. Lunch was dim sum at two-Michelin starred Cuisine Cuisine on the 4th floor. We were very grateful for the company of Connie Kwok, the … 
Call me traditional, but I feel Hong Kong's charm lies in its old buildings more than its dazzling modernity. I never tire of gazing at the gritty, well-worn facades that must have seen so much history. This is one of my favourite buildings on Nathan Road. I don't know why but I just like it. Many of these look a bit seedy and run-down. In my previous trip, we saw some … 
Once upon a time, many toys bore the markings "Made in Hong Kong"...this was such an epicentre for toy manufacturing. Today, Hong Kong is still no.2 in toy exports worldwide, even though most of the production has shifted to China. Since hubby is into toys, action figures and model kits, we had to see what the shops had to offer. It was a geeky shopping trip. We visited … 
Wong Chi Kei is practically an institution in Macau. The founder learned secrets of noodle-making from a master in Canton in the 1940s, and started his own shops (you can read about its history here). The Hong Kong outpost is right on Wellington Street, just across from Yung Kee. I do like the traditional Chinese-style dark wood decor - kind of inspires a "Wong Fei Hung" … 
Steve Jobs, my favourite visionary, has finally passed away. It still took me by surprise. It was as though I expected just "one more thing" from him in real life as in his famous keynote presentations. But he has left us plenty. Thank you, Steve, for all the magic and inspiration you've brought to our lives. Check out also a lovely set of photos of Steve (and some of … 
What do kids love? Ice cream, cake, chocolate...yum, yum, yum. How about all that in one package? Awesome, right? Haagen-Dazs is giving me an ice cream cake, the 1kg Perfect Gift worth S$80. I have decided to give it out as a special Children's Day gift! Just leave me a comment here, and/or on Facebook (double your chance) on which kid in your life would love that ice cream …
We were all waiting for the iPhone 5. But what Tim Cook announced in his debut presentation yesterday was only an upgrade - the iPhone 4S. I know many feel it's a disappointment, but the iPhone 4S is still pretty solid. Dual-core processor, better camera (optical improvements plus 8 Megapixels and f/2.4 aperture), 1080p (30fps) HD video recording with stabilizer, 200 new …
Expedia Singapore has relaunched with sizzling hot deals! Prices have been stripped down to the bare minimum! Can you guess how much a 4D3N flight and hotel package deal to Bali is? Smiling broadly in the background are (left) Dan Lynn, CEO of AirAsiaExpedia, and (right) Scott Durchslag, President of Expedia Worldwide who today kicked off the launch of the new full service … 
Twelve restaurants have come together for Sweet Charity for the whole of October 2011. Order a signature dessert, and they'll donate S$5 to the NUH Kids Heart Fund, which helps subsidize surgical costs for financially needy kids with congenital heart disease (CHD). I know that condition well because my older daughter Nadine had to undergo open-heart surgery at the age of … 
OK, I'm geeking out again. I rarely see a tablet that excites me enough to look up from my iPad, but the new Sony Tablet S is quite impressive. It packs so many features and custom software in a nice sleek device, it's easily the best Android tablet I've come across so far. What I like: The crisp, clear 9.4" TruBlack display. This reminds you, "It's a Sony" Nice, responsive … 
The legendary Tai Cheong egg tarts. The one that draws queues like this (and I think this is on a less busy day). The one that Chris Patton loves. Well, I have to say I was a bit underwhelmed. Maybe it's due to expectations caused by the hype, or the fact that I ate them cold. I hear they are better when eaten warm, right there on the spot. Guess I should try them … 
We were out scouting the Nathan Road area for breakfast, and chanced upon this endless stream of people going in and out this building. Most of them were leaving with happy faces and belly laughs. So we followed the stream and found that indeed, they were heading to a restaurant. Cheers Restaurant, a two-storey massive banquet hall that was so full, we had to wait (and … 
The Luxe Manor in Hong Kong may be a small boutique hotel, but it sure packs a lot within. Quirky, surreal decor throughout the hotel, dreamy themed suites, a Scandinavian restaurant, a modern fine-dining restaurant called G.E. (Gastronomy Extraordinaire), plus a bar and lounge inspired by the Dada art movement. Dada Bar and Lounge, is super-plush and again, surreal. A lot … 
Jane Thai at Orchard Towers is my new favourite place for authentic spicy Thai fare. The dishes have this rough and ready homemade quality, and yet in my book, they qualify as some of the best Thai food in Singapore. I'm only kicking myself for not coming here earlier. It's been around for 11 years! Stuff here sure is spicy. I'm not kidding. I'm the sort that likes chewing … 
I'm sure most of you would have seen Emmy-award winning Chef Ming Tsai on TV at some point in time, or even Youtube. Fans will be glad to know he's in town to film episodes of "Simply Ming …
