Do you remember vividly what you ate two days ago? I can't either. But I do remember what I had two weeks ago. Best seafood meal for 2009 (and maybe even this century!). Ah this is the stu … 
We're home! Landed back in Singapore late Sunday night, greeted by the rain which, I hear, has been ceaselessly pelting over the weekend. The weather's certainly not good. And I now have a cold. But Hong Kong was fantastic, and I have about 15 posts planned. I can't wait to relive my trip through those 800 photos. Really, there is so much to explore in Hong Kong! A 3D2N … 
I love travelling as much as I do food, but for some reason, I have never been on a cruise before. Fears of being trapped on a vessel and being horribly bored perhaps? But then again, I have never explored what a cruise ship is like. Until the day OMY.sg brought 40 bloggers on board Royal Caribbean's "Legend of the Seas" for a ship tour. I must say it's got my curiosity … 
Homemade char kway teow. Something for you while I work on the 30-odd posts in my backlog... 
De Dietrich is presenting a charity cooking marathon featuring some of the most prominent chefs in Singapore. The Celebrity Chefs Charity Cookathon will benefit the Little Arts Academy (LA … 
For a while, around midyear, we were wondering if 2010 would pass by without an Annual Food Bloggers meal. Thankfully, Ivan volunteered to coordinate one, and he already had in mind the perfect place and food. Michaelangelo's got a new chef who has introduced nouvelle cuisine. The menu looked good, and a nice number of us signed up. The food turned out to be excellent, and … 
Have you tried the orange ciabatta kaya toast at Good Morning Nanyang Cafe? Baked with caramelised orange peel, the ciabatta carries a hint of citrus fragrance that works very well with butter and kaya. It is served lightly toasted, so you have a gently crisp exterior. The ciabatta is so delicately soft, the kaya oozes out with the slightest pressure. Oh yes, I was a messy … 
It's a busy, busy start to the new year. I'm shuttling between unfinished kitchen and hospital (mum-in-law is very ill). But one thing we must never neglect is good food! You lose interest in food, you lose interest in life! Today I'm posting something from last year. An oldie but goodie. The Mango Tree with its coastal Indian cuisine is possibly one of the best restaurants … 
After three successful seasons of "Dolce Vita", David Rocco now has a cookbook out. Cooking and eating is such a big part of the Italian lifestyle, and the book captures that with lots of photos of food and family. David often says, "I'm not a chef, I'm Italian!" and believes cooking should be simple and fun. The book aims for easy-to-learn but authentic and tasty recipes. … 
Unhappiness is a form of self-indulgence. A little abstract, but it is true. You may need to think deep and hard about it, or you may get it immediately (I needed a bit of thought!). A luxurious afternoon tea at the Ritz-Carlton is also a form of self-indulgence, but this one is clear to see. Well, for a spot of indulgence, I quite readily picked the tea. This was not … 
Happy "Valunar" New Year! Valentine and Chinese New Year both fall on the same date this year! I thought I'd bake some heart-shaped pineapple tarts to celebrate both. Anyway, it is my first attempt at making pineapple tarts, and I'm glad I had Ju's very easy recipe to follow. When I read the "buttery, melt-in-your-mouth pastry" description, I knew I had to make these! You … 
I was very happy to see Pu Tien setting up at Parkway Parade. Finally, another Chinese restaurant option besides Crystal Jade! Pu Tien is famously Hing Hwa (one of the less common Chinese dialects), so its offerings are slightly different from the ubiquitous Cantonese/Teochew variants. There's a twist to its wonton soup - it's tangy! The vinegary broth surprised us at first. … 
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 … 
Photo from Omy. Today's the last day for a chance to win a 3D2N trip for two to Hong Kong, courtesy of the HKTB. Hop on over to the website and vote your favourite blogger (anyone will do!) I still have one more post on Hong Kong, which I will publish later today. It's on one of the best meals we've had in Hong Kong, at Margaret Xu's private kitchen Yin Yang. She also gave … 
Happy new year! It's a whole new decade too! What do you want for 2010? A year of giving. Of peace, joy, laughter and learning. Here's wishing everyone lots of things to smile about. We toasted the new year with humble homemade champagne mojitos and said bye-bye to 2009, a year of ups and downs. Kids were sick over the new year but didn't lose their cheer and spirit. … 
Ohsumi is one of the first shabu-shabu specialist restaurants in Singapore. This little place on the third floor of Cuppage Plaza has been drawing Japanese expats and locals in the know. The decor looks like it hasn't changed since they set up nine years ago. It's a bit dingy and run-down but this hasn't deterred people from coming here for the food.They offer various … 
Some of you have asked regarding recipes from the Bosch Cook-off Competition. I've managed to get hold of the recipes and permission to publish them, so here they are! Merry Christmas! But first, let me show you the machine that I believe the winner Fahizal used to make his winning chocolate raisin tart (first photo). It is a MUM 5 all-in-one kitchen machine. It's got … 
The Hungry Cow and I happened to be browsing around TANGS at Vivocity today, and he spotted this. A polar bear shaped ice shaver! Well, actually "White Bear Ice Shaber"...but who cares when it's so cute, right? He then proceeded to matter-of-factly describe how as kids, he and his sister used to have ice shavers (just not in this bear design) and how they ended up having … 
I had earlier thought Society Bar was more for drinking than dining. But a visit there proved me wrong, deliciously wrong. Our third stop in the Fullerton Heritage series turned up some unexpected good eats at this far end of One Fullerton. Of course, there are drinks of all kinds, including a special cocktail for the Lunar New Year. The "Golden Prosperity" (S$16 nett, only … 
Have you ever wished, as a child, for parents who were better? Or a life less boring? Coraline did, and see what happens to unpleasant little children who whinge, complain, and demand both things and attention? Well, they get what they want. But what they want is not what it's cracked up to be...Coraline is the first stop-motion animated feature shot in 3D. It's cold and …
