Went to the soft launch of Carpenter & Cook, a cafe/ furniture shop started by Shen, Eunice and Phoebe. I happen to know Shen and Phoebe through my bro during my 2.5 mth stay in London in 2009. Check out the blast from the past! Doesn’t the above look like a living room from the...

Food Review – Lao Ban Soya Beancurd
Finally managed to get my hands on the one and only LAO BAN SOYA BEANCURD!! This store is the one that started the whole craze for silky, creamy and smooth soya beancurd that you can slurp with a straw. The fact that it wobbles in the bowl is enough to make you imagine how soft...

My awesome breakfast thanks to a muscle sprain
Haha…kinda long title but it’s true. I normally don’t have time to cook breakfast for myself and end up buying breakfast from places near my office but I loooove scrambled eggs. So, I’ve been given medical leave till Thu because I sprained a muscle that’s next to my ab/ near my left ovary so my...

Restaurant Review – “Yomenya Goemon”
I’m sure most Singaporeans have heard of Pasta de Waraku and probably herald it as the first Japo-spaghetti/pasta restaurant in Singapore. It probably is but it can’t fight with the famous Yomenya Goemon (literally means Western Noodle Store, Goemon). I decided to treat and console myself over the crappy less-than-ideal bonus and pasta has always...

Yes, I do Asian foods
In case you were wondering, yes, I do cook Asian food. 😛 Above is my healthy take on claypot rice. Verdict – too healthy. Haha…there’s something about claypot rice where the oil (lard at most times) just sings to your tastebuds. Anyway, my claypot rice is a simple one-pot affair of rice, dark soy sauce,...

Quick Dinner
I think I’m the most chop-chop cook ever. I’m very lazy and I hate washing up a lot of stuff so I tend to cook everything in a pot/pan/tray. This meal was eaten last Fri and it was another surprisingly quick meal although it’s 2 dishes. Top photo is my bacon wrapped tuna. Can you...

An Eventful Evening
Last night, Mel Li and I decided to participate in Lovestruck’s (an online dating agency) singles’ event at District 10, UE Square. The whole idea to this event was a bit like guerrilla dating where you participate by ordering drinks and asking the wait staff for a red straw. So…you chat up anyone who has...

Meat & Potatoes Kinda Girl
Yup, I can be a meat and potatoes kinda girl too. Now, I got lazy this time round and decided to just roast everything in the oven. Note to self – beef tastes good only when it’s grilled or pan seared. My beef was cooked perfectly medium but…the flavours aren’t sealed in. Hence, grill or...

Pan Seared Tuna with Spaghetti
Yet another day in chef mode! This time round, it’s pan-seared tuna with spaghetti done primavera style. If you notice, I pan-seared the tuna such that it’s still pink in the middle. That’s how I like my tuna…and not the crap that comes in cans. While I was chopping up my garlic, bacon and french...

Stir fried Prawns, Broccoli and Cherry Tomatoes
I’ve been so sick of eating food cooked outside that I decided to do a little cooking of my own. It’s also part of me celebrating the fact that I can eat prawns (shellfish in general) now!!! So, above is a relatively healthy meal of stir fried prawns with bacon, broccoli and cherry tomatoes on...
