Dim Sum at Tim Ho Wan – Be Prepared For Foodporn
I finally managed to get a dim sum fix at the 1 Michelin-starred Tim Ho Wan at their latest branch located at Aperia, Kallang. The queue really isn’t too bad as it moves quite quickly but of course, if you’re in a smaller group, you’ll get seated a lot faster. This review is based on...

The Salon @ Hotel Fort Canning – Fusion’s The Name Of The Game
A friend brought us out for lunch and he decided to bring us to Hotel Fort Canning because it’s always great to get out of the CBD and to the fringe of it during a work day. Also, he really likes the food at The Salon, so we 4 hopped into his car and went...

Salmon Shioyaki With Miso Eggplant
Spotted salmon heads being sold at Meidi-ya (our go-to place for Japanese products) supermarket and they were only going for S$1.50 for half a head. Being the fish head loving girl that I am, I went on to buy 2 halves and decided to cook it the next day. Shioyaki literally means grilling with salt....

Pasta In A Hurry
I’m a lazy cook. I also like 1 dish meals when I’m eating alone. Less to prepare and clean up. Especially when you’re home with bad cramps. Comfort foods such as soup and rice porridge does take a little longer to prepare and I didn’t have the patience. Since I still have left over Winnie...

Muji Caramel Brownies
I had bought this box of Caramel Brownie mix from Muji in March but haven’t had the chance to bake them till this week. Thank goodness for packaging and to a certain extent, natural preservatives! Anyway, these pre-mix boxes were going at 30% off their usual price of S$12.90 so I figured, why not? Note...

Winnie the Pooh Pasta Tricolore
I couldn’t resist this! Saw this at my supermarket and although I know that it’s gimmicky and it’s really not worth paying more for this (S$5.90), I could not help myself. Btw, there were Disney Cars and *gasp* Disney Princesses versions of this! So, for dinner…I actually ate Winnie the Pooh and friends. Tossed with...
