As my cousin was going away to college, my aunt decided to cook as many of his favourite Asian foods and one of them was Satay. It’s essentially grilled skewered meat but what makes it special are 2 things – the seasoning of the meat and the accompanying peanut sauce! My aunt’s peanut sauce doesn’t...

Unadulterated Meat Affair At Shake Shack
Shake Shack started in New York but we were unable to eat there as the queues were so disgustingly long. So, when we spotted this Shake Shack in Chicago with a less insane line, we jumped on the chance to try the famous burgers and hot dog. A lot of New Yorkers claim that Shake...

Fattening Ourselves Up At IHOP
On our ‘road trip’ to the outlet stores in New York, we spied our little yes on IHOP along the highway. Making a detour, we went on our way to brunch at IHOP to load ourselves with the well known pancakes/waffles/crepes. What horrified me at first was the amount of calories stated for EACH dish....

Num Pang Cambodian Sandwich in NYC
My friend and I were crazy enough to walk the whole length of Central Park and by the time we reached the Times Square area, it was 2pm and we had worked up an appetite. For some weird reason, we turned into a corner and the street didn’t look the most touristy but we spotted...

Gluten Free Meal Aboard Singapore Airlines
Leaving on a jet plane to New York for my long awaited holiday! Woohoo!! And as I’ve probably mentioned several times, I’m currently cutting down on my gluten intake due to my endometriosis. Hence, I’m so happy that Singapore Airlines has several meal options to choose from:– vegetarian– gluten free– low carbohydrate (tried it before...
