BAKE – Best Cheese Tarts Ever!

I know, I know…I’m a little slow on this whole Japanese baked cheese tart craze that swept over Singapore earlier. The thing is…I hate crowds and I hate to queue. So whenever I saw the long lines for BAKE Cheese Tart at either Ion Orchard or at Jurong Westgate, I avoid and just carry on....

Basic Kombucha Workshop

I’ll be conducting a Basic Kombucha Workshop in January because I’ve found it really fun throughout my brewing journey and I’d like to share it with others! What is kombucha?
