Was treated to this dish during Vita Coco’s Singapore launch of their coconut oil. This is the Coconut Butter Chicken with Savoy Coconut Rice and it uses both coconut oil and coconut water in the recipe! We had a short cooking demonstration by the chef at The Legends, Hotel Fort Canning, on how this dish...

Pork Chops With Caramelised Onions and Fig
This is my second attempt at a pork chop. I seldom eat or cook pork chop because it’s really difficult to cook it such that it’s pink in the middle but yet cooked. I find it much easier to stew or cook sliced pork because when pork is cooked, there’s a high chance of it...

I was walking around Bugis Junction and I spied my dessert eye on this corner shop at the basement level where they have 2 things that I like – ice cream and tai ‘cake’! Tai cake is a sweet waffle/cake that is normally shaped like a fish and traditionally filled with red bean paste. However,...

Fried Tofu Topped with Minced Pork and Preserved Vegetables In Special Sauce

Smoked Salmon Wrap
With yoga at 1.30pm and waking up at 10am, I needed a substantial brekkie without making me feel like I’m gonna puke. So, I decided to make a simple and quick Smoked Salmon Wrap! For the base, I used the leftover guacamole and then layered some rocket leaves before adding my salmon, which was smoked...

Beef Wrap With Caramelised Onions
I’ve been down with a stomach flu for the past 1 week and so, I wanted something that was a little light, fuss free and easy to prepare. Also, I had an over-ripened avocado. So, I turned the avocado into a very simple guacamole, which provided the creamy base and ‘sauce’ for my wrap. The...

Eat Clean With Chia Seed Pudding & Fresh Fig
After a day of eating rubbish as we were celebrating a friend’s birthday, today’s breakfast has to be all about clean eating. I had already prepared my chia seed pudding (made with coconut water and a bit of honey) previously. So to that, I topped it with a fresh fig and maple syrup. It was...

Trip Down Memory Lane At Jew Kit Restaurant
Look at this charming place with all the old Chinese tobacco and cosmetics advertisements, record player, telephone and even light switches! This place is Jew Kit and it is a chain of restaurants that specialises in Hainanese food. Especially Chicken Rice. Love that their menu comes as ‘The Jew Kit Times’! Moreover, they used this...
