At the suggestion of my brother, the parents and I went to Ramen Matsuri for dinner for what my bro feels is “better ramen” than the ones at any typical ramen joint in Singapore. Ramen Matsuri literally means “ramen festival” and this little restaurant along North Canal Road specialises in ‘maze-soba’ which is dry ramen...

More Than Matcha At Nana’s Green Tea
Kinoko Hamburg Steak With Millet Rice After walking and feeling absolutely miserable walking in our hot and humid weather, I hungrily settlled at Nana’s Green Tea at Plaza Singapura for dinner. I had always associated Nana’s with dessert so this time round, I decided to try out their mains. I ordered their Kinoko Hamburg Steak...

Manzoku Really Leaves You Satisfied!
My ex-colleague treated me to lunch as she had missed my farewell lunches back in August. She brought me to this Japanese restaurant named Manzoku, located at Purvis Street. I never knew about this Japanese place as our usual haunt was another Japanese place further up the street! Manzoku means ‘satisfied’ in Japanese and with...

Indian Coconut Butter Chicken with Savoy Coconut Rice
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...

Fried Tofu Topped with Minced Pork and Preserved Vegetables In Special Sauce
Sorry that this photo wasn’t that appetising but trust me when I say that the taste of the food was quite good. This was an experiment because I needed another dish to complete the meal for the 4 of us but we already had quite substantial dishes so this one was just something ‘light’. Into...

Slow Roasted Pork Belly
I was really inspired by this video of Gordon Ramsay’s Slow Roasted Pork Belly that I even asked my mum to buy pork belly when she went to the market last weekend. A few differences from what I cooked and what Ramsay’s recipe required:– instead of fennel, I used pearl onion and ginger– instead of...

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...
