Not sure what’s with the seafood binging when it comes to celebrating my parents’ birthdays but mum decided to treat Dad to a crab dinner at Dancing Crab. I had previously mentioned this place to them before and how I’ve read good reviews online so my mum has been ever curious. The decor of the...

Mixed Feelings About Wrap & Roll Vietnamese
That, my friends, is my Stir Fried Chicken Pho (S$12.50++) at Wrap & Roll, a Vietnamese restaurant located at Ion Orchard. The above photo was taken by my friend and that’s his Stir Fried Seafood Pho (S$12.50++). I guess…I should keep to being the one taking the photos! LOL. Anyway, both of us have very...

Chef’s Noodles Serves Up Oodles of Interesting
Went to HarbourFront on Sunday to pick my mum up after her trip to Batam and since it was already 7.45pm, we decided to have dinner there.

Dumplings Cooked 2 Ways
As mentioned in my previous post with the recipe on Pork Dumplings, I finally cooked them in 2 ways – fried as pot stickers and boiled, served with a healthy cabbage soup. The top shows the pot sticker version while the bottom shows the boiled version. The parents preferred the fried ones while I enjoyed...

Pork Dumplings (aka Pot Stickers/ Jiao zi)
My best friend made pork dumplings last week, posted it up onto Facebook and made me ‘itchy’ to try my hands at making them. So I did! They don’t look the prettiest and I have to say that the wrapping is really THE most difficult part of this whole dish and if you’re lazy, just...

Fire In The Belly (and more) At Yoogane
Photo credit: Yoogane Singapore I’ve seen the long queues at Yoogane’s Bugis Junction branch and I’ve always wondered what the fuss is all about. All I know is that Yoogane started in Busan, Korea, in 1981 and it specialises in Galbi – grilled meat that has been marinated in the typical ganjang sauce. Deciding to...
