A friend brought us out for lunch and he decided to bring us to Hotel Fort Canning because it’s always great to get out of the CBD and to the fringe of it during a work day. Also, he really likes the food at The Salon, so we 4 hopped into his car and went...

Salmon Shioyaki With Miso Eggplant
Spotted salmon heads being sold at Meidi-ya (our go-to place for Japanese products) supermarket and they were only going for S$1.50 for half a head. Being the fish head loving girl that I am, I went on to buy 2 halves and decided to cook it the next day. Shioyaki literally means grilling with salt....

Pasta In A Hurry
I’m a lazy cook. I also like 1 dish meals when I’m eating alone. Less to prepare and clean up. Especially when you’re home with bad cramps. Comfort foods such as soup and rice porridge does take a little longer to prepare and I didn’t have the patience. Since I still have left over Winnie...

Muji Caramel Brownies
I had bought this box of Caramel Brownie mix from Muji in March but haven’t had the chance to bake them till this week. Thank goodness for packaging and to a certain extent, natural preservatives! Anyway, these pre-mix boxes were going at 30% off their usual price of S$12.90 so I figured, why not? Note...

Winnie the Pooh Pasta Tricolore
I couldn’t resist this! Saw this at my supermarket and although I know that it’s gimmicky and it’s really not worth paying more for this (S$5.90), I could not help myself. Btw, there were Disney Cars and *gasp* Disney Princesses versions of this! So, for dinner…I actually ate Winnie the Pooh and friends. Tossed with...

So, I whipped up this super easy and healthy lunch for myself. Ingredients:1 fish fillet (you can use salmon/dory/snapper)1 serving of soba...

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...

Eggs Benedict with Sauteed Mushrooms and Kale
Decided to cook brunch today as we had some more smoked salmon left (9 slices, to be exact) and I wanted to eat something non-Asian. It’s a full-on brunch which has a poached egg on a slice of wholewheat toast and topped with smoked salmon and homemade Hollandaise sauce. To make it a little healthier...
