Decadent Hamburger with Blue Cheese
So I made this as my New Year’s Eve dinner and I didn’t realise that I haven’t posted the recipe for it! I posted on Instagram and some people were surprised that I made burgers from scratch…but yes, I did. What was my inspiration? Gifts from my bro Well, first off, I need to thank my bro for finally remembering to bring back the cheeses that I want from Australia and he went on to add a jar of caramelised onions! Oh yummmm….now I don’t have to make caramelised onions from scratch (it’s honestly not a lot of work but just...

Masala Chai Rice Pudding with Roasted Grapes
I went to a cooking demo with culinary anthropologist Nithya Laila as supported by Orchard Grapes and I thought that I’d like to share with you Laila’s interesting dessert of Masala Chai Rice Pudding with Roasted Grapes because it is a real fusion of East and West. Plus…it’s just a lot more interesting than your typical cold desserts or even rice pudding, which is very comforting in itself. Ingredients: For the pudding 100g short grain rice 50g hulled mung beans (also known as mung dal in Indian specialty stores) 1 tsp unsalted butter 1 vanilla pod 0.5g saffron, ground 3...

Geek Out on Supergreek
I have never been an ardent fan of Mediterranean cuisine or Greek food. The undoubtedly healthy combination of feta cheese, olive oil, tomatoes, raw salad greens and meaty kebabs simply does not appeal to my senses and taste buds. Especially since my personal palette is far more accustomed and acclimatized to spicy Asian culinary fares. As such, when the opportunity came to review Supergreek, I was admittingly not the least bit enthralled or excited. I imagined that food fussy Singaporeans like myself would much prefer the robust and intense Asian flavours of Thai, Malay, or Indonesia cuisine. However, I was...

If you’re wondering what to order for your company Christmas lunch or just a gathering of family and friends at your place, look no further.

Recently, I found out that their team consists of former chefs of Michelin-starred restaurants! That explains why their food tastes so luxe. For the month of December, the team came up with a delightful Christmas catering menu that has unexpected combinations of fresh ingredients that have been thoughtfully prepared.
