I first tasted this wonderful fruit salad at Pizza4P’s in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and was wonderfully surprised at how refreshing but yet creamy and a whole lotta satisfying this salad was! The saltiness from the proscuitto balanced the sweet from the fruits and the burrata was just a lovely cheese to tie it altogether! The mint was also an interesting addition to the whole dish, which made eating the whole thing really delightful. Thus, when I returned to Singapore, I tried to recreate the whole dish but I didn’t have fresh mint so I substituted with fresh basil...

The World’s Strongest Truffle Mooncakes
If you love truffles, you probably have already read my review on the World’s Strongest Truffle Chips, and the local brand has just launched their snowskin mooncakes this mid-autumn festival to tantalise the taste buds of truffle and durian lovers! The brothers who started Aroma Truffle wanted to showcase the versatility of their skills as truffle artisans. Thus, they took their love for truffle a step further by combining the best of two decadent flavours – durian and truffles. But if you want to walk on a ‘safer’ side, there is also a Truffle Chocolate Molten Snowskin mooncake. “The mid-autumn...

Yummy Oat Milk from Finland
I’m not going to attempt to pronounce the brand…LOL…but this is a Finnish Oat Milk that my friend gave me to try. I’ve been consuming a lot more nut milks and non-dairy alternatives as I tend to bloat a lot when I consume too much dairy. 1 cup of tea and a couple of scoops of ice cream are more than enough…anything beyond that will send me to bloat hell. Anyway, back to the main point. Kaslink Aito’s oat milk. I’m quite impressed with this oat milk because it was rich and quite creamy. I’ve tried a couple of other...

Into The World of Truffles with Aroma Truffle
I was invited to the launch of Singapore’s first truffle chips boutique located at Chinatown Point last week and managed to even speak to one of the brothers to find out more about their chips! Let’s get trufflin’! (From left to right) Kayson Chan, Kenny Chan and Jonathan Chan, the co-founders of Aroma Truffle at the launch of their very first boutique at Chinatown Point Aroma Truffle’s hand-cooked truffle chips were launched in late August 2018 and the trio have sold more than 100,000 bags since.

Ume Sake Kit Kat
I used to really love Kit Kat when I was younger but as I grew older, I became more fond of tasting the more “exotic” flavours that the Japanese come up with for Kit Kat. I wonder why Nestle isn’t coming up with other various flavours in the other countries. Hmm… Anyway, I spotted this at Don Don Donki the other day and decided to splurge just to taste it. Do note that there is a plain sake version as well but I like plum wine so I went with this flavour instead. Each box was S$12.90 and contained 9...

The Coconut Club
This blog post has been long overdue and I apologise for not being consistent because I’ve just been so busy these days and I have hardly cooked nor ate anything interesting as I’ve just been ordering in. Oops. Anyway, finally had a get-together with a group of friends to try the hype that is known as The Coconut Club. I’ve heard about them quite some time ago and I was impressed with how the chefs took the simple dish of Nasi Lemak to the next level by ensuring that the coconut cream was hand-squeezed (that’s a lot of work) and only...
