There are a few changes to Saveur’s menu, one of which is that they now have a main course portion for their popular Saveur Pasta! Those pink things are sakura ebi and honestly, I find them relatively tasteless. It’s the chilli oil and sauce that they toss the pasta in that’s delish. I’m most glad that they decided to put the Salmon Confit (S$9.90++) back on the menu! This delicious piece of fish is cooked sous vide and is mostly raw. It comes on top of crisp green apple and is topped with konbu and chives. Yummeh!! I could eat...

Multi-grain Pancakes
I put my dino into action again and this time, I made pancakes! More like hotcakes cos I like them slightly thick. For the batter, my bro bought the 4 grain mix and so, it’s made of the flour of quinoa, rice, flaxseed and wholemeal. It didn’t really look any different from regular pancake mix but I did see flecks of flaxseed. I chose to add in strawberries for one of the cakes and mozzarella cheese for the other. Both were drenched in maple syrup. Perhaps the multi-grain will help to soak up the syrup! Hur hur. Because it’s made...

Grilled Salmon with Roast Potatoes and Hollandaise Sauce
So I had leftover hollandaise sauce from breakfast and because it was so good, I HAD to eat more food with it. The solution? Lunch. I simply grilled 2 small pieces of salmon with a bit of paprika powder, parsley salt, pepper and drizzle of olive oil. In the meanwhile, I also boiled 2 small potatoes, cubed them once they’re cooked and added to the same baking tray as my fish. I drizzled some olive oil and rosemary leaves on them. Grill/bake/roast the salmon and potatoes in an oven until the salmon is done to your liking. I prefer mine...

Egg Benedict With Microwaved Hollandaise Sauce
Yup, you read the title correctly. I made hollandaise sauce with my microwave. No need to slave over a water bath and fear that your sauce will curdle! Perfect hollandaise sauce out from the microwave! Look how perfect it came out! How did I do it?

Spontaneous Watermelon ‘Sangria’
We opened a bottle of wine for dinner tonight and had watermelon after our meal. There was some wine left as well as some watermelon. What do I suggest? Making a sangria of sorts but it’s really just white wine with watermelon cubes. Would’ve tasted better with some orange juice and mint. That’ll really be the taste of summer. Have you made up such spontaneous drinks before?

Spaghetti with Homemade Pesto
Went basil picking with my aunt last Saturday and the weather was so good that I managed to get a tan while picking! Haha. I really enjoy picking herbs and fruit. There’s something quite peaceful, calming and satisfying about picking your own food. The smell from the picked basil was amazing! It permeated the whole kitchen and it was lovely as it is a natural mosquito repellent. Anyway, we picked 2 bags full so for 1 of the bags, my aunt made pesto sauce! It’s so simple that anyone could do it. All she did was blitz the washed basil...

Sinful Cheese Bread Sticks at Arbuckles
Was brought to this place named “Arbuckles” and it’s apparently one of the more famous food joints in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. My aunt had a craving for their cheese bread sticks and with the 3 of us, she ordered the large plate. The above is nothing but cheese and bread sticks. Loads and loads of melted mozzarella cheese. Served with marinara sauce but my cousin also asked for ranch. That’s all we had for lunch. Seriously! I understood why my aunt liked it after a couple of bites. The bread is more like pastry and was buttery and flaky. My...

Massive Slices and Interesting Flavoured Pizza at Polito’s
After the cheese factory, my cousin decided to bring me to Polito’s as it’s another famous food joint in Stevens Point. The decor of the place is quite old school and reminds me of a mix between a diner and a sports bar. There are several photos lining the wall and goodness knows what you’ve got to do to get your photo up there. The slices are massive and they’re proud of it. In fact, Polito’s tagline is “Home of the big slice”. They’ve got very interesting flavours too! Flavours that you’d never think would be on a pizza. On...
