This is a highly unauthentic bouillabaisse recipe but it doesn’t matter because whatever you make is your own comfort food. Trying a bouillabaisse in Marseille happens to be on my ’10 food to try before I die’ list, but for now, I can only imagine what it taste like by fantasizing from age old recipes. A good seafood soup requires [...]

This is part 1 of a series of entries I wrote during my trip to Australia and New Zealand, which I couldn’t upload while over there because for some peculiar reasons, my laptop refused all wifi connections. I am now back in Singapore but still very much dreaming about the jaw-dropping landscapes of New Zealand. Part 1: Right this moment, [...]

A very much overdue post, and I apologise but the heat’s been getting to me the last two weeks. Oh and we also recently had an election and I got to vote for the first time, which made me felt slightly powerful for a few minutes. Inspired by the heat, I thought I’d go with the flow and make something [...]

I spent the whole day thinking what I could do with the ingredients I bought in Little India yesterday and came up with this dish. I got home at 8pm and finished cooking 30 minutes later with a very satisfying meal. Mustafa is now my favourite supermarket because they not only have the Turkish yoghurt I found, they also sell [...]

We rarely get perfectly clear blue sky in Singapore so today was a treat and that meant photo opportunity. When I got off the bus, I remembered that clear sky in Singapore also meant a clear rise in temperature. Little India is such a special place because it is unlike the rest of Singapore. Like in Chinatown and Arab Street, [...]

Yes I hardly do reviews but if I do make an effort to write about a place, it’s gonna be good. I went back to Yu Cuisine at Marina Bay Sands today and had the exact same 8 course set as I did last Saturday. It’s not very hard to find decent Chinese food in Singapore but it is an [...]

I think smelt is the most awkward fish to cook and serve. They’re too big to be whitebait but too small to be substantial. They’re full of tiny bones and they smell and taste like the pond. Why did I make this then? Well, I felt like snacking, they were incredible cheap and I just had to challenge myself. Although [...]

What a terribly busy week at work and while I do look forward to being productive, I’m hating that I can’t write as much as I like to. Last week ended with my best mate’s birthday party in the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, known to many as the ship in the air. I call it the crazy hotel. It looks [...]

We have two in the family who suffer from intolerance to chilli so every time I cook for the family, I have to work with everyone’s different needs. I was in a South-East Asian mood and it was really hard trying  to think of something without chilli! The first dish was Indonesian lontong (pressed rice) coated with spices, peanut and [...]

Saturday was an almost raw day and I probably overdosed on vegetables. With $30, I made four salads to feed six people, which worked out to be a really good deal since a bag of salad greens here can go up to $10. I wish we will see more salad bars here since most people are willing to eat good [...]
