Instead of butter, I experimented spreading the bread with mayo today. Hey, it’s nice! I find that butter has a tendency to overpower the pork floss, but mayo seems to go very well with it. I asked Rick if he could spot any difference, but he said no. Maybe he was reading the newspaper, so [...]

This was a quick dinner before catching Alice In Wonderland 3D at Lido Cineplex. Rick and I are both HUGE fans of Imperial Treasure’s roast meats, especially their roast pork. See how beautifully golden the crackling is! It’s evenly crisp and light, just sublime. The char siew is succulent, has good bite, and isn’t too [...]

“Can we have a simple breakfast tomorrow, say plain bread with some kind of spread?” requested hubby yesterday. Heh, I think he’s getting a bit scared of my breakfast experiments. Actually, Rick can happily eat bread for breakfast everyday. But not me! I prefer Asian breakfasts. How shall I convince him that porridge/congee is a [...]

This has been such a long day, starting with this morning. I overslept when I should have woken up earlier to make breakfast as well as a packed lunch for hubby. What followed was a mad rush – cook rice, steam braised duck leg (from Mommy’s Sunday dinner), cut cabbage & carrot, stirfry cabbage & [...]

The only reason I had lunch here today was because Noodle Place has a new head consultant, Chef Chui, who was formerly Executive Chef of the renowned Mak’s Noodles in Hong Kong. Now, I’ve not tried Mak’s Noodles’s famous shrimp wanton noodle before. But having been to Hong Kong a couple of times before, I [...]

Hubby picked out his own brekkie today, and he didn’t like it! The fried bread part was nice – soft and fluffy with a crispy exterior – but the curried potato filling was WAY too spicy. Not a good choice for the first meal of the day. The egg tart came from Mother-in-Law when she [...]

Did you catch the premiere of Cake Boss on Wednesday? I missed it, but saw today’s encore telecast at 12pm. Wow, the three black-and-white bridal cakes that Buddy created for Brides Magazine were simply stunning, especially the intricate, hand-piped one. But my favorite was his own birthday boat cake. It was full of whimsical details [...]
