That’s my sweet 6-year-old niece Melissa and 9-month-old daughter Matilda wishing me Happy Birthday! Heh! Their cute faces are the best presents I could ever have! P.S. In case you’re wondering, that’s a mango mousse cake from Four Leaves Bakery. The image in this post was captured with Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V (review unit from Sony [...]

Being a true-blue Teochew who grew up helping Mom to make authentic Teochew kueh, I’m very particular about how it should be. Normally, I prefer the traditional Teochew opaque-white dough skin variety over the Hakka-style translucent dough skin type.

Made a hearty brekkie for hubby today with our new Happy Call Pan (yes, I finally caved in to the craze!). Lightly toasted walnut bread (accompanied by lashings of salted butter), pan-roasted cherry tomatoes, and velvety scrambled egg — all cooked in one pan! A very delish prelude to the weekend!

The owners of Ya Kun Kaya Toast really ought to do more stringent QC checks on their franchisees. We’ve tried various outlets, but none can match up to the original store at Far East Square (which is run by members of the founding family) when it comes to consistency. In this instance, our coffee and [...]

Hello! Long time no see! Some of you have been asking Mommy where we’ve been and if everything’s ok. Well, Mommy had been sick for a while, so that’s why she wasn’t able to update this blog. But she’s ok now! Ooh, guess what? Mommy says there’s some exciting new developments coming along. Please stay [...]

Instead of eating at home for Chinese New Year Eve reunion dinner, Mom-in-law decided to dine out this year. Our celebratory reunion meal was a regular haunt near our home — Savor Rey La Mian Xiao Long Bao Restaurant, an under-rated little diner that serves more than decent north-eastern Chinese cuisine.
