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 image in this [...]

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.

Split butter roll (from Four Leaves Bakery). Spread interior with butter. Stuff with sliced tomato and shaved honey cured ham. These mini ham & tomato rolls are also [...]

If you’re looking for another place to add on to your list of all-day breakfast, here’s one. This was our brunch on a late Sunday morning.

No, we’re not having their signature kare-pan (curry bun) today. Decided to try out something different from Pullman Bakery this time. At first glance, hubby thought that this was a raisin loaf. But no, those red specks are sweetened whole adzuki beans. The buttery bread is rather sweet, so we simply ate it on its [...]
