Whipping up dinner for my dear friends – Camemberu, Derrick, Hungry Cow, Keropokman and Momo – was something I truly enjoyed (and something I’d gladly do again), but the next day, I was totally pooped. Hey, what a great excuse to hang up the apron and call for pizza!
Actually, I’d also been wanting to try [...]

This was a quick lunch from last Saturday. I was attending a workshop nearby, and at lunchtime, the entire class of 12 plus our trainer trooped down to the nearest eatery to fill our bellies.
Turns out this random pick was pretty good. The ayam lemak putih – a very mild and coconutty chicken curry – [...]

Time: 1pm.
Weather: Cold, rainy, miserably grey.
State of tummy: Totally empty, furiously growling (due to skipping breakfast).
Prescription: Nasi padang.
To start with, nasi (rice) with the prerequisite veggie and must-order-at-every-nasi-padang-meal bergedil. No earth-shattering moment here. Just your classic fried potato ball done the way it should be.

After a fun-filled Sony Alpha DSLR outdoor workshop at Kampong Glam, the empty tummies were growling to be filled. So off we headed to the nearby Hajah Maimunah for a yummy nasi padang lunch.
I was surprised to see that Hjh Maimunah now has a cleaner, more contemporary look with new countertops, furniture, re-tiled walls and [...]

I’m gonna be brutally harsh and declare that I’m never coming back to this place. Ditto the hubby who has even more brutal things to say, but this is a family-friendly blog so let’s just leave it as that.
Actually, we enjoyed the food. The fish curry gravy was a delightful blend of spicy, sweet, savory, [...]

Being susceptible to sore throats, I try to cut down on hot, heavily-spiced, and deep-fried foods. Living in a land where delicious spicy dishes are in abundance, it takes a ton of effort to exercise self-restraint.
Imagine being in Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory, and being surrounded by all that fabulous candy, but able to have only [...]

After repeatedly hearing me gush over Spize’s murtabak, hubby R couldn’t resist anymore and told ordered me to take him there. He decided to try the murtabak with mutton filling instead of the chicken.

Located along the same row of shops as the famous Boon Tong Kee (River Valley branch), I must have passed by Spize The Makan Place, a casual Indian Muslim eatery, many times without a chance to eat there. Yesterday evening, the planets were in alignment. Spize’s extensive menu includes Indian pratas, Malay satay and nasi [...]

Gosh, it’s been a year since we last ordered in pizza! Firstly, we’re not big fans of pizza. Secondly, delivery pizza in Singapore isn’t that fantastic. It’s relatively expensive too, especially when I can have a $3.00 take-out meal of chicken rice just a 5-minute walk away.
But, there are days when one is too lazy [...]
