SPONSORED Disclosure: I have no kitchen. Not yet, and until I have my own, any appliance I bring home needs to be useful, both in my eyes and in the eyes of my in laws. So, you can imagine, I was shaking with excitement (COME TO MAMA!) but trembling in fear when I […]

4 Fingers at Ion Orchard
I was out on an errand one day at Ion Orchard and needed a quick lunch so I dropped the band mates a message on our group chat to asked them if they knew what’s good to eat around there. One of their recommendations was 4Fingers at Ion. They’ve not tried, but they’ve heard good […]
How I like to cook my Japonica rice ( Japanese rice / Sushi rice )
I had a bowl of rice one day and it was warm, fragrant and clean tasting. The grins were distinctly separated but yet they were slightly sticky. I wasn’t hungry at the time I had this bowl of rice but it was so good, I asked for another bowl of plain rice and ate it […]
Outpost 903 Gastrobar
When I get time off, I enjoy going where I can rest my mind and replenish my energy. Eating out is as much about absorbing positive, restful vibes from the atmosphere and refreshing my mind as it is about feeding my body. Last Sunday, I had brunch at Outpost No. 903 Gastrobar, a place drenched […]
Oh my Mala!
The term málà is a combination of two Chinese characters: “numbing” (麻) and “spicy (hot)” (辣), referring to the feeling in the mouth after eating the sauce (more information here). According to a friend of mine, who takes on tour groups sometimes, dishes made with this sauce are typically eaten in cold weather, to rid […]
My Bento Dream
If you follow me on Instagram, you’d know that I’ve been busy in the kitchen making bentos (or almost bentos)! Here are some I’ve put together recently: First “Bento” I’ve made for JoyJoy.

Almonds are a rich source of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, protein, iron, essential fat, Vitamin-E, Vitamin-B and niacin and fresh, […]
ONAKA Restaurant and Wine Bar
I spend a lot of time these days learning about nutritious foods and finding out how I can incorporate them in our diets realistically. I have been surprised to discover that receiving proper nutrition made me feel energised instead of lethargic after meals. The energy I receive feels like clean fuel running through my body. […]
Eating out with a Toddler: Chilis @ Resorts World Sentosa
Labour day was a glorious day. We woke up early (by our standards), dressed up and drove to Sentosa for a bit of fun. I planned to eat at Chilis at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) because I didn’t want three empty, rambling tummies for lunch. The choice was partly from one experience years ago and […]
