Blueberry Muffins
Made blueberry muffins today using this recipe. I would have preferred them a little less sweet. I like to eat my muffins warm, with a tab of cold butter and coffee.
Chinese Steamed Pumpkin Cake
OH. SO. YUMMY. After resting the pumpkin cake (with heaps of Chinese mushrooms and pork) in the fridge for one night, I took it out this morning, sliced a wedge and pan-fried the slices in a sizzling hot pan till
Culinary Pick-up #001
Mom came over to my place today to hand down some of her recipes – Chinese steamed pumpkin cake and rempah. The problem is that she doesn’t have exact measurements of the ingredients, but arbitrary estimates that she pulls out
Ah Hor Kway Teow Mee

Jeju: MINT Restaurant

November Is Just Around The Corner
My friend took this photo with his iPhone 4. I’m impressed with the quality of the photo – it’s pretty sharp for a phone camera. The few of us had our usual monthly dinner – Korean BBQ at Jangshou –
Banana Cake @ Bollywood
I used to dread going west in the general direction of NTU – Tuas/Jurong West. It is so ULU and there is nothing there to do. Maybe it is age or maybe it is a different perspective that comes with aging
Steamed Bread
Before Gardenia invaded our lives, we bought bread which costs $0.70 a loaf from the local confectionary or sold by an uncle who hawked the same kind of bread in his mini-van. In primary school, I ate two slices of
