I love the Japanese Strawberry Shortcake – it is a popular Christmas and birthday cake in Japan. It is my favourite cake. A confectionary of sponge cake, whipped cream and strawberries. It is so pretty to look at. And because
Making David Lebovitz’s Vanilla Ice-Cream
Eversince we moved back home last June, I have been so tied up with work that I have had neither the energy nor the time to use my brand new kitchen. So I have been over-compensating during the Christmas and
Oslo: Chilling Out At The Oslo Harbour
This was our last day in Oslo. We checked out of the hotel, strolled to the harbour for the last time to admire the view for the last time and hopefully, find some lunch before we had to leave for
Peekture: Rainbow Bread Ice-Cream
Local ice-cream wrapped in a slice of rainbow bread. This has always been one of my favourite things to eat. A couple of days ago, I got home late after a long day’s work and was feeling super hungry. I
Peekture: Banana Crisps Burger
Mashed banana and crisps between burger buns. I thought this “combination”, for want of a better word, sounded and looked absolutely revolting. But strangely, it tasted quite good. The saltiness of the crisps went quite well with the sweetness of
Oslo: Fiskesuppe, Norwegian Fish Stew
Every time I flip open the menu at a restaurant in Oslo, I feel conflicted. Should I choose the mussels, or the oysters, or the fish stew? Due to the excruciatingly expensive prices, I tried not to order more than

Peekture: Pork Chop Noodles
We finally arrived home early this morning from Oslo. I am trying to beat jetlag, so I came home, showered, changed and went to work, making sure that I adjust my body clock back to GMT+8. I have only been
Brunch at Skyve Elementary Bistro
We went to Skyve Elementary Bistro, located in a quaint old school building, for brunch over the weekend. Having been there twice now – once before for dinner, I would say that I like the ambience and surroundings of the
Peekture: Gochu Pajeon
I ate gochu pajeon (or Korean chili pancake) at a Korean restaurant called Todamgol located along Tanjong Pagar Road. It was delicious! The batter was very light and the chili was crunchy. I don’t know why this dish is called
Homemade Beef Rendang
I made beef rendang for dinner today, using a recipe from Mrs Lee’s cookbook. This is the first meal that I made in our new kitchen, and also the first time I made beef rendang. Am happy as punch that
Weekend Trip To Bangkok 2011
I was doing some housekeeping on my notebook and found some photos that I had taken in Bangkok last October. I was there with my colleagues for our annual department weekend getaway. Department trips are usually free-and-easy. There is one
