I took the day off today, and baked a blueberry cheesecake. It has been ages since I baked anything that is more complicated than blueberry muffins. Okay, aside from pineapple tarts… To me, blueberry cheesecakes are a visually appealing dessert.
Jeju: Mint Restaurant In Phoenix Island
I think I posted a photo of this restaurant some time ago. But I want to post it again, because it is such a pretty glass building. I have seen this restaurant in several Korean dramas. I was charmed by
Esquina: A Spanish Tapas Bar
What did I do on Valentine’s Day? I had a surprisingly scrumptious lunch at Esquina, a casual Spanish tapas bar located at Teck Lim Road (the road perpendicular to Keong Saik Road) with a friend. We were quite fortunate to
Gangneung: Hwedupbap at Gyeongpo
My first pit-stop in Korea was Gyeongpo beach in Gangneung. After I arrived in Gyeongpo in the afternoon and checked into the hotel, I wandered around the Gyeongpo beach-front area, looking for a place amongst the many seafood restaurants for
Peekture: Strawberry Jelly Hearts On Valentine’s Day
I don’t do Valentine’s Day. I cannot even bring myself to use the word ‘celebrate’. All the commercial cheesiness revolving around Valentine’s Day – exorbitantly-priced and frequently ugly flower bouquets, candlelit Valentine’s Day set dinners, men trotting around carrying heart-shaped
Peekture: Osso Bucco
Dinner tonight. Delicious home-made osso bucco by C. Ate it with spaghettini, topped with a fried egg. I am thoroughly spoilt by friends who cook so well, I just leech off them. 🙂 It was a good weekend. Today, I
Peekture: OUAM Milkshakes
Milkshakes from Once Upon A Milkshake. Courtesy of Groupon! I have recently joined the Groupon craze, turning into what some people term as ‘a Groupon aunty’, one who is constantly on the prowl for cheap deals. Â A fellow Groupon-addict friend
Peekture: Gomtang
There is a new Korean eatery near my office which serves soups such as gomtang and soondae gukbap for lunch. I rarely see these soups printed on the menu in the Korean eateries that I usually visit (which isn’t that many
Pintxos & Canapes
Taking advantage of the relatively cool weather, we invited several close friends over for dinner on the second day of Chinese New Year. We wanted to try our friend’s tezukuri tapasu (home-made tapas) or more accurately, pintxos, which he had
Peekture: Khajur Pak
I tried a new food recently. My colleague from India brought us a gift when he came to Singapore for a business trip. He gave us a type of Indian dessert known as Khajur Pak. I am not fond of Indian desserts
Tokyo Getaway: Teppanyaki At Hakushu
Apart from Hakata Tenshin, C recommended that we visit Hakushu, a teppanyaki place, located close to the Shibuya subway station. It was an excellent recommendation, because the food was so good and affordable. TBH and I are not fond of
Pineapple Tarts
Fresh from the oven! The tarts look quite pretty in the photo but the truth is that they didn’t turn out very well this year. Â I didn’t cook the pineapple long enough, so the jam has too much syrup and
Mussels In Wine
The mussels cooked in white wine that our friend made for us on New Year’s Eve were so good, we wanted more the next day. So I went out to the supermarket on New Year’s Day, bought some NZ mussels
