Ever since moving back home 3 months ago, I have hardly spent very much quality time at home. Work has been going at break-neck speed lately, and I have been spending vast amounts of time in the office, such that
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
Peekture: Mom’s Kiam Chye Pork Belly
There has been alot going on lately and I am feeling a little overwhelmed. The weekend didn’t make me feel much better. In fact, I felt pretty lousy today. My back was aching, my head felt woozy and I wanted
Peekture: Verbena In A Glass
Finally, there is countertop space in my bathroom to put a fragrance diffuser. So at a friend’s recommendation, I went out and bought a Loccitane fragrance. I really like the light, citrusy-floral scent as it is not too floral-sweet, or
Peekture: Freaky Clouds In The Frankfurt Skies
This is a photo that I took on the plane of the skies as we approached Frankfurt. Our flight out of Oslo was delayed by an hour because of poor weather conditions in Frankfurt (and as a result, we missed

I love it when my friends invite me to their home for a home-cooked meal. No matter how much a person enjoys cooking or how simple the meal is, it still takes time, effort and a lot of heart to
Peekture: Fullerton Hotel’s Angbao Box
^ Very nice angbao box placed at the reception area of one of the ballrooms in Fullerton Hotel. Courtesy of the hotel. It is very useful! Long time ago, when my friends were tying the knot one by one, I
Peekture: Seafood Bittergourd Soup
My favourite things to eat at any zichar stall. Seafood bittergourd soup with rice and a fried egg on the side. 🙂
Peekture: Lapis Sagu & Kueh Bingka
A friend gave me some lapis sagu (steamed 7-layer rainbow-coloured kueh made with tapioca flour) and kueh bingka (tapioca kueh) from Subway Niche. Sadly, lapis sagu is something that I have disliked since I was a kid, and still do.
Peekture: Omurice, Almost
I am starting to cook again. Over the weekend, I wanted to make omu-rice but my omelette was too small and I couldn’t fold it in half.
