If I ever come face to face with a live Alaskan King crab, I think I’d totally freak. Can you imagine how ginormous those creatures are? Also if you’ve seen an episode of the Deadliest Catch, you’d know how dangerous Alaskan crab fishing can be. So for the longest time, I avoided going near […]
Sitting in a busy, noisy and humid hawker centre in Singapore, sweating buckets while licking sweet, spicy, sticky chilli crab sauce off my fingers. That happened – but only in my memories, as I braced against the frigid morning air looking for mud crabs at South Melbourne market a few weeks ago. I had a […]
I have a new love. Market love that is. South Melbourne market may be smaller than the infamous Victoria Market in the CBD, but it certainly has my vote when it comes to quality of fresh food and healthy sanity levels. Unlike Victoria market where the vendors are yelling out bargains and the shoppers are […]
There are days when the hours seem to slip by so quickly and stealthily and soon enough the sun’s setting and it’s time for dinner and oh my gosh, I haven’t prepared anything yet! Yes, yes – this is even when jobless me is at home all day fiddling around. You see, if I’m actually […]
Some people are able to run their lives like well-oiled machines – stable, unchanging. Some people rock it with crazy happenings everyday and live by the motto of “go get ’em or else”…For me, I feel like I’m just unsettled – not simple, not rocking it either. Probably due to the fact that we moved […]
My hubby says that all Singaporeans have an obsession with pepper. He had noticed this to be true at a dinner with my family back in Singapore when we were there in May this year. We were all enjoying a delicious dinner at a famous chinese (hokkien cuisine) restaurant called Beng Hiang and they had […]
Here’s my second instalment of the 365 Challenge. Prawn curry’s on the menu. I’ve cooked prawn curry before but they were mostly southeast asian style – mostly with a slight tang from assam (tamarind), or more of a sweet chilli prawn rather than an actual curry. The ingredients from this recipe is pretty stock standard. […]
My wonderful man and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary last month. Having just settled back in Oz, with our stuff still in transit, with my future in the working world still in limbo and with our savings dwindling a little – we thought a quiet little home-made celebration was in order. There’s nothing better […]
I’m off to Singapore and Vietnam tomorrow for two weeks of food and festivities. It’d be my first time visiting Vietnam and I’m looking forward to it. Most of the time will be spent celebrating the union of my brother-in-law and his future wife, but trust me, I’m definitely going to try and fit in […]
Right, apologies for not posting sooner. I’ve been up to my ears with Project Homecoming. Before any of you think it’s some cool cooking project, it’s not. Hubby and I are finally uprooting (again) and heading back home to Australia. So imagine a small one bedroom flat in London, full of packing boxes and an […]
