Raffles Singapore Long Bar Steakhouse - The Tantalising Taste of the Tomahawk Steak

Tomahawk may be the weapon of choice for the Sioux Indians, but in culinary terms, it is one of the most visually spectacular cuts for steak.

Baked Chicken Leg with Tomato Basil Sauce and Purple Potato Mash Recipe

Recently, I seem to be neglecting my recipe features. That is why today, I would like to take the time to share with you something that is easy to do, and rather simple ingredients you can find from your local NTUC supermarket.

The Carvery at Park Hotel Alexandra - A Roast Buffet to Savour!

Buffets are never my thing, until recently. Fullerton has consistently impressed me with both their regular selections as well as their guest chef stints.
