Skinny Pizza With Video

It is often interesting how one gets to know of a new eatery from the most unusual of sources, and Skinny Pizza was a find totally out of the blue from cyberspace.

We understand that Skinny Pizza has been around for some time, and has its first outlet sometime in Suntec, which unfortunately, we haven't been to for ages.

Oven Roasted Beef Short Ribs with Ginger and Capsicum Cuscus

There are Sundays where one just has no idea what to cook, and this weekend was just that kind of Sunday.

There we were, standing in the middle of a supermart at Thomson, thinking of what to whip up for dinner. And then, I turned to Pauline and asked, "Why don't you choose something?"

Jonker's Nyonya Deli - Excellent Chendol With Video

Pauline and I often do our groceries at Thomson Plaza's NTUC, seeing how it is near our home in Bishan.

And I happen to have a good friend who often sends his daughter to classes here and it was him who introduced me to this somewhat new place called Jonker's Nyonya Deli.

Appreciation is in Order - My 40th post

It's amazing what started out as a simple exercise to document my recipes, has turned out to be something much more.

What has transformed from a personal library, has somehow taken a life of its own.

This marks my 40th post, in this food blog that just started a little less than 2 months back in mid August.

Sirloin with Wine Infused Bacon

Sometimes, the best plate is a simple plate, and this is what this dish is, simple to make, but deceptively delicious.

It is classic steak and potatoes, but with a small added twist that can make a whole of difference - bacon.

Founder Bak Kut Teh

In my second of my bak kut teh hunt, we went to Founder at Balestier Road and this has been a favorite of ours for quite some time.

We were there on a Sunday evening and as expected, there was a sizeable queue, which meant you had to wait about 20 mins or so before you could get a table.

Kampong Chicken Rice at Upper Thomson

Our national dish, chicken rice has been well documented and discussed. Countless hours have been spent on debating who and what is the best chicken rice in Singapore.

Here, I will just touch on our own personal rave, which is Kampong Chicken Rice at Upper Thomson.

Kampong chicken differs from conventional chicken in the sense that the chickens are reared as free rein, which tend to result in a more tender and succulent meat, and less fat.

Song Fa Bak Kut Teh

I thought it would be a good time to talk about my favourite bak kut teh in town, although I do have another fav outside of town.

The first one is Songfa which is just located opposite Clarke Quay Central, and has 2 outlets almost next to each other.

The other fav of mine is Founder at Balestier, but I will leave that for another post.
