Having been to several events on coffee and tea, I thought I know a little thing or two about this ancient beverage more than the average Joe. It turns out that I still have got a lot to learn about tea after talking to tea expert, Rick Pua. He is one of many tea connoisseurs who are willing to share openly about their knowledge on this widely-consumed beverage and the tea industry in general. To promote the health benefits of tea, Rick started a company called W teas that retails whole tea leaves and tea sets. Rick also conducts tea appreciation workshops and courses to educate the public about tea.…

This Baker makes Guilt-free Nutritious Vegan Low-calorie Cakes that are made from beans
A slice of chocolate cake contains typically about 350 calories. The ‘culprit’ is none other than the copious amounts of white flour and sugar that go into the cake batter. And if you layer your cake with some frosting made from butter, that’s another 20 calories with some amount of saturated fat added to that slice of cake on your plate. Okay, breathe. Is there such a thing as a healthy cake? If you asked me, I’m not too particular about my calorie intake. Rather, I am more concern about whether the food I’m eating is nutritionally-dense or not. Isn’t it a waste to consume calorie-laden food which is low…

The Lighthouse Restaurant illuminates Singapore’s fine dining scene
Singapore was once a bustling maritime port where many ships would stopover to trade. In fact, there are a total of 9 lighthouses in Singapore. Can you guess which lighthouse in Singapore has been converted into a restaurant? This restaurant sitting on top of The Fullerton Hotel was once a beacon.

It guided them to the safety of the port in Singapore. But today, it is a fine Italian dining and bar spot where you can enjoy the mesmerising views of Singapore’s skyline. The lighthouse structure…

Recently, my interest in French food was once again stirred up after dining at Taratata Brasserie. This French restaurant will not only make you say ‘C’est très bien’ (which means that’s very good) with regards to its food,…
