Food has the amazing ability to bring people together. Eating and socializing over meals is our past-time for most Singaporeans in our cosmopolitan and modernize city. Amidst the hearty dining affair that brings about delight and joy in others, people bond with each other through the occasional chatter over food which acts as great conversation…
It’s TGIF! Finally, a well-deserved and precious break at last from work. Sometimes when work leaves you feeling so blue and stressed out, you need a ‘cheat snack’ like LOTTE’s Koala’s March, small bite-sized cookies cookie snacks with sweet flavoured cream filling inside. I use to love eating such cream-filled small cookies when I was…
I’ve always wanted to dine in this British-style tea salon in Singapore called TWG at Marina Bay Sands, The Shoppes but I did not have the chance to do so til last Sunday, where I had tea with Charleen, the food writer of Gninethree. You will never have to fuss about what food or beverage…
Back with another episode (or rather blog post) on healthy organic cafes in Singapore. This time I’m eating raw and clean at The Living Cafe by Balanced Living. And I am going to be back here next month for a nutrition seminar by Dana Heather, the founder of Balanced Living! This nutrition talk is part…
I’m in search for some real good food made with fresh ingredients and my persistence of sticking to organic cafes when meeting friends has brought me to this vegan and healthy-living lifestyle cafe at Clarke Quay.

Presenting to you The Story of Lek Lim Nonya Cake I was warmly greeted by Gavan, who’s the third-generation owner of the Lek Lim Nonya Cake Confectionery shop which has been running since 1987, even before I was borned. This traditionally-built confectionery shop has been here at Bedok North St.4, Blk 84 since 26 years…
Ten weeks of “hardship” and “torture” has gone by really quickly and when everything was finally over, my tutorial group mates and I decided to have a lunch gathering at a Japanese restaurant, Chiso Zaimai,housed at The Central Clarke Quay. This was recommended by one of my tutorial group mates and I must say I…
I was ‘dancing over the hills’ when I spotted a packet of edamame beans at the frozen section in the supermarket. I always thought it was almost impossible to find edamame beans in Singapore but I managed to find it at NTUC FairPrice. Even the beans were from them. Edamame beans is another health food…
After switching to a semi-vegan/flexitarian diet, I started refraining myself from eating sweet and processed food like ice-creams, cookies and cakes. Life without sugar seems miserable for most of us but thank goodness, there are always healthier alternatives out there where we could still indulge without worrying how much sugar in it. These days, whenever…
