One of my favourite healthy dishes is none other than a creamy fruit smoothie bowl. And I prefer to have my smoothie in a bowl so that I can enjoy it with fresh fruit slices and crunchy granola. But making a smoothie can be somewhat of a hassle as you will need to have a…
Singapore: ‘Makan Paradise’ What’s a Singaporean-thing to do during the long National Day weekend? Gather family and friends at the table to ‘makan’. Eating seems to be one of our favourite past times because of our cultural diversity and uniqueness as a Singaporean are found embedded in our food. To get an authentic taste of Singapore,…
Singapore-inspired High Tea During our staycation at Grand Copthorne Hotel, we set aside some time (and tummy space) to try their Singapore-inspired afternoon tea set at Tempo Bar. Considering that it might be a unique experience for those who have yet to try our local delights, we decided that as Singaporeans who grew up eating…
I had some time off on Friday to dine out at the cafe called BLACK&INK, a cafe which is usually brimming with brunch crowds on the weekends, and it can get rather packed. In situations like this, you might want to check out Eatsy. What can Eatsy do for you? Eatsy is a collaborative dining…
Durian Jasmine Tea Singaporeans love durians. This is one generalization I could make with some confidence because very few locals here that I know would actually say no to durians. I am also a huge fan of this unique Asian fruit which might appear pungent to some people. But to us locals, durians are the king…
After visiting BurgerUP Express at Northpoint City, I had the urge to visit their main outlet to try out their customised burgers as well as to check out the other food offerings. I visited their outlet at Punggol Waterway Point which was about an hour MRT ride from where I stay. But I tell you,…
Our Hawker culture has come a long way. Hawker centres here in Singapore are like food courts without air-conditioned, and they are usually run by locals who have inherited their businesses from their parents, generations after generations. As a kid, I grew up eating hawker food, and my Dad would always hunt for the best…
There’s something magical about the seaside where the sea and land meets. You hear the waves and feel the breeze that caressed your face. The smell of the salty sea invigorates you. You might be able to taste the saltiness of the sea water when it crashes against the shore, spritzing a spray of seawater…
Clean eating is all about well-balanced meals made with fresh, wholesome ingredients, without the use of preservatives or artificial flavours. There are indeed several food options around Singapore that offer delicious, healthy meals but they’re more often pricey compared to food served at our local hawker or food court. But does it necessarily have to…
This vegan fast food restaurant is already shifting mindsets of those meat-eaters here in Singapore. Without meat-based burger patties, would burgers actually taste delicious? nomVnom does it in the most exquisite, eco-friendly and cruelty-free manner – using only plant-based ingredients to make their burgers, fries, spaghetti and even ice cream. Welcome to the Vegan World.…
When it comes to our local Hawker food, we would associate it with oily fried food like Char Kuay Teow and Fried Carrot Cake. Sadly, there isn’t any famous hawker food which can we truly label it as ‘healthy’. Nutritionally-speaking, hawker food may not be that wholesome but cultural-wise, it is part of our Singapore…
