Recently, I’ve written a blog post about the differences between Singapore-style and German-style breakfast eggs. While I was doing my research on kaya toast and eggs, I was amazed by the heavenly combination of taste when the kaya toast comes together with kaya, butter and eggs. I found the simplicity of ingredients and flavours so beautiful. And because kaya toast is so readily available in Singapore, we as Singaporeans sometimes forget how delicious this Singaporean (or Malaysian) breakfast item could taste. It’s A Heavenly Combo The three main components to this simple yet perfect breakfast set is the kaya toast, half-boiled eggs and coffee (or Kopi, as Singaporeans would lovingly…

Singapore-style Eggs VS German-style Eggs
During one of the media events which I’ve attended, I met a German friend, Heinrich, who works at the German Embassy in Singapore. (It’s also one of the reasons why I enjoy attending such events which allows me to meet people from all walks of life). So during our conversations, he revealed that he had always wanted to do a video to showcase the differences between German-style breakfast eggs and Singapore-style breakfast eggs. At the back of my mind, I was thinking, why eggs? How much can breakfast eggs differ across these two countries? It turns out to be very different indeed. After much discussion, we decided to collaborate and…

Alfero Gelato’s Christmas Sorbet
Creamy Sorbets You may have tried a fruit sorbet, but have you tried a chocolate or hazelnut sorbet before? This Christmas, Alfero Gelato has created two Christmas sorbets – Dark Chocolate and Hazelnut which had my mind blown. I’ve always thought that sorbets are made with fruits and sweetened water. They often have that icy-like texture. It has never crossed my mind that ingredients like chocolate and hazelnut could also be used to make sorbets. Without milk and eggs, how is it possible that to make sorbets that look no different from ice cream? It turns out that making chocolate and hazelnut sorbets aren’t exactly new in the realm of frozen desserts.…

Getting Fitter and Healthier in 2018!
It’s been quite a while since I have done the BodyBoss workout using their Ultimate Body Fitness Guide which is a 12-Week Step-By-Step Fitness Program that includes fun and challenging high-intensity workouts. After trying out for a month or so, I got caught up with work. (You can read my previous post here.) At the same time, I also joined my partner to try out the latest fitness classes just to switch things up. Since then, I’ve been doing some running and occasional circuits. I’ve wanted to start BodyBoss all over again, and I guess it made easier for me to start the ball rolling as they have just released a Superfood Nutrition…

Bunny Bakery: Artisan Vegan Bakes
Bunny Bakery takes vegan bakes to a whole new level with their artisan vegan bakes which are made with no dairy, refined sugar, artificial colouring or preservatives. Their healthy vegan bakes are all handmade using quality ingredients. Most important of all, there are delicious – even without eggs or milk in it! I guess that’s the beauty about vegan treats where healthier alternatives are used in place of the traditional baking ingredients. And brownies without eggs or milk actually tasted the same or even better than those regular brownies made with eggs! I got to try some of the Bunny Bakery’s mouth-watering vegan treats like their chocolate chip cookies, flourless…

Matcha.Blue and Matcha.Pink : Natural Blue and Pink Food Colourings
While I hadn’t been posting recipes on my blog for a really long time, I still have been working in the kitchen and making smoothie bowls. I get most of my inspirations from Instagram where there’s a growing number of accounts that features mainly vegan food which includes smoothie bowls and nice-creams. Recently, there has been a trend of blue smoothie bowls using blue natural food dyes extracted from Blue Pea Flower (Butterfly Pea Flower) or this blue spirulina called Blue Majik. You could basically get any colour you want from fruits and vegetables but the colour, blue, is really hard to obtain unless you turn to artificial food dyes.…

Wild Butter Co. – 3 Healthy Ways Enjoy Peanut Butter
Peanut butter? That was so yesterday. Today, Wild Butter Co. takes you to the wild side with their gourmet peanut butter which is freshly churned with olive oil. For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been toying around with their peanut butter to see how I can have fun with it and at the same time discover new ways of savouring these nut butter. Previously, I’ve tried their Almond Maple Cinnamon, Early Grey Peanut and Matcha Peanut. I’ve narrowed down to one favourite – Matcha Peanut. Read about my previous blog post on Wild Butter Co. here. Since the Matcha Peanut was so divine, I had requested for another bottle and tried out the other two types of…
