I love salads. Love is an understatement because I LOVEEEEEEEEE salads. If there is 1 food that can turn me into a vegetarian, then it has to be a good avocado and fresh mozzarella salad. I don't just eat any salads though. I can never understand as to how people would toss some extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) on some leaves and…

These are a hit in the family and my mom is the biggest fan. Mom is quite selective with her food and there are a few of my "creations" that she really love and would keep asking for repeats. One of the things that is right on top of her list would be these Vietnamese spring rolls.
My first Vietnamese rolls…
The weather has been crazy. It gets so hot that it drains you out at times. I get headaches if the weather is too hot, so i am actually planning to do all my shopping in the evenings/nights during Ramadan. Every night when I lie in my bed, with the air conditioner on, I tell myself that an air conditioner…
When I was in my early teens, every school holidays, I would spend a week at my maternal grandma's house. My late grandma had lost the use of her legs by then.

This is a dish that I saw my aunt cooking when I was about 15 years old and the recipe is stuck in my head till today, mainly because it is such an easy recipe. There are many variations of this dish, but I think my aunt's recipe for Foul medames - Kacang Phool is one the best. Her version is simple…
Sometimes, you don't need to do much to certain ingredients as they just blend in harmoniously with other ingredients. In this case, I am referring to the combined flavors of tomatoes, olive oil and garlic; just like how you get gorgeous bruschetta with the 3 mentioned ingredients.
Recently I joined the Pinterest community and I have started pinning and pinning everything…
I am not a huge fan of chocolate and chocolate based bakes. I mean I can still eat it in small portions but I am not crazy about it. I would choose a strawberry Charlotte over a chocolate mud cake anytime.I would choose fruit tarts over chocolate tarts. And yes, I would definitely go with strawberry or vanilla ice cream…
Hello beautiful readers!
It's the time of the year where Singapore looks a tad prettier. The lights, the glitter and the colors. Not to forget the sales! Don't u just love December? :)
Personally, things are not as flowery right now. This is life I guess. Sometimes it all comes together and sometimes you just kinda lose it all. Funny, just when you…
