My favorite time of the year is here! Yes, Ramadan has officially started.
Some of you might be wondering, why do Muslims fast during Ramadan?
During Ramadan, we Muslims would fast from dawn till dusk. This month is all about strengthening one’s faith, thinking of those less fortunate than us, and refraining from food and beverage during the daytime for a month.…
The dream - To create a full 6-course dinner with desserts on Valentine's Day
Reality - After work, all you are capable of is to order a pizza or dine out.
Has this ever happened to you? You do not have time for all the frills on Valentine's Day yet you want 14th of February to be slightly special?
What about breakfast in bed?…
Happy New Year people! So what is your resolution for this year? I can't believe it has been a year since I made a list of my resolutions. Most of them...erm didn't work out that well (Read: Failed), so I am really thinking as to whether I should even bother rewriting this new year resolutions. I do have a few…
I was speaking to a friend today and she was panicking as to how she had not finalized the menu for Thanksgiving as yet.
Am I the only one who plans a menu two months ahead of time? I subconsciously planned my Eid menu a month before Ramadan. Let’s not even talk about Christmas. I began thinking of the Christmas menu…
I don’t mean to brag, but I just ate a slice of this delicious cheesecake for dinner. Was it 2 slices? I can't remember now. I am having a cheesecake brain attack.

It is already Thursday here in Singapore and I am so eagerly…

If there is one thing I love about Singapore, it has to be the multi-cultural environment that we live in. I love the vast festivals that we get to celebrate and the cultures/practices that we get to observe. Many a times, despite not being in the same ethnic group, we get to celebrate different festivals as friends would usually invite…
A friend was saying, "I didn't see any Skinny Recipe on your blog yesterday." I don't know as to whether I should be sorry that I could not write a Skinny Mondays blog post or should I be glad that someone actually noticed.
I didn't get to update the blog as I spent 4 days at my second brother's house. It…
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and Muslims worldwide would engage in fasting from dawn to sunset. I often get non Muslims asking me as to what we can actually eat or drink during the fast. I do know that there are certain religions that allow light food to be taken during a fast. Personally I am…
During Eid, I always get a lot of guests asking me as to how I get the nice crunch on my cookies. There is always a debate going on in my mind as to what are the actual steps that I take to ensure that my cookies are crisp and remain crisp. This is the reason as to why I…
