In the alternate reality, I would be picking fresh herbs from my garden all year round and use them immediately to whip up delicious food. Ah... the smell of fresh herbs lingering in the kitchen must be a wonderful thing to experience. Unfortunately, that shall remain a dream as we live in a high-rise apartment with little to no direct farming space and sunlight. Indoor farming under grow lig...

Lava egg |
After a hard day's work, it's time to reward ourselves. This is sparkling grape juice. Dumped some grapes in cos they needed to be finished as well.
When the weekend flew by and you realise it's Monday already. Pretty much stayed at home over the weekend. Cooking dinner on Saturdays seem to be a norm these days. Tried making lava egg again for the second time in years. Pleased with the consistency of the yolk, but still not happy with the flavour. Lava egg Sunday was spent at home doing the never-ending household chores. After a har...

Time to unwrap my two new pots that got delivered yesterday!
It was a Sunday and I was feeling, well, lazy. Hence I decided to put together a simple breakfast that required little to no effort on my part. Just lay down the ham, crack an egg, and sprinkle some black pepper, mixed herbs and garlic powder. 15 minutes in the oven at 160 degrees and it was ready. Easy. I wouldn't say it tastes fantastic but it's definitely edible. Time to unwrap my two n...

White Pepper Live Alaskan King Crab @ Long Beach Seafood Restaurant
In: crab, seafood 19:32:00 By: WPrior to dinner at Long Beach last week, my impression of the restaurant was mediocre at best. A household name that's been in existence since I was a kid, yes; but somehow we were never enticed to dine there. A meal there last week turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Every dish was very much to our liking. The star of the show was the Classic White Pepper Live Alaskan King Crab....

When it first launched in Singapore, the entire batch of 2,000 packets was sold out within 6 days despite costing twice or even thrice the price of Korean instant noodles. Lately I had the opportunity to try the Young Vinegar flavour, thanks to a frie...
