Met up with Nic of KHKL and AromaCookery today.For the journalistic post, read AromaCookery's (she has done a good job), read tomorrow's newspaper or watch the news. :-)There was an official launch by Minister of State for Trade and Industry, Mr Lee Yi Shyan. He cooked a plate of char kuey teow. Then there was performances etc...Today, I am eating. Posting up the photos of the real food that I get to eat. We had a stored value card that was loaded with some money to let the guest buy food. It seems that the best ... read more

superfinefeline writes: I like to take a day's leave from work once in a while to relax and to run errands. On 2 such occasions, I found myself at the Baroque-style The Cookie Museum in Esplanade Mall spending a quiet afternoon reading, listening to operatic pop and enjoying a good pot of tea. Incidentally, the Esplanade is referred to by many Singaporeans as "The Durian Building" or "Twin Durians" because of the prickly-looking exterior.The shop produces a wide variety of interesting cookies, which they are eager to let you sample. The good thing about the sample ... read more

kensongs writes: Located in a coffee shop on the void deck of an old housing estate called Beo Crescent is a delicious fried hokkien prawn mee that is little heard of.When I found my way to the coffee shop, I realised that it was full of customers having Yang Zhou Fried Hokkien Mee. Well-fried with a distinctive charred fragrance enhanced by the delightful aroma of pork lard, a plate of fried hokkien mee costs only $3. Enjoy the flavorful noodles with prawns and sotong.Somewhere along the likes of the fried hokkien mee from Changi Road and Geylang Lor 29, Yang Zhou Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee is ... read more

Robyn Eckhardt writes: I'll admit that I'd never heard of pecha kucha before the arts folks at British Council Malaysia invited me to present at the next round, which will be staged at The Annexe Gallery, Central Market Annexe (behind KL's Central Market) next Saturday. Started in Tokyo by an architectural firm, pecha kucha is an antidote to boring, long-winded powerpoint presentations, and it's staged in over a hundred cities around the world. Twenty images (Dave's images, in my case) and just twenty seconds to talk about each image (no cheating - image display is computerized). Yikes! But I think it will be fun and I'm very honored to be presenting with these other folks. July 12, 8-10pm. We'd ... read more

babe_kl writes: **Non-Halal**One of the dishes that my mom made, easy peasy. This recipe is modified from The Best of Patsie Chong - Pregnancy & Confinement recipe book which I've gotten sometime back. Other than confinement dishes, there are a lot of simple but brilliant recipes which one can play around with. Her version of the recipe called for double-boiling these ribs for 2 hours. I've thought of dumping them into the slow cooker for 3 hours but mom said she will try steaming instead. It's really tasty as stated.Steamed Ribs with Tasty Sauce500g spare ... read more

Robyn Eckhardt writes: Steps from the center of Nang Leong Market, a seventy-year-old sundries shop. Kitchenware, shoes and sandals, buckets and mops, hardware, stationery... If you can't find it here, it probably doesn't exist. 'Why would I go to Carrefour or Tesco when a place like this is so close to my home?' our host said to us. Why indeed. 'We have to support our community first,' he added. Khun Montri (above) inherited the shop from his grandmother. Though he welcomed the renovations to the market ('Better than before ... it was very dirty.') they haven't done anything to improve his own business, which he says has suffered terribly over the last ten years. Nevertheless, he's hanging in: ... read more

boo_licious writes: enticing you to order the menu specialsI thought I'll end this week, with Japanese food - a new place I found last weekend. I have been eyeing this particular place for some time, but somehow, due to the lack of parking spaces (it faces SJMC hence parking is always a problem and if there is a function at the Sheraton Hotel nearby, it gets worst!). I finally managed to persuade Splashie Boy to give it a try one night and luckily, we managed to get parking quite easily. superb yakitori from the yakitori houseI have been curious to try this ... read more

keropok man writes: More of the yummy photos. Which one will win the competition?I kinda like the 2nd dish on today's post. Since we don't get to taste it, we have to imagine it.So I imagined the pork ribs, braised under slow charcoal fire, with the fragrance of herby bak kut teh, it would have been fabulous. Then I thought of the yam cakes that mum makes. She puts in it, her children's favourite ingredients. Mushroom, 'hae bee' (dried shrimps), 3 layer marbled pork, with the aroma of 5 spice powder. Half of the above inside the yam cake, the other half as fragrant toppings. Haha. I was thinking of mummy's food instead.Back to the photos. You ... read more
