Well, my bun was certainly far from achieving that intended effect, but it was ok. I managed to use the egg … [Read more…]
Try this: go to google.com, type SS2 in the search bar and observe the first suggested search entry that appears. That’s right, it is “SS2 Durian”.

Woke up this morning to slightly hazy weather, and i was just thinking we might be spared the haze this year. Most people would remember that the haze experienced last year was particularly bad. Air purifiers fly off the shelves every time the haze comes, as people panic that their health would be affected by PM2.5 particles. Though … [Read more…]

Crazy Chef offers this deal for $23, but if you applied the $3 off $20 MasterCard item coupon (which brings the subtotal down to S$20), and further apply the $3 off $20 MasterCard cart coupon, you pay … [Read more…]
Here we go again, making a trip to JB for Durian. Now is certainly the ripe time to go, with Durian supplies ramping up and prices coming down. In my opinion, the prices are still not that cheap.

You don’t live on this planet if you didn’t notice the latest craze on using salted egg yolk in all kinds of food. Yes, even McDonald’s outed a salted egg yolk chicken burger.
