Food is obviously one of the most blogged about topics on the internet. I’m sure everyday there are new, young bloggers starting their new blogs on food review. I’m not going to be one of those (though I am young) who focus on reviewing food in overpriced, fancy restaurants. On my blog I aim to share with you about food … [Read more…]
I’m usually not too bothered about rice weevils, except when i see their population explode. This happened to a pack of noodles in my pantry. I will still consume the noodle, except i have to rinse the noodles like twenty times to get rid of the rice weevils (by the way the presence of rice … [Read more…]
Some time ago i bought an electric deep fryer. While it is still relevant, it is more suited to doing deep frying for a small party. You can basically set a reminder and leave it frying on its own while you entertain your guests or do other chores. It is also relatively smokeless. Nevertheless, the … [Read more…]
I’ve been experimenting with indoor or semi indoor grilling methods for a long time. I own an electric smokeless grill, a Korean style gas cartridge BBQ stove, a Japanese stove top fish grill, a vented charcoal pot and now, this Japanese stove top grilling rack. Lets be honest, if you go smokeless, you can’t get … [Read more…]
Leftover Bak Kwa is a major pain every Chinese New Year, I’m sure you can identify with me. Bak Kwa is meant to be eaten by itself, and there’s only so much you can eat before you get sick of it. The main problem with using Bak Kwa in other recipes is that its taste … [Read more…]

In frozen state, it takes much effort to do the slicing, and it will likely be uneven. A tool is imperative. Related posts: Amazon product recommendation – bread … [Read more…]
It goes without saying that Carror Cake or Cai Tao Kueh (CTK) is the mainstay of Singapore hawker food. You can eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper. It has its roots in Teochew, but has certainly evolved to become something uniquely Singaporean. I used to avoid eating CTK because it is too unhealthy … [Read more…]
My second attempt at all-grain brewing turned out to be a disaster. It still made it into my fermenter (the ingredients cost almost S$70!) but my all-in-one brewing kit was almost ruined. A painful lesson which, hopefully, you can avoid. Related posts: Hoegaarden beer project kick off Home brew kick off All grain brewing using … [Read more…]
Smoked food tastes good. We all know this because everybody loves BBQ and grilled food right? Health concerns aside, we want to eat smoked food once in a while. Most of us don’t have the luxury of using a smoker at home (large cabinet with wood burning at the bottom, or stove top smoker which … [Read more…]
We all know that food sticks to stainless steel cookware, but now, they have figured out how to make stainless steel non-stick. The surface is made to minimize contact with the foodstuff such that the food “floats”. This is a winning combo – abrasion-proof and non-stick, plus even heating. But, does it really work as … [Read more…]
Churros is surprisingly easy to make, to the point that i don’t understand how people can make a business out of selling Churros alone. The recipe is simple and idiot proof, but you do need to get the piping bag and star-shaped tip. Related posts: Korea destinations – Busan Taobao product recommendation – vacumm food … [Read more…]
