With the Ringgit at such a favourable exchange rate (3.088), there’s no better time to head to Johor for a short getaway. Not that there is much one can do in Johor, other than the obvious eating and shopping. I’ve gone through the list of attractions in Johor over and over again, but could not … [Read more…]
Ramen is expensive in Singapore, typically ranging from $12 to $18. In Japan, it is seldom more than 1000 yen ($11.80). It is hard to justify paying so much for a bowl of ramen in Singapore, and when I’m having a craving, nothing makes me feel more satisfied than the Tsukemen from Menya Musashi. The … [Read more…]
“Hidden gem” is one of the most over-used phrases that newbie food reviewers like to use. It sounds almost obnoxious to me, and because of that, I’m going to use it (well I’m a newbie food reviewer too). I originally intended to write about my favourite Fried Bee Hoon and Prata stalls, the real hidden … [Read more…]

I think most people buy rather than bake their own bread because they overestimate the difficulty associated with baking bread. What got me started was simply the thought of having freshly baked bread … [Read more…]
Does the term PAM ring a bell to you? Not many people in the eastern hemisphere will know that it is a popular brand of a cooking spray. A cooking spray would appeal to someone who is health conscious, since it reduces the amount of oil needed for cooking. I guess one reason it didn’t catch on … [Read more…]
There’s something about the striped grill marks on a panini that makes it so luring to me that i wanted to own a panini toaster. Having the grilled stripes does add extra crunchiness, balanced by the rest of the softer parts of the bread. This is not achievable by a toaster or an oven, which grills … [Read more…]
When i first started drinking kopi at Kopitiams, a cup of kopi costs 60 cents. Some time around 2005 or 2006, if my memory doesn’t fail me, there was a price hike to 80 cents.
