So after my brunch with Kiat at Maison Ikkoku 3 weeks ago, I had been craving for the guacamole that was served along with their Smoked Salmon Scrambled dish. The best thing about this side is that it is so easy to make and no cooking is involved. No fancy ingredients, just simple ones that you can find...

Sesame salad dressing lovers, you will fancy this dish! Ever since I made Baba Ghanoush, I have been going gaga over sesame paste. So, tahini is basically a paste made from sesame seeds and they are so versatile because you can use it for both sweet and savory dishes. It is a protein rich paste and contains more protein...

This is one of my favourite soups but I don't understand why the soup stalls in food courts and coffee shops do not have this on their menu. I only got to discovered this gem until a few months ago when my mum helped to prepare my sister's confinement meals for a month after she gave birth to...

Big Breakfast is a common dish in almost every cafe nowadays, just that each cafe name the dish differently. Before these cafes even emerged in the market, I had been eating this dish every week since young. I was an avid fan of Mcdonalds and my parents never fail to bring me to the same outlet for breakfast...

A fat filled donut or those piping hotcakes drizzled with maple syrup from Mcdonalds or the authentic Singaporean hawker economical fried beehoon and stir-fried carrot cake? These food which are high in sugar and carbohydrates makes you full only for a brief period of time. Weight watchers, stay away from all...

I can no longer find such traditional braided butter sugar bread loaf from the commercial bakeries such as Breadtalk and Fourleaves. This is one of my favorite bread that I always get from the traditional bakeries and they taste best when they are slightly warm. I love the sprinkles of sugar on the slightly buttered bread. They are...

I LOVE BREAD. I wish bread is protein or fibre instead of carbs so I can have plenty of them everyday. It has been a long time since I last baked a bread and I am excited about baking them again. I remembered that my virgin attempt baking a bread back then cost me my electrical mixer because...

Avocados' appearance do not do justice to how nutritious and delicious they actually are. These alligator pears are in fact one of the healthiest fruit in the world. Weight watchers who have been shunning avocado because of their high level of fat content, these fats are actually good for you! You don't just get fat by eating fat....

I am back at one of my favourite brunch cafes. I've been wanting to come back to this place since my last visit a year ago yet I took so long to return back to this place. Maison Ikkoku is certainly one of the cafes that I would highly recommend for a good brunch and I would definitely...

I am a big fan of brunch. Which girl isn't? Except that brunch served in cafes is getting more expensive. Since when did the price of a dish of eggs, toast bread and some veggies proliferated to close to 20$?? Oh well, that is probably the market price of brunch in cafes nowadays. Personally, I feel that if...

Baba Ghanoush is a classic mediterranean egg plant dip. If you are a fan of hummus, you might like it too. Both hummus and baba ghanoush are very similar, except that hummus mainly consists of pureed chick peas while baba ghanoush is made of egg plant. Are you thinking of "Yikes. Egg plants!!!" Some people are turned off...

My first bake of the summer. Starting the summer with an easy bake to warm up my precious oven as well as myself. I was a little lost at the start but I am glad that the baking 'feel' began to return after a while. HAHAHA. I made a bit of mess on the kitchen table, with flour...
