I used to dread going west in the general direction of NTU – Tuas/Jurong West. It is so ULU and there is nothing there to do. Maybe it is age or maybe it is a different perspective that comes with aging

Thor, The Food Thief
Thor in action. Before he was condemned to cat purgatory. The sneaky fella was watching out for another opportunity to jump onto the table after being released from the bathroom. I thought only stray cats go around foraging for food.
3.Inch.Sin
A couple of weekends ago, we went to Relish at Cluny Court for dinner. I like the casual, laid-back ambience of the place, friendly service, decent burgers and the delicious strawberry milkshake. (And the convenience of doing my grocery shopping
Charcoal Buns Filled With Custard
My colleague told me that Mirabelle’s chocolate croissants are very good. Since we were in town, we swung by this little bakery at 27 Mackenzie Road, to pick up some for ourselves. I visited this bakery once before but didn’t pick up any croissants; bought

Pig’s Trotters In Vinegar
My sister-in-law’s mom-in-law made this for my niece’s one-month old party and it was delicious. It was cooked in the sweet-ish style that I like (as opposed to the sourish sort). I have to learn how to make this! While I

Haemul Pajeon (‘haemul’ – seafood; ‘pajeon’ – pancake) The haemul pajeon served by Red Pig, a Korean eatery at Amoy St run by two Korean ahjummas, is by far the tastiest that I’ve eaten in Singapore. The pajeon is very crispy on the outside and the insides filled with
