Probably one of the reasons why people have never tried to go vegetarian is due to the perception that most dishes in our typical Singaporean lifestyle contains meat. “Oh my nasi lemak, mee goreng, char kway teow, murtabak and prata, wanton noodles, beef rendang, etc etc…” Possibly true… but there are those unsung heros. Behold!

One of the sweetest shots taken ever. An elderly couple living around Dawson Road taking a stroll along the Alexandra Canal Park Connector in Singapore. Despite it’s high level of urbanisation (a loss of more than 90% of Singapore’s natural habitat) extensive efforts have been taken in replanting and greening the urban space. The park

A big shout out to Arwa Aburawa and others from The Green Prophet for interviewing me on my thoughts on the environmental challenges in Southeast Asia and the role that women play in it. What an honour it is to be featured along side other awesome green Muslims like Ibrahim Abdul Matin, Kristiane Backer and the ever-so

The thought of eating balls of rice somehow reminds me of the old trick to do when you’ve accidentally swallowed on a bone. (Sorry if that sounded random but it makes perfect sense to me!). QQ Rice offers big (triangle or oval-shaped) balls of rice, with 5 fillings of your choice. And yes, there’s a

How awesome is that? I got interviewed by NTUMS’s Eleven and MuzlimBuzz.sg!

I’m sure many will agree that today’s downpour on our concrete island brought out the “lazy bum syndrome” in us. So lazy that you just want to curl up in bed and snooze the whole day. So lazy that you can’t be bothered to whip up a meal in the kitchen. But really, it’s not

For me, it was 20 minutes ago on Youtube. And that could possibly be the first time I have watched one. Most of the qurbans that I can recall done for my family during Eid Al Adha were through friends in Indonesia, so that they would give the meat to the less fortunate there. We’d

I just can’t get enough of Artichoke’s Beetroot Tzatziki. So I decided to make it myself! Some beetroot mixed with a dollop of Greek yoghurt. And for the crunchy coating, I improvised with a mix of cashew nuts and homemade “bawang goreng” (fried onion – a staple garnishing found in many Malay households) nicely grounded

Can I just say that I’m not really a fan of e-books? And while I appreciate the invention of e-journals and PDFs for making my professional and academic life a lot easier, staring at a computer screen seems to be taking up way too much of my life. EVIL COMPUTER!! Of late I’ve been trying

Orange blossom honey gelato. It’s not only deeeeeelish, it’s locally made! And I love the fact that Artichoke (on Middle Road) supports locally made gelato and sorbet. Try it out at Artichoke. Or get it straight from Lattee Miele. Die die, must try!
