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

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

Mess Tins Sightings beyond Campsites! I learnt a new word over the weekend. FLEXITARIANISM! (Say what?) Good ol’ Wikipedia says that it is often used interchangeably with semi-vegetarianism. I guess that makes me one of them, since I’ve been taking more pro-active steps in reducing my meat intake. And it would also include the increasing

I’ve always loved my veggies. There have been a few veggies that have been quite iconic in my growing years. Toddler days: Cauliflower Teens/ Dorky Adolescent days : Broccolli Undergrad days: Beetroot (AUSSIE, AUSSIE, AUSSIE! OI, OI, OI!) Perhaps its this love for veggies that has made it slightly easier for me to progressively lay
