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! Thanks very much folks, for listening to my two cents worth on the need to increase environmental awareness and action amongst Muslims. It is my hope that such messages will in time be shared further and ultimately reach a critical mass for 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

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

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!

FOOD WASTE! Seriously people, if you’re not a big eater, then don’t order something heavy – like Nasi Lemak. Get a curry puff, roti kaya or salad instead. Or if you really need a Nasi Lemak, then ask for a smaller portion (eg. Less rice). FACT #1: Singapore’s food supply is largely dependent on imports.

So after a sumptuous meal at Veganburg, a pal and I decided to head somewhere for coffee. eL pal decides to bring me to check out Loysel’s Toy Cafe. Situated along a quiet lane off Kallang Road, the serene surroundings of this place was just lovely 🙂 Ture also houses several other offices… such as

It’s 11.30am and my colleagues and I figured we’d have an early lunch to avoid the crazy lunch time crowd in NTU’s canteen B. Alas, I guess other people had the same idea so it was pretty crowded anyway. BUT nothing could have made lunch better than this! A paper thosai with pumpkin and beetroot

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
