Online shopping has made life really easy for a lot of people. Nowadays most things can be bought online and it’s perfect for people like me who don’t like venturing out of the house unnecessarily. You know that I’ve reached an extreme level when I’m on a first name basis with most of the delivery…

Bitter Gourd Omelette
Ahhhhh… Bitter Gourd. You either love it or hate it. For me it was love developed overtime. I still remember vividly the first time Bitter Gourd appeared in my household when I was a lot younger. I was not the most adventurous eater back then (sure am making up for lost time now hehe), but…
Salted Egg Yolk Cookies (CNY)
It’s exactly one week to go until Chinese New Year! Have you bought all the necessary things (by necessary I mean mostly food) yet? Some of you have been baking up a frenzy, no doubt. Since we finally got a decent oven for this household, I’ve been hardworking enough to churn out some Chinese New…
Eco Life Kitchen
I received an invitation from Cheng Yi to visit a Vegetarian restaurant together and I had to do a double take. Cheng Yi? Eating vegetarian food? I have a mental image of him gnawing on a bone… (better still, I have a real image…click here). Anyway apparently a meat man can be meat-ed out afterall….
Maison Francaise: A Revisit
Following a pleasant visit to Maison Francaise back in 2013 (geez how time flies), I didn’t hesitate before accepting another invitation to dine at the romantic mansion again. Chef Thierry Le Baut has recently taken over the kitchen and needless to say has brought some changes to the menu. Let’s take a look at the…
AFF Philippines: Tortang Talong (Eggplant Omelette)
When I was researching for Philippine cuisine, I was deeply intrigued by this dish called Tortang Talong (Eggplant Omelette). A dish combining 2 of my favourite things: Eggplant and Egg; of course I had to try it! I wonder how come I’ve never thought of doing that myself, but nevermind as now this dish is…
AFF Philippines: Banana Ketchup
Even though I have quite a few Philippino friends, strangely I’ve never been introduced to the cuisine. Now that I think about it, I don’t even know whether there are good restaurants in Melbourne serving Philippine cuisine. Luckily, Mr Google has proven to be useful in this research and I’ve been learning tons about this…
AFF Indian Subcontinent: Bhindi Masala
It’s nearly halfway through May and here is my first post for the month. What have I been up to? Well, to paint you a picture, I have average of 3-4 shows per week, along with about 4-5 rehearsals with the 2 different bands I have. Which means most nights I’m not at home and…
AFF Korea: Gyeran JJim (Steamed Egg Custard)
It’s common knowledge that there are a lot of crossovers in Asian cuisines. Take dumplings for example: Chinese makes Jiaozi, Japanese makes Gyoza, Korean makes Mandu and even Nepalese has Momos. Not surprisingly, it’s easy to adapt and enjoy these cuisines as if they are our own. Similarly, the humble steamed egg can be seen…
Massaged Kale Salad
Everytime I come across a Kale recipe on Youtube or blog, I feel a pang of envy because I have never been able to find that in KL. And to be honest this nature’s superfood was not on my radar when I was still living in Oz, as it hasn’t gained such a huge popularity…
