Foodie

Ever since I was able to begin helping my mother in the kitchen, rather than simply prancing around in a frilly apron and getting to lick the spoon, I was…

Have a really great dish to serve and yet don’t want to leave it too boring with plain white rice? Or even if plain white rice is all that you…

Word of Warning: The picture above is of a bitten-into tamago. I couldn’t wait for the camera! It isn’t an authentic recipe for tamago. Firstly, due to the fact that…

I’ve never made bread before in my entire life and although I feel ashamed that I have not tried or wanted to, I have hope that in time to come…

Another one of my random trial & error moments. The first time I had okonomiyaki was in Tokyo and the okonomiyaki restaurant was quite a random one we found across…

I was gutted when I found out yesterday my Abercrombie Anarchy Party has to be cancelled or put on hold because of someone else’s surprise birthday party. Not to mention,…

For any of you Market Kitchen fans, yes this was certainly provoked by Wednesday’s episode where Mark Jankel brilliantly whipped up an easy, healthy and light lunch of egg, white flower broccoli…

Yea go ahead, point and laugh. You may jeer at me and say, ‘I told you so.’ When I thought I’d left this blog behind (not so willingly actually) and…

Some long overdue photos. The weather here has been somewhat crazy. Terribly hot and muggy and then suddenly, we are plagued (it’s a good thing really I just think that…

Who knew that I’d actually come back here to put up a post. I’d sort of decided to drop the blog (for a while or forever I was not too…

Holiday gifts are always tricky to come up with, especially for your boss or coworkers. Should you take the easy way out and buy them a gift card? On the…

I think I have completely mastered the art of indulgence. It involves zero baking of my own, merely getting up at a fairly late hour mid-morning, throwing some roomy clothes…

When we ventured into Gion, one thing that motivated us was seeing the streets of this pleasure district, grabbing a few bits of traditional Japanese crafts and also seeing a…

Where have I been? What’s happened to my twitter? Hijacked? Deleted? Non! I’ve been away jetsetting somewhere in Japan having a blast of a time eating and snapping photos and…

I know I’m not putting up posts for my Kyoto Snaps series fast enough and hope that isn’t disappointing or frustrating anyone too much. Too many things to do too little time…

I made a very similar dish earlier on Monday. I had just gotten home from uni, starving, cold, and just a tiny bit cranky. In such a volatile state, it…

Was just chatting to my flatmate today about photographs, food, cameras and the tricky issue of the sodding thing putting (imaginary, I hope) pounds on us in every picture. When…

The Sugar Bar is my baby and the cellulite of my life. I can’t get rid of it no matter how hard I try. Can’t stop loving or working at…

The sky is blue as blue, a half moon’s still out in this cloudless sky, sun’s blazing down upon us so fiercely – it’s just wonderful! And there are drunk…

Have I been missed? I’ve been away for quite a bit that’s for sure (nose deep in books, essays and my laptop til my eyes crossed) and so has the…

There’s a street in London called Pudding Lane. That always tickles my funny bone. The word pudding. It makes me grin, it makes me laugh, it sends excited shivers down…

Yesterday was my last day with the kid sister C so we made sure to get up early for a good breakfast out. I’d raved about Lantana cafe on Charlotte Place in…

As you all know, my time on the blog has gotten very much shorter and the time to try new recipes and invent chocolate truffle combinations has been almost obliterated…

No matter how busy anyone is, there’s always time to eat. My number one rule in the book, never forget to eat. I mean, it’s physically impossible for me anyway…
