Indulge me a bit here. I’ve had a migraine for the last couple of hours and I’m loathe to drink any pill. I’ve been trolling the Internet for “magic cures” — okay, not really, but some tea, or some natural medication… so far I’ve found turmeric. But I really don’t feel like […]
I know, it’s the last day of August. There’s still 116 days ’til Christmas according to Organized Christmas. This year, I promised myself, we would be more organized, and therefore, hopefully, more relaxed. Relaxed enough to celebrate the season — and the Reason — the way it’s meant to be. While […]

New York had theirs earlier this month. This weekend, in London: the Second Annual Tiger Beer Chilli Crab Singapore Festival.
There will be food from Kiasu, cooking demonstrations by celebrity chef and cookbook author Terry Tan, and of course Tiger Beer. There will also be an art gallery, martial arts, dragon dancing, and […]
Aren’t these the cutest? I couldn’t resist. They’re the perfect little treats for not-so-perfect little girls who love hopia. Found them locally, imported from Eng Bee Tin Philippines.
I promised my 5-yo we’ll make this soon. Mooncake season is practically here — time to get out that recipe!
Mooncake molds available at the […]
You cannot be Filipino and not love sinigang. For that reason alone, rasam would be tops on a Filipino’s list of favorite Indian foods. Rasam is what I make in the cold season, when I don’t have fish or meat in the freezer and yet I’m longing for something hot and sour, to […]
Last weekend was the annual Tsukuba Matsuri (festival). This is not to be confused with the Tsukuba Matsuri that I mistakenly thought was on last month, and looked like being a very lonely, one man sort of festival until someone pointed out my mistake. This was the real thing.
Although the photo above, doesn’t really show […]
This was a recipe adapted from Susanna Foo’s cookbook.
It’s quite surprising, the use of thyme and tomato — ingredients you don’t usually see in Chinese cuisine. However, curiosity got the better of me and I tried it anyway. While this is a dish that’s easy enough to tackle on a hot […]
My crisper had nothing that evening but some lettuce, avocadoes and green onions. So I thought — perfect! We’ll have a green salad! Doesn’t make for a very good picture here as you can see, but it did make for some good eating.
1/4 cup miso of your choice
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

There are probably as many recipes for miso soup as there are cooks in Japan, but yesterday I found a new favourite. I was having lunch at Yamamoto Sushi in Tsukuba and as a part of a lunch time promotion they brought around big bowls of Kame (crab) and Miso soup. It tasted like the […]
