We attended a friend's baby's full month celebration last month and the home-cooked Pig Trotters Vinegar prepared by our friend's Mom left us wanting for more. Pig Trotters Vinegar is a popular confinement food that can be laborious to prepare. With an iconic cookware like Le Creuset, it's just a matter of time that we pair it with local iconic dishes. At the hubby's encouragement, I decided to put the Le Creuset and my rookie culinary skill to the test to cook the legendary … [Read more...]

DIY Japan: Osaka – Of Deers, Whales and Seriously Stunning Temples!
Exploring Nara Deer Park, Osaka Aquarium KAIYUKAN, Tōdai-ji Temple, Kōfuku-ji Temple.

Sun’s Out, Kids’ Out – Go Karting at Kartright Speedway
My daughter ‘drove’ me around today. Round and round. She was steering the Go Kart and negotiating the bends, avoiding the kerbs and other cars with me, seated by her side controlling the accelerator and brakes. I had not expected it but thanks to Kartright Speedway, Dana had her first taste of driving a Go Kart and she absolutely LOVED it. Apart from the Skyline Luge@Sentosa, Go Karting now ranks highly on one of our favourite parent and child bonding activities! Our 1st Daddy and Child Go … [Read more...]
Cirque du Soleil – Totem
‘Wow! Wow! Wow!’ This and the fact that I couldn’t close my mouth even if I wanted to were the two constant reactions to every single acts in TOTEM, Cirque Du Soleil’s brand new show which is now on Singapore’s shores.

Penang…with a Penangite
I was born and bred in Penang. Spent 20 of my formative years there before I headed overseas to study. It is no surprise that Penang will always have a special place in my heart even though I've now relocated to Singapore. My family, along with many close friends, in fact, are still there. So what does a Penangite do, where does he eat and go whenever he goes back? Well, here’s taking you on our trip last Dec (Yes! This is a super late post!) when we brought Buddy … [Read more...]
