Just before the Christmas holidays ended, the hubby and I managed to visit this quaint little cafe which my Instagram pals have raved about since months back. It's easy to see why many have fallen in love with La Ristrettos. It's tucked away in a secluded spot at level 8 of the posh Novena Medical Centre (where Doctor for a Day was held). It offers a quiet respite from the hustle and bustle mall (Square 2) below it; it's cosy and decorated rustically with lots of chic coffee memorabilia … [Read more...]

Since then, whenever we have dinner parties, it would be top of our request for her to bring a Meyer Lemon Tart. The only challenge to baking a Meyer Lemon Tart is that it is rather difficult to find Meyer Lemons in Singapore (and they don't come cheap). Meyer Lemons are not our typical lemons; they are rounder and have a warm orange hue. It’s believed Meyer Lemons are the … [Read more...]
