In 4 day's time, we will be celebrating the Lunar New Year. This year will mark the beginning of the Year of the Horse: an animal which signifies surprises in adventure and romance. People born during this year are believed to be good communicators, kind, talkative, independent, though sometimes impatient. My sister was born in the year of the 'Horse' and I do see some of these traits in her. This year coincidentally, the 15th day of the Lunar New Year (also known as 'Yuan Xiao Jie' … [Read more...]
Foodie Friday: Spuds & Aprons@The Jewel Box
Foodies rejoice! A new family-friendly modern restaurant has opened atop Mt. Faber. Many used to associate Mt. Faber dining with parking woes and stiff, pricey F&B options. Not anymore!

The 30 Minute Cookin Revolution
In a time-strapped, food-loving society like Singapore, we have a plethora of F&B establishments dotting every inch of our island. With so many options (and new ones sprouting like mushrooms daily), it's not uncommon to find families dining out, simply because whipping up a home cooked meal is too tedious and time-consuming, especially after a long working day. Nothing wrong with that, except that eating out often can be heavy on the pockets (with a simple meal easily setting … [Read more...]
Giddy Up for the New Year with Fox Kids & Baby!
When I was growing up, my family wasn't well-to-do. In fact, my Mom held two jobs just to keep the household afloat. So I particularly looked forward to Chinese New Year - for it was the ONLY time in the year when we can afford to buy new clothes and shoes. Somehow its significance stuck with me and I carried on this tradition of buying new clothes for the family till this day every Chinese New Year.

Cooking with Air – the Healthier Choice!
The Philips Avance XL Airfryer has been my indispensable kitchen help since the day it arrived. To date, I’ve used it to air-fry salmon fillets, French fries, chicken nuggets, chicken wings and drumlets, ikea meat balls, even successfully recreated a recipe on grilled Lemongrass Pork Fillets for the Vietnamese Bahn Mi Sandwich. I’m in awe of the air-fryer’s rapid air technology which cooks food with zero (or little) oil and in half the time taken by a conventional oven. In today’s post, I … [Read more...]

Photos Credit: Dream AcademyWe are no strangers to musicals, concerts, plays and we enjoy unwinding over a good laugh watching popular American TV sit-coms like Seinfeld, Friends and Everybody Loves Raymond (until they each ended their runs one by one). When I knew we were going to watch the opening preview of Crazy Christmas, the first thought that came to my mind was, “Is it a musical? A concert? A stand-up comedy?” The simple answer to that is yes, Crazy Christmas is all of that and a … [Read more...]
