As much as I love fruit pies, apple pie definitely ranks no. 1 in our household. Thankfully, apples are available all year round in Singapore so I have every reason to make this Salted Caramel Apple Pie.
Thanks to the addition of salted caramel, the savory-sweet combo of the apple pie filling is simply one of the best filling I ever had.

This easy to make no bake Salted Caramel Mousse with Caramel Popcorn dessert is one of the recent experiment I’ve tried. Super easy to make, all you need is a little patience while waiting for the dessert to chill for at least 6 hours or overnight before consumption...

As much as I love whipping up a storm in the kitchen (minus the cleaning part), there are days when I just want to make something simple with a few handy ingredients and still taste incredibly delicious. Today is the day. Other than my all-time favorite chocolate sheet cake which is by far the most popular and easiest dessert, this Back-to-Basics Dark Chocolate Pound Cake might actually give a run for its money. If you don’t have a lot of time but crave for an amazing cake, this would be the recipe...

Crème Brulee is such big hit at our household that we are finding different ways to enjoy it. Inspired by The Baker Chick, I combined my all-time favorite Vanilla Sponge Cake recipe with my chocolate éclair pastry cream filling and made these oh-so-pretty Crème Brulee Cupcakes...

Dry-Fried String Bean is one of those super humble and easy to make stir fry vegetable dish that tastes oh-so-umami-licious (yes, I totally made up that word). The saltiness in this dish that hits you like a song is none other than olive vegetable. Ignore the misleading name as olive vegetable is actually preserved mustard green marinated in oil and olives...

Since the opening of their flagship store at [email protected] a year ago, I did not have the chance to visit Cocoa Colony until recently. However, I often find myself at the other outlets at Shaw Centre and The Star Vista. Truth be told, even though they specialize in avant-garde chocolate products, I’ve only tried their dark chocolate mocha so far. Consider I’m an (almost) chocoholic, I think I should be ashamed...

With the rising trend of organic food and clean eating, I was pretty excited to be introduced to Kitchen by Food Rebel. Located at 28 Stanley Street (Telok Ayer Area), I could already anticipate the high turnover from the CBD lunch crowd.
Mention clean eating and the no. 1 food item that pops into (almost) everyone’s mind is salad. At Kitchen by Food Rebel, besides their attractive organic multi-color salads, this hipster café cum bistro joint offers a variety of nutrient-dense Buddha bowls, 100% Austrian wheat floured sandwiches and even Asian inspired hot meals...

Besides being an affordable furniture haven for home lovers, IKEA is well known for its fried chicken wings and Swedish meatballs as well. I’ve always been curious of what goes into the meatballs.
Recently, I just realized they are selling the frozen meatballs at its chilled food section. But since I’ve already set my mind on making them from scratch, I left for the supermarket to gather the ingredients. Thinking back, I should have grabbed that bottle of lingonberry jam. Oh well...

In this hectic and stressful modern age we live in, we girls know it’s more important than ever to do all we can to maintain a healthy and youthful skin complexion. Feeling stressed? Didn’t drink enough water? Not maintaining a balanced diet? Not getting at least 8 hours of beauty sleep? I can safely say we are all guilty of at least one of the above.
I first came across LAC Taut® Collagen Drink from a popular Taiwanese beauty program 女人我最大 (Lady First List) in 2014. Collagen found in our everyday food is too large to break down so by breaking down the collagen molecules through revolutionary hydrolysis process, they can be rapidly absorbed by the body. The powerful age-defying ingredients not only help to hydrate the skin, it repairs and rejuvenate damaged cells and regular consumption could help to brighten the overall skin tone too. I was sold and that was when I became a convert of this powerful antioxidant drink...
