After discovering our common favourite dish (aka steamed yam cake) at Qiji eatery, I was on the spur of the moment to want to whip up this dish at home. So once again, it was scouring on the Internet for

Blueberries

Posted on 4 Sep 201225 Feb 2017   by Ling

Flowers and Goofy

Posted on 28 Aug 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

Weekend dinners are often early when I’m on cooking duties, since we often have early brunches before 10 AM. That usually leaves us with quite a bit of time in the early evening to bring Hannah out on walks either

Local Coffee & Toast Outlets in Singapore

Posted on 27 Aug 201225 Feb 2017   by Ling

In Singapore, one of our favourite past times is to hang out or stopover at an eatery selling kaya toast, coffee / tea and whatnots. I have a pet peeve over a particular such eatery of late. It is Toast

I haven’t done a post on Hannah’s morning routine for more than 2 years now, so here’s an updated post on it and our reactions as parents! Hannah has settled in nicely with her nanny and also at pre-nursery at

Movie Revisits

Posted on 22 Aug 201214 Mar 2018   by CY

Over the fortnight while the Olympics was in season, most evenings were spent in front of the living room TV. Not that I was consciously watching what was going on-screen, but I like having background audio while I’m working away

Work-in-Progress – Part 7

Posted on 20 Aug 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

Blog Writing

Posted on 20 Aug 20123 Apr 2026   by CY
