Soufflés are not something that I’ve had many of. The last one I remember having was atop a hill in Fort Canning Park, Singapore. It was a delightfully fluffy and incredibly delicious passionfruit soufflé. It was also about two years … Continue reading
I am a deeply unreasonable person. I love my smartphone, my laptop and all the awesome geeky gadgety stuff. It makes my inner nerd squee in delight! But occasionally, I’ll proclaim to myself ‘screw this, I’m doing this the old … Continue reading
Happy Chinese New Year, folks! I usually do a really themed Chinese New Year post (e.g. dumplings), but I find them difficult to explain. We never measure anything when making dumplings. It’s become one of those things where we gauge … Continue reading

Some days you wake knowing exactly how your day will go. Those are the days where you reach for the oatmeal, skim milk and Splenda. Other days seem aimless. I woke at seven this morning to a cold room, an … Continue reading
Of all people, I know I can be a little obsessive about 9gag, but I have never seen anything more true than this on its pages.
