I’ve been annoyed for quite a bit. Ever since Christmas, the Instant Pot has been out of stock. Here in Singapore the best place to get the IP is via Amazon UK as the plug and power is exactly correct. I’ve been hankering after the 8L Pot for more than a year already for 3 … More Instant Pot Teochew Braised Duck
I love traveling. The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say. – … More Baked Spaghetti Squash
Chinese steamboat or hot pot 火锅 is an integral part of our food culture. Every Chinese New Year, household stores advertise electric steamboats.

Work doesn’t quite grind to a halt but lets up gently for a while and allows one to take a deep breath before the next big thing. 2017 has been an eventful year for me – lots of interesting new experiences like trying to balance work and … More Wafu Miso Steak and Cauliflower Purée
The first time I stepped into an American supermarket I was gobsmacked. Firstly the trolleys were almost twice the size of our trolleys back home and similarly the aisles were wide and uncluttered (which is why shows like Guy’s Grocery Games don’t have contestants getting jammed into little corners or knocking down displays).

My grandfather was a typical Chinese man who loved his pork. One of my clearest memories as a child was of him enjoying his braised pork belly or pig trotter stews at our weekly Saturday night family dinners. My dad’s family lived in Malaysia and we used to faithfully brave the Causeway traffic every Saturday … More Instant Pot Braised Pork Belly
When my kids were little, there was a story book they loved, called Pizza Pat. It was one of those audibly appealing books where the story rolled off the tongue – “this is Pat…This is the tray that Pat bought…This is the dough all stretchy and floppy that lay in the tray that Pat bought…this … More Low Carb Chicken Crust Pizza
