Okay, so I’m updating the blog a lot sooner than I thought I’d be. But that’s only because today’s message is SUPER IMPORTANT. Which is that voting for the 2012/2013 edition o...
Hi everyone. It’s been a really long time since I’ve been active here. I thought I would share some recent photos with you guys. S and I took off for a super fast 3 day trip to Tokyo last...
First and foremost, I want to thank everyone for reading this blog and supporting me over the past 6 and a half years. It is amazing to think that this blog started as a simple experiment back in 200...
Yesterday afternoon, I had the great pleasure of attending the local (Singapore) launch of the Singapore International Culinary Exchange (SPICE for short) and the unveiling of the Singapore Takeout. ...
So, there’s a small reason I haven’t had time to post for a while. 3.075 kilos small to be exact. On 10 March, my darling wife S and I became parents (for the first time). Our little boy&...
It’s no secret that I love burgers. Love going out for them and also love making them. And I think I do a pretty good job. Haven’t had too many complaints at least. That said, I’ve ...
Hola! I have just returned from a jam-packed week in Madrid, Spain. My colleagues and I were there to organize a super-cool culinary event that was also used as the launch pad for a whole series of e...
Last month, I had the pleasure of announcing and hosting a little contest sponsored very kindly by Staub. I had asked readers to send me their best photo of a gorgeously scrumptuous one-pot meal. The...
Over the past few months, the way that I have been cooking has changed irrevocably. You see, late last year, I picked up a device from Singapore’s newest, coolest and easily largest kitchen sto...
Tis the season. And in the spirit of gift-giving, one of my uber-kind advertisers has kindly offered to allow me to share one of its amazing products with one lucky reader. This December, I am giving...
I know I still need to post on the meals my wife and I enjoyed in Kyoto as well as update you on our weeklong eating spree through Tokyo, but I thought I would whet your appetites by dedicating one p...
This year, S and I decided, since we’re spending quite a bit of time in Japan, to not overindulge too much in Osaka, the first stop in our three city tour. Which is quite ironic since the Osaka...
Konichiwa! My voracious wife S and I are currently in Japan. Spent a few fun, food-fueled days in Osaka and just arrived in Kyoto today. We’ll spend a few days here, after which we’ll be ...
On my recent trip to Hong Kong, my lovely wife S and I had what was easily one of my best meals this year. We had both heard a lot about Chef Alvin Leung from Bo Innovation over the years. Some good,...
I really don’t come to Hong Kong often enough. But when I do, I make sure I get a few trusted foodie friends to take me out for good local grub. Most recently, I had the great pleasure of tasti...
While my darling and always voracious wife S and I love nothing more than spending a whole day together working our way through a slew of recipes, the reality is that this kind of cooking can really ...
My darling and always hungry wife S and I are big Thai food fans. Which means (quite automatically) that we’re big, big fans of Chef David Thompson. No chef has done more to teach us non-Thais ...
It’s no secret that I love photographing what I eat. And judging by the vast number of other food bloggers out there, I know I am not alone. Some of us shoot what we eat so we can share it with...
String hoppers served with a variety of curries. A wonderful way to start the day in Sri Lanka. Last weekend, S and I had the pleasure of visiting Sri Lanka for the very first time. It was a short tr...
When my svelte and sexy wife S and I first started dating, one of her friends described me (behind my back) as a “very porky person”. I’m not sure if she was talking about my ever-g...
For the past few months, my darling wife S and I have been taking turns writing a rather short column for the Asian edition of Reader’s Digest. For this month’s piece (June 2010), S wrote...
When I was counting down my favourite meals of last year, I wrote that one of them was had at Neil Perry’s very sexy Chinese restaurant, Spice Temple. While I had originally gone in slightly sk...
Okay, I have a new, local culinary addiction. And not just me. Most of my colleagues and I are currently obsessed with Chef Travis Masiero’s newest venture. The wunderkind, baby-faced chef-owne...
A few months ago, I was approached by a friend with a really interesting request. Would I be interested in shooting photographs of local food to be showcased as part of an interactive exhibition in t...
Several years ago, while scouting hotels for uber-sexy boutique hotel collections company, Mr & Mrs Smith, I had the pleasure of meeting hotelier and restaurateur Narelle McMurtrie and visiting h...
Chef Malcolm Lee in his new kitchen It’s always great to discover a new, fabulous little restaurant. Even better still when the chef-owner is a bright, earnest, young guy that you’ve watc...
There are some restaurants or cafes or coffee shops we go to because of one specific dish. You know the ones. The things you just have to order every single time you visit. The dishes you can’t...
(To see the rest of this post, keep reading!)
To pick up a tangential thread from one of Matt’s recent (and most fantabulous) posts, last week, I received an email from a publisher congratulating me for having been shortlisted by them to c...
When I was in the 5th grade, each student in my science class was given a small quail’s egg and asked to look after it. The eggs were housed in a large incubator. We were to ensure that our ass...
