Down With HFMD For Her Birthday

April 2, 2009December 24, 2011  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  Vanessa will be two years old tomorrow. She should be in school celebrating her birthday. But it’s so unfortunate that she’s possibly down with HFMD. I hope it’s a false alarm though. Although she started having ...

Seizing Control of Vanessa’s Computer

April 2, 2009December 24, 2011  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  One of the ways to keep Vanessa occupied is to sit her in front of a computer “tuned” into the Sesame Street website. You can see in the photo how attentive she is to the computer monitor. The trouble is that she also ...

Superb Sashimi at Akashi

March 31, 2009April 1, 2009  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  Lunch today was at Akashi Japanese Restaurant located at Vivocity. It’s a nice cozy place. The first thing that struck me was their wasabi. It is the real thing. Not the wasabi paste you get in most Japanese restaurant. ...

Braised Beef Noodle at Holland Village Hawker Centre

March 25, 2009May 23, 2016  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  This is the same as stewed beef noodle. It’s suprisingly very good, much better than the same from Crystal Jade, at about half the price. — Posted from my N95 ...

Buffet At Ellenborough Market Cafe

March 14, 2009  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  We recently went to Ellenborough Market Cafe at the Merchant Court Hotel for high tea. They are quite famous for their buffets. I’ve quite enjoyed their buffet for many years, despite the crowd. But I somehow felt different ...

Malay Rempeyek

March 12, 2009May 13, 2016  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  This Malay Rempeyek is really delicious. It’s a peanut cracker snack. Made by Khad’s Kebab. They are around in NUS for various bazaar events until end of this month. — Posted from my N95 ...

Childcare Week Two

March 11, 2009December 24, 2011  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  This is the second week of Vanessa’s childcare attendance. She seems to be doing very well at the childcare centre. She doesn’t fuss at all when we leave the house in the morning, even when our domestic helper ...

Stewed Beef Brisket Noodle

March 9, 2009May 26, 2016  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  I like stewed beef brisket noodle. The one at Crystal Jade used to be quite good but they seem to be getting less nice over time. There’s a stall at Bukit Timah Hawker Centre that serves pretty good ones. — Posted from my ...
