Posted by: | CommentsHi there
What comes after Chinese New Year? Yes, its Valentine’s Day!
So here I am, checking out places, planning where I might be able to go with my hubby, yup, its a little cliche I know, but there is just something about this period, where I am usually very happy, shopping for my chocolates or making chocolate brownies, may be is from the sugar high of all the chocolates, may be its just the red heart shape ballons or the cute little cupids pictures plastering at shops. But 14 February I believe its on many people’s mind. 
So back to the Valentine’s Day dining option, I shall kick start with the Valentine’s Day Menu from Paulaner Brauhaus.
Treat your loved ones to a special set meal at Paulaner Brauhaus, and sink your teeth and your heart in some of their tantalising dishes.

SAVORY NAM YUE DUCK STEW (FERMENTED BEANCURD)
Posted by: | CommentsHi there
Over the Chinese New Year, we have cooked a few dishes which we usually cook once a year, and Nam Yue Duck Stew which is a really simple dish is very popular among the adults. Ingredients are simple and you can use other cuts of meat to replace duck.
Actually many people find duck has this distinguish gamey taste that might deter them from trying it, but rest assure this dish is prepared in such a way you will not even get a hint of the gamey taste.
Ingredients as usual is very simple (I prefer to keep it simple especially during Chinese New Year when there are many dishes that need to be prepared)
CLAYPOT FUN – VERY FUN INDEED! REVIEWS, MENU AND PRICING
Posted by: | CommentsHi there
Visited Claypotfun at East Coast Big Splash couple weeks back, as one of us was raving about how good the claypot rice is. Claypotfun is actually under the Jumbo Seafood group, and one of their biggest selling point is that their dishes is made from scratch, so they only cook the claypot rice upon order, and usually takes around 20 mins for a piping hot claypot rice.
Their menu boast a series of South China or Cantonese style dishes and over there, you might find a little different from the singapore style claypot rice. They do not use dark sauce for flavouring, but rather they let the ingredients to do the talking, enhancing flavours using salted fish, marinated meats and seafood to obtain the natural flavours with the smoky grains that goes into each order.
If you prefer, they also have their in house secret recipe home made light soy sauce to stir in to up that claypot flavour.

Okay, if you have checked out my steamboat post, then you will have some new ideas of dipping sauce ideas. One of the dipping sauce is citrus soya sauce + grated radish.
This dipping sauce is extremely versatile, and you can use it on many dishes. You can use it with grilled items like grilled fish or barbeque meat, or shabu shabu steamboat meats. I like to also cook steak, top it with grated radish and sprinkle with lots of chopped spring onions and a drizzle of citrus soya sauce.
But how exactly do you make the grated radish. I have a few tips for you to ensure you have some tip top grated radish for your meal
Hi there
By now you probably have tried different steam boat broth and ingredients, but if you are still craving for more or wanted something different, then you might like to check out my recipes below.
I have set up this steamboat dinner on the first day of chinese new year, as I knew I will be able to eat the traditional steamboat fare at my relative’s place so I wanted to make mine a little different, a little more cosy actually.
So for our home steamboat, what I did is a mixture of Japanese cum Chinese style. I have made meat vegetable rolls, using Japanese seafood like oysters and also using Japanese dipping sauce .

SPECIAL BEEF NOODLES BY MADAM SAIGON AT MILLENIA WALK – JUST HOW SPECIAL IS IT?
Posted by: | CommentsHi there
I got some vouchers from groupon a few months back, so decided to go to Madam Saigon for lunch before the vouchers expire.
When they were at Liang Seah street, I ate there once with my husband before and thought they do serve decent beef noodles but the price however was a little steep so we never really went back there.
Since now we are armed with $60 bucks worth of free vouchers, we decided to give it a try again.
Now Madam Saigon is located at Millennia Walk which is much quieter, and they also have an additional alfresco area so it is great for families with little ones. It is not warm at all too because many ceiling fans have been set up for diners and you can enjoy the breeze while dining there.
The alfresco area are more spacious but is along the access way of the mall, so if you do not mind the occasional gawking, I will say outside is way more comfortable, judging by how the seatings inside looks rather cramp.
