I love beef tongue, it is not easy to eat it in singapore, and now isetan are selling beef tongue, I will tend to go over there to buy and either sauteed it with butter or even shabu shabu.

Hi there
Many people like Takoyaki, even in Singapore, it is such a popular snacks, and one of the best takoyaki in singapore, I would say is Gindaco at Ion or Raffles City. ๐
But their flavours is quite limited, so if I go to Japan, I will also try out the current seasonal edition. ๐
This time round since it is in summer, so I get to try out the plum with raddish, which is Ume Daikon Oroshi. Dip these freshly cooked takoyaki balls into the syrupy plum sauce with some fresh grated radish, this is what I called summer. Other flavours include cheese mentai which is cheesy spicy fish roe flavour, some with just dashi and spring onions overload. The combination is endless..
And guess what flavour I found now? Mala spicy peppercorn flavours! Wow!
Can they please please have this in singapore too….?

Hi there
When I go to Japan during summer time, and a must try is definitely japanese kakigori, which is loosely translate to Japanese Ice Kachang. ๐
There are many types of kakigori, traditional kinds with old school toppings like red beans, black beans, chest nuts, mochi, and there are the new ones, which is just shaved ice with syrup like strawberries, lemon, green tea flavours, and toppings of some nice vanilla or green tea ice cream.
When we go to the summer festival, you can also find many shaved ice, which was on plastic cones, and you can see people walking around with shaved ice in their hands.

Hi there
This trip to Japan, one of my major discovery is definitely of all the beer snacks that is available in Japan.
I absolutely looooooooovvvvveeee them. It just remind me how I can kick back and relax with a nice cold beer in one hand and a bunch of snacks which I can munch on while enjoying my favourite program on TV. ๐
No one does it better like the Japanese, there are literally dozens of snack you can look for, hot or cold, fried or steam, and to wash it all down with a -2degrees cold beer after a long day walk in the hot sun, it is a blessings. ๐
Hi there

Hi there
Many people know of the household name of Glico, the manufacturer of so many famous chocolates and biscuits and sweets. ๐
This time when I am in Japan, I made it a point to visit the Glico kitchen that is near Tokyo station and my efforts totally paid off!
Glico kitchen located right next to the Calbee plus store, where you can get all sorts of yummy snacks and souvenirs.
Hi there
If you go to Tokyo, one of the latest “In” thing to do is definitely try out the freshly fried calbee at various locations in Tokyo. There is one branch in Harajuku and Odaiba land and of course the main store at Tokyo station Sweets land.
You can get to try out really fresh potato chips that is freshly fried in front of your eyes, and potato sticks that is chewy on the inside and crispy on the out, some interesting flavours like potato balls with soya bean powder is also one of my favourite.
And of course they just have to do it better, various flavours as toppings on the freshly fried chips, like cheese, sour cream and even chocolate which is paired with the soft sundae!!
Average each set you back about 300yen, which is less than SGD5.00, and you will also be tempted to get all the calbee products that showcase in the store ๐
Besides the calbee store, you will also get to check out Glico store and also other famous sweets store, so do check this out especially if you are with the kiddos. ๐

Hi there,
Recently, I have been back to Japan for a short trip, trying to try out something which I have never done before. And true to the commitment we have made prior to the trip we did put a big check across several things which I have always wanted to try out. ย ๐
First thing first – Food!!
Okonomiyaki which is Japanese pancakes has always been one of my favourite.
It is a mixture of cabbage, flour, eggs, meat or seafood, just mixed all and cooked it on a hot grill.

Hi there
I have always wanted to go for cooking class and see how people teach cooking. I am always amazed by how some chef who are so well versed in their craft, and how I wish I could be like them too.
Okay I know a thing or two about cooking, butย it sure doesn’t hurt to knowย more a bit aboutย food and where they are fromย ๐ But with all the mummy duties together with all the full time working, it can be quite hard sometimes.
However there are certainly somewhere you can get a crash course in cooking, may it be beginner or even expert, get inspirations and also pick up a couple new techniques or two along the way. ๐ And that brought me to AFC at Orchard Central. AFC is Asian Food Channel, that yummilicious channels with so many food shows to boot.
And if you are like me, who are short of time but who wanted to refresh your cooking passion once in a while, this place may be just where you need to unwind and channel your inner chef in you. ๐
