We are desperate to get jars of the Pu Tien Mum Chili Sauce. We live in California and regularly bribe our friends and family to bring back as many jars as they are willing every time anyone visits Singapore. Any suggestions about how to recreate the recipe ourselves to try at home? we have bountiful chiles here from all over the world.

oh dear sorry i can't even begin to guess how they blend the chilli. there's def birds eye chilli, coriander leaves, lime and sugar in it, but that's as far my guesswork goes.

This is the first time I'm reading your blog, can't tell you enough how happy I am to stumble across a blog like yours! I love how you pen honest thoughts and if I may, 'un-styled' food pictures. Totally unpretentious and straightforward! I mean why do we need flowers and random nicely painted nails beside food picture, we just want food as food. So, THANK YOU!

Hi CI!!!!

U r EXACTLY my kind of people!!!!! *hugz* This was always meant to be a food blog to air my opinions on food, in exactly the way i would tell my friends, coz i write the way i speak; with pictures that are far from professional but look true to form, so what u see in here is very often what you'd get yourself.

p.s. pls feel free to correct any grammatical/spelling mistakes u may see...i'm less meticulous than i'd like to be, write too fast, and seldom check my writing.

Janggut Laksa vs 328 Katong Laksa, Queensway Shopping Centre

Image
Queensway Shopping Centre , where locals flock to for all things sports and optical-related, is also known for good laksa. There are 2 laksa stalls, within a stone's throw of each other, both claiming to serve up the best. Both tout to be affiliates of world-famous Katong ones, and the accolades, writeups and publicity plastered all the utilitarian facades will attest to the fierce competition. Seating at both eateries is cramped and constrained, so dining is really a touch-and-go affair. Both are manned by efficient, if a little curt, bevy of staff, and so turnover is high. Good news for the 5-minute-on-average long line of diners waiting their turn. The menu is similarly limited, with laksa being the primary dish of choice, and its fixins' like otah and lime juice as regular side orders. Curry chicken, Chinese-style, is also a popular option. Janggut Laksa  The Laksa ($3.50 for small) here was disappointingly lackluster. It was insipid, and the milk had obviously cur...

Green Dolphin, Kaikoura, New Zealand

Image
Most people do a day trip to Kaikoura, a small town 2.5 hours north of Christchurch, to see the abundant marine life. Not us. We're HUGE fans of dolphins, and will take any opportunity to swim with these amazing creatures in the wild. Tbh, if I wasn't asked to do law by another mg-gal, I would have opted to do marine biology. *Flipper ftw!!!!* So we spent 4 whole days in Kaikoura, and ate at many of their amazing restaurants. Ironically, most of the food we ate was seafood. heh New Zealand places a strong emphasis on fresh produce, and eat off the land (or sea, as the case may be). Kaikoura, being a seaside town, is famous for, amongst other seafood, crayfish and mussels. If you thought Kaikoura's crayfish was the sad-little-bastard-cousin-twice-removed-of-lobster-variety that we get in Singapore, you'd be woefully mistaken. These were giant fleshy beautiful little brothers of lobsters. Only slightly smaller, sans those distinguishing pincers, but sweeter, more tend...

Chijmes Lei Garden Restaurant

We had brunch here over the weekend. We'd woken up late in the day and decided on the spot that we felt like some dim sum for lunch. That's the thing when you aren't bogged down with kids, you get to do things on your own time and whim, without the somewhat autocratic routine that's part of the package of having kids. Which is why I always tell my friends who are yet to have kids to enjoy their "freedom" as much as they can, because all that is moot when the kids come along. That's the single biggest thing that changes your life. Marriage doesn't change a couple's life as drastically as when the kids come along. Suddenly, it's not just about you 2 anymore, because everything centres around the kids and everything you do is for the kids. It's amazing how one tiny little tot decides your entire life, doesn't it? This is why we're really indulging in ourselves, watching all the TV we like, waking up as late as we do and taking all th...
