Marks and Spencer

Marks and Spencer are infamously expensive, but every once a while, some of their items go on discount, which makes purchasing from their food hall a lot less indulgent.

As it turned out, their Jaffa Cakes were on discount (usual price $5.50, discounted price $4.90), so obviously we snapped up several boxes of them. Ernie swears by them, he actually buys 6 boxes of these a week, discount or not. Dark chocolate spongy biscuits with a layer of marshmallows. These are decadently delicious and perfect with a hot cuppa joe.

Pork Jowl Bulgogi Kimchi Arugula Salad with Pomegranate Seeds

추석라따그램인데 오늘은 축하할일이 없어요. 이태원을 위해 기도해주세여 삼가 고인들의 명복을 빕니다.   ======================   Bulgogi is another traditional Chuseok mainstay, but because I already planned for galbi tang as the entree, I re-worked bulgogi into a modern salad. The sweetness of the bulgogi marinade is set off by the sour spice notes of the kimchi stir-fry, while fresh arugula and pomegranate seeds temper the sweetish heat of the Korean red pepper paste.  Ingredients (feeds 2) 250gm pork jowl, seasoned with salt and pepper and grilled 200gm fresh kimchi, chopped roughly 200gm carrots, shredded 100gm enoki  2 eggs, hard-boiled and sliced 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds 100gm arugula, chopped roughly sesame seeds for garnishing Directions: 1) Fry kimchi until the liquid is almost cooked off, about 3 minutes on medium-high heat.  2) Add carrots, toss through till softened, about 2 minutes.  3) Add enoki, stir through, about 1 minute.  4) Add gochujang, stir through.  5) Assembly t...

The People vs Cheapo Food Bloggers and Bad English

This is a mini rant. Friends know that my one guilty indulgence is reading food blogs ("flogs"). ("guilty" because I read them at work...yes, my boss reads this flog too) And Singapore, despite its little size, has a very developed food blogging scene. A quick surf on the internet will prove that there is an inordinate number of flogs for a country as tiny as ours. I suppose it's really due to the connectivity of our island, its technologically savvy netizens and their insatiable appetite and love for food. But lately, I've noticed a worrying trend. There is a growing number of flogs that I've stopped reading entirely, simply because almost 90% of their posts are all based on invited tastings. Don't these cheapos ever pay for their meals anymore?!? I've always thought that the ( one of the primary ) purpose( s ) of writing a flog is to introduce to the good people of Singapore the various culinary treasures on our little island. An invited ...

Hotel Intercontinental Room Service, Bangkok, Thailand

Holidays needn't be fattening. I know this may be surprising, but I find that I generally get fitter and consequently, lose weight, every time I go on holiday. Work, on the other hand, makes me fat, because after a long hard day racking my brains at my desk in front of the computer, there's just no motivation to exercise after that. Plus, I'm just too tired after work to work up a sweat. But it's different when I'm on holiday. I get to sleep in, and only when I'm truly refreshed, slowly make my way to the gym and work out at my own leisure.  Of course, it helps when the hotel gym is gorgeous and brilliantly comprehensive to work out in. Perched on the 36th floor of the 5-star hotel and right smack in the middle of the Siam shopping belt, the floor-to-ceiling windows boast a stunning view of the city. You just get inspired to keep running on the treadmill when your voyeuristic tendencies come out to play, looking out at the bu...
