Yes, it was a date with Chef Sam, the young, handsome and talented food technologist baker. Rain or shine I must turn up, that’s what I told myself. It was an important and special date for me. On that faithful day, I went along to Orchard Central, with my bag in hand. No, it’s not a lady handbag with make-up stuff but my camera bag filled up with lenses and flash. Got the clue now?

Nevertheless, we can’t wait to go back home and join the Christmas fun. The is the first Christmas...

During my recent Penang vacation, I attended my first invited food review at Ko-Fu-Loft (口福楼), Gurney Plaza. I was very delighted to be included in what is by far the largest gathering of Penang food bloggers attending a food review. I find the occasion an enjoyable one. We had a great time sharing our personal opinion on food, blogging experiences and photography tips. I would like to thank...

Source: Canon Creative Park A very warm welcome to everyone! Finally my “new home” is ready!   I must say that there are still areas that require fine-tuning and improvement. But it may take quite a while before I can get the “ideal” layout. Right now, I just want to continue blogging so that I won’t keep everyone waiting for too long. Here, I would like to express my appreciation to Bryan Teh from...
