Roasted Figs with Rosemary and Mascarpone Tart
Figs, fruit of the Gods. They are lusciously sweet with a texture that combines the chewiness of their flesh, the smoothness of their skin, and the crunchiness of their seeds. Sometimes, the seeds continues to play on your tongue even after you've devoured most of it. When its fig season and you see figs in the grocery store, you don't hesitate but grab boxes of them, as much as your arms could carry. I bought them home, with an intention to transform them into a sublime dessert. I am ...

Kecap Manis Satay
Super kids friendly, non-spicy, easy satay recipes to make! Kecap Manis, an Indonesian word is literally translated to "Sweet Soy Sauce".
Kecap manis (pronounced KEH-chup MAH-nees) is an Indonesian sweet soy sauce with a molasses consistency and a dark brown color. Flavored with garlic, star anise, soybeans, and palm sugar, the sauce is more syrupy and complex than commonplace soy sauce.

Easy Flatbreads
This recipe is so easy to whip up, really there's no excuse not to make fresh breads to soak up your curries or whenever you feel like it. I am usually hopeless at making bread but I can ace this.

This is a quick easy recipe to attempt, very impressionable and tastes so good!!
1 on 1: Filming with Iwa
Iwa, like I have mentioned in my video introduction has been my secret gym idol for awhile. We met through mutual friends and have had a couple of play dates together as her girls are a close age to mine but I never knew she was a gym junkie and particularly a Body Pump fan.
I signed up at Fitness First in Paragon on 21 May 2015 because I was tired of exercising on my own. I am never the sort that requires peer presence to motivate me to work out, my sheer determination to reach a goal ...
Asian Salsa, served cold
I love salsa. When I am tired of eating salads, a salsa can really spice up the flavors. Here's my version, again using lots of Asian herbs and a twist on the dressing using homemade Thai Sweet Chili Sauce. For the salsa ingredients, you can add whatever you want in there - be creative and good way to use up pantry ingredients!
