A weirdly-shaped grape! More like a quadraple-grape that somehow didn't separate itself. Looks like a mini-pumpkin eh?

Butcher’s Block New Autumn-Winter IMUA Tasting Menu

~Invited Session~ Butcher’s Block’s signature IMUA Tasting Menu spotlights fresh produce grown in Butcher’s Block very own farm here in Singapore. We tried the newest Autumn-Winter version and was blown away at the artistry and value delivered in a single menu. Farmd by Butcher’s Block is an indoor vertical farm using a hybrid horticulture method combining hydroponics with a thin layer of peat extracted deep below the earth’s surface. This method of farming uses 90% less water than conventional farming and being located in Singapore, reduces carbon footprint compared to imported produce. Produce grown in this farm are specially selected by Chef Jordan and grown at optimal conditions before being freshly harvested for use in Butcher’s Block’s wood-fired delights. Dom Perignon Vintage 2012 We started off with a stellar Dom Perignon Vintage 2012. Although considered somewhat an entry level champagne in the Dom Perignon stable, it...

Taiwan, Hualien and Taichung Souvenirs

Pineapple Tarts were the main must-buys in Taipei. Truth be told I had a laundry list of places to get the pineapple cakes or tarts (however they are known)...which ranged from Chia Te to Lee Chi or even SunnyHills but none of which were near us. Headed straight for Jiu Zhen Nan, available at the airport at the highest recommendation of a dear friend who loves Taipei as much as I love Hongkong. Royalty packaging - from the purple box to ingot like boxes. At NT400 for 12 pieces, this was pricey. Yet worth every penny - rich butter fragrance engulfs the senses, the pastry by itself is divine. Pineapple jam so pulpy and decadent. If the expiry date were any longer, I would have lugged back boxes! Travelling out of Taipei to the other countys proved to be quite a rewarding experience, though some would insist "see one see all", I beg to differ on that. Hualien for Taroko Gorge and Cingshuei Cliff while Taichung was for Sun Moon Lake though Cingjing Farm did not mate...

Lucky Garden @ Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur

Lucky Garden is so studded with food gems, I would recommend spending a good part of your afternoon in KL checking this part of Bangsar out. The bewitching hour would be anytime after 1pm. Street hawkers are uncommon in Singapore yet in Malaysia, they are a dime too many. Infact, I had a field day checking them out and was glad to give up cafe hopping for this. Fancy rojak at a makeshift cart under the scorching sun anyone? Also spotted was a soya bean truck that has a number of trucks in other locations. How about some love from Penang? I'm not sure how chendol and indian rojak would work out together. This was the elusive stall that had us waiting until 330pm for its grand appearance. Word has it that the kuihs from this uncle's motorcycle is Bangsar's best and it's exact location is infront of Nam Chuan Coffee Shop. How apt. The uncle wearing a helmet appears out of nowhere (probably somewhere but I did not take notice) and starts putting his st...
