Smoked Salmon Carbonara
Post Easter, I decided it was time to try out some spring pastas (despite the fact Singapore is essentially season-less). My favorite spring pasta recipe is Pasta with Smoked Salmon & Peas in a Dill Cream Sauce. I decided to try something a little different and found a recipe for Smoked Salmon Carbonara by BBC … Continue reading
Baked Sea Bass
After weeks of family visits and work-related traveling, it was a relief to finally be able to retreat to hermitville aka my couch. I was long overdue for some hibernation… My first weekend back home, I went straight to my local market to stock up on enough food so that I wouldn’t have to … Continue reading
Roasted Leg of Lamb
Happy Easter all! I wish all the sugar shakes to my egg-hunting-champion-and-bday-twin Alex! This Easter Sunday post is dedicated to the roast leg of lamb Alex’s mother cooked for us many years ago… and I am posting now out of nostalgia (not because I have actually tried to cook it myself but I did watch … Continue reading
Latkes and Eggs
Any reader of this blog knows that I’m obsessed with poached eggs. Jen and I have made so many iterations from Thomas Keller’s Roasted Asparagus with Poached Eggs and Prosciutto, to Thanksgiving Leftovers Eggs Benedict, to Poached Eggs with Tomato and Salmon, to California Eggs Benedict. The potato latke, though, is an homage to the … Continue reading
Avocado and Egg Pizzette
In a typical weekend breakfast scramble (pun sort of intended) to throw an egg on top of something delicious, I saw that I had all the ingredients for guacamole, but didn’t just want to eat eggs with a side of guac. Enter… avocado pizzette. It not only sounds fancy, but looks more presentable as well. … Continue reading

Thanksgiving Eve in Singapore
It’s been over a year since I had moved to Singapore, and I am glad to say that I am starting to feel a lot more settled here. With that, I decided it was about time to introducing some new traditions to my expat life. Back in New York, Natalya and I had hosted Thanksgiving … Continue reading
Sautéed Okra with Garlic
Okra, also know as lady’s fingers, is quite popular in Mediterranean and Asian cuisines. I have usually eaten them in stews or curries, but I think this vegetable is delicious enough to stand on its own. I picked up a bunch at my local wet market and decided to do a simple and light saute. … Continue reading
Cold Soba with Thai Basil Pesto
I adore cold soba, and every time I shop at Daiso (only the best Japanese $2 store in the world), I go a bit overboard with buying every brand of soba available. Generally, I have been using the noodles to add some carb-y substance to my salads; this Soba Salad recipe my mom makes is … Continue reading
