Recipe • Luncheon Meat & Potatoes in Baked Beans Sauce

Image
The hubby spotted a can of baked beans in our kitchen cabinet, told me it's been awhile since he last ate Luncheon Meat & Potatoes in Baked Beans Sauce and requested for the dish. This is a common dish in most Singapore home-cooking and often seen at economic rice stalls (杂菜饭).

Recipe • Chicken Potato Stew (using Hainan Chicken Rice mix)

Image
For our young family of 4, it can sometimes be quite difficult to use a full packet of premix sauce at one go while it's even more troublesome to blend shallots,ginger etc when recipes call for it! So I usually still choose premix and use the remaining paste in the pack to cook another dish the next day! Convenient, indeed! For this recipe, I used Dancing Chef™ Hainanese Chicken Rice Paste to cook Chicken Potato Stew . This stew can be packed into lunch box too! Need another recipe to use up the remaining paste?

Travel • Shiro-Hige Cream Puff Shop (Dec 2017)

Image
This is a quick post of our visit to Shiro-hige Cream Puff Shop last December, which is also known as Totoro Cream Puff shop. There was some construction along the way from Setagaya-Daita station then. However, you won't miss this TOLO signboard. While we were not the biggest fan of this character from Studio Ghibli's animation, we still put it in our itinerary simply because "we were already in Tokyo and we missed it on our previous Tokyo trip!" (*_*) FOMO? Whatever. Anyway I booked us a visit to Suntory Brewery  (⬅Click to read more) that afternoon, since the route was pretty straight forward from the cream puff shop, I decided to put these two on the same day. Ain't they adorable? It was well worth a trip to this tiny bakery, unlike some character cafes which served gimmicky food, these cream puffs were big and delicious! We bought their regular flavors: Chocolate, Strawberry & Vanilla custard (Or was it Chocolate, Green Tea & ...

Travel • Suntory Musashino Brewery Tour (Dec 2017)

Image
We went to Suntory Musashino Brewery on Day 7 of our Tokyo  vacation, after getting cream puffs at Shiro-Hige . This route was quite straight forward so I recommend putting them on the same day. The tour at Suntory's beer factory is free of charge! ♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪ Reservation is strongly recommended to avoid a wasted trip. Booking is available through their website in Japanese language, do get ready an online translator app if you are not proficient in the language. (I'll update the booking procedures soon.) Otherwise phone reservation is available too, in English. Link is at the end of the post. It'll take approximately 35 minutes by train if you are going to this brewery from the cream puff shop. Do note there are 2 possible routes available on Hyperdia.com , opt for the route via Meidaimae. Source: Hyperdia.com Although it required 2 transfers, it was still faster and cheaper compared to the other route via Shinjuku. Pass the overhead bridge at Bubaigawara st...
