There's nothing like diving into a juicy culinary adventure, especially when you're a bit of a novice cook like me! Experimenting with new recipes can be such a delightful adventure for taste buds and palate, even if they may not always turn out picture perfect.

I've recently started playing around with some spice combinations, inspired by the aromatic cuisines of the Middle East. The warmth of cinnamon and cardamom, the kick of chili flakes and the earthy notes of cumin seeds have been my recent obsessions. They're so fragrant and really take simple dishes to another level. I'm especially loving Moroccan cuisine at the moment - the flavors are incredibly vibrant and lively.

Also, as a busy mom with a young child, I've become quite the whiz with my instant pot! It's an absolute godsend for quick, one-pot meals that are flavorful and hassle-free. I can throw in all the ingredients and let it do its magic while I tend to my son or sneaked in some workout time.

Some of my other kitchen must-haves are my cast iron pan, which gives my dishes a lovely crispy finish, and my mortar and pestle for when I want to prepare paste and spices from scratch. There's something quite therapeutic about pounding those spices and aromatics.

When it comes to eateries, I'm always on the lookout for quaint cafes and hole-in-the-wall spots that serve up tasty, crave-worthy dishes. Singapore has plenty of those hidden gems, especially along our bustling hawker centers. You'll never guess the deliciousness you can find in some of these casual stalls!

What about you all? Any tasty discoveries or kitchen must-haves you're loving right now? I'd love to hear about your culinary adventures too!

I usually stick to dishes that I'm familiar with and good at, like my famous (at least among my friends) beef rendang which is a dry curry dish originating from Malaysia. It never fails to impress because of its complex flavors and fall-off-the-bone tender beef.

But lately, I've been craving something new and different, so last week I attempted Japanese-style okonomiyaki. They're savory pancakes that have a variety of ingredients and are often made with either seafood or meat. Mine had a good kick of spice and a whole lot of flavor - a delicious, unusual treat for my palate. It's a fun dish to cook and assemble, but I found the preparation time to be longer than expected, so it's not something I'd make on a busy weeknight.

I'm eyeing mole recipes next, that delicious Mexican chocolate sauce with spices is a flavor combination I'm keen to try! Also, I'll never turn down any opportunity for some good old charcuterie - those cured meats and cheeses are a weakness of mine.

Beef rendang is a great choice; the deep flavours from the spice paste and the tender meat make it a stand-out dish. It's fantastic that you've found a go-to meal that's tried and tested among your friends!

The okonomiyaki adventure sounds delicious and spicy - a nice change from the ordinary. I can relate to the surprise a good charcuterie board can bring; it's always a delightful, indulgent treat. The mole sauce you mentioned also has my curiosity piqued; that rich chocolatey flavor combined with spices is an irresistible match.

It's enjoyable to indulge in such culinary delights and explore new flavors and tastes occasionally!

the rendang is a crowd-pleaser for sure! It's fun to explore these new dishes, but it's good to come back to the old reliable too. The next time I make the rendang, I'll probably add some additional spices just to mix things up a little.

Have you heard of any interesting recipes or foodie spots in Singapore you think I shouldn't miss? Something that's really worth the indulgence!

There are so many great eating options in Singapore; it's hardly feasible - or healthy! - to try them all. But some real gems come to mind when you mention unique culinary experiences.

For a real treat, especially for seafood lovers, there's this hidden gem on East Coast Lagoon Food Village that serves up the most amazing grilled seafood. It's a humble stall with a no-frills atmosphere, but the seafood platter is fresh and delectable. From juicy Prawns to sweet crab legs, it's a seafood paradise.

Another favorite of mine is a quirky cafe in Tiong Bahru, a vintage-style spot known for their creative toast art. They serve up delicious, Instagrammable meals, with quirky designs on their toasts and interesting flavor combinations. Think Nutella and Wasabi Toast or even Red Velvet French Toast - a real treat for the senses, and a fun spot to bring kids too!

Also worth checking out are the night Safari's Dining With The Wildlife experiences. It's an intimate, reservation-only dinner overlooking the safari park. The food is international cuisine with a local twist, and the animals add a unique dining atmosphere.

These are some indulgent options indeed - perfect for a real treat!
 
I've heard about the East Coast Lagoon Food Village; it's supposedly a haven for seafood lovers, and the prices are wallet-friendly too.

Sustainability and environmental consciousness are definitely on the rise in Singapore's food scene. I've been keeping an eye out for eco-friendly spots too!

There's this lovely cafe near King George's Avenue, run by this adorable husband-and-wife team. They serve delicious dishes focused on local, seasonal produce, with a weekly changing menu. Everything is plant-based, and they reduce waste creatively by Upcycling unused parts of the produce. Even their cutlery and straws are compostable!

Another find is this chic, modern Asian restaurant in the heart of Singapore's CBD that sources sustainable seafood only. They have an extensive menu of creative cocktails too, which changes monthly, focusing on seasonal ingredients.

These places are a must-visit for anyone interested in eco-friendly dining!

Hope you have a fantastic weekend ahead!

I've been to that plant-based cafe near King George's Avenue! What a delightful find, aren't the husbands dishes absolutely delicious? It's impressive how they manage to whip up such hearty plant-based meals. I'm so glad you mentioned it; I must return there soon!

I haven't heard of the sustainable seafood restaurant in CBD, though. That sounds like another intriguing spot to visit and a great recommendation for anyone who works nearby.

Thanks for sharing these wonderful finds. As we embrace the new normal, it's good to know that we have such terrific eco-friendly options around town. Have a brilliant weekend!
