Favourite Spot

My favourite spot on the planet - smack in the middle of Tekka market, savouring fragrant and delicious mutton briyani, Nasi goreng putih and tulang soup. 

I love hanging out here because it's a microcosm of multi cultural Singapore. We have the local Chinese and Indians, foreign labour, tourist of all sorts, local expatriates etc all tucking into their favourite Indian food. Obviously many came from afar and this could be their weekly food pilgrimage. 

Sipping my Teh Tarik slowly, I relish every moment and marveled at how successful Singapore is in amalgamating different ethnicities into a melting pot of kindness and tolerance. Thank you Mr. Lee. 

Sweet and Satisfying

I am not a sweet tooth person and much prefer savoury food. However I do have occasional cravings for sweet and decadent desserts, especially if my weight is way too low. My body was basically screaming for sugar. 

We had a nice after dinner treat of a salted caramel brownie and apple crumble at Craftsmen. Rich and moist, the brownie was such a wonder to savour. The apple crumble was crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside, oozing with Apple induced sweetness, with a hint of cinnamon. 

Truffle truffle truffle

I had the most amazing cold angel hair pasta with truffle and clams. It was the day's special at Da Luca. 

Rich, smooth, decadent and complimented by the sweetness of the clams. Every mouthful was a joy to behold. We mopped up all the truffle bits with our bread since it will be an insult to waste any of it. 

The best pasta we have had for a long time. 

Books, music and food

My restaurant will bring you to places in your head through the ultimate triumvirate of senses - what you see, hear and taste through books, music and food. 

So powerful and infinite.
