My Singapore

Tucked between the Bintang singlets of Seminyak and crushed concrete of Kuala Lumpur lies one of my favourite cities. While the artificial landscape and manicured street hawkers do make me question the authenticity (and price!), Singapore and I are besties. Maybe it’s because you can drink water from the tap or that it’s just enough Asia with just enough West or that the chicken rice is just so f’ing good, I’m sold either way. Shout out to my local expat ladies for assisting me with this list to ensure you’ll be sipping on only the best sling’s with the best satay…

EVERYTHING at Burnt Ends (this is the first on the list for a reason!!)
Chilli Crab Burger at Artistry
Craft beer at satay at Smith Street Taps
Mushroom gnocchi and flatbreads at Mozza
Japanese craft beer and izakaya at JiBiru
All the tapas at Esquina
Xiao Long Baos at Din Tai Fung
Chicken Rice at Tian Tian at Maxwell Hawker Centre
Pork Crackling at Meat Smith
Whole grilled snapper at sprouts at Camp Kilo
Corn on the cob at Lucha Loco
Coffee & wifi at Punch
Peking duck from the Gods at The Flying Squirrel
Polenta & kebabs at Fat Prince
Cheesymite scrolls at Bicky & Brew
Health in a bowl at Sarnies
Cocktails hipsters at Braci
Homely Greek deliciousness at Gyromania
Cheese for dinner at Gemmills
Japanese party at Neon Pigeon

Hey there

This is a collection of tastes from my tables abroad… wherever that may be. I spend my days professionally food writing my nights recipe developing flavours from my adventures.

I am at my happiest when sharing food with my favourite people. I care deeply about nourishing our bodies with goodness. I don’t believe in dieting, I don’t believe in fads, I believe in feeding your body simply with home made deliciousness.

Dear Satay Lovers, You have not lived until you ha Dear Satay Lovers,
You have not lived until you have dunked a prawn cracker into homemade Indonesian satay sauce.

Anyone from Perth over the age of 30 may remember Anyone from Perth over the age of 30 may remember the Fresh Provisions sticky meatballs. I’ll jog your memory: you’re 19, it’s 2am, you’ve just left clubba and you head to fresh provs because HJ’s is closed. This and maybe that Broccoli Salad 🙌🏼 in any case, this is mid 30’s Holly recreating her youth. You’re welcome! Sticky Honey Soy Meatballs on the blog.
With the intention and need to use the never endin With the intention and need to use the never ending over supply of sweet potato in every Hello Fresh meal, I managed to lake the lead and turn dessert into dinner and it’s holy freakin shit amazing. It’s like a sticky cinnabon bun, meets sweet potato pie, meets smiling Canadians … except for dinner. Maple Sweet Potato Soup With Bacon on the blog 🇨🇦

Apple & Pineapple Muffins to cosy up your Saturday arvo.

Literally, breaking news. What can I say, we’re cute and we like to get on board with the idea of cozy. Clearly I am no exception. Chicken soup for the mind, heart and soul coming right up…

Things we know about ordering takeaway Chinese foo Things we know about ordering takeaway Chinese food: 

1) You will inevitably receive an oversupply of wooden chopsticks. Obviously this is because you over-ordered and you only have yourself to blame for the restaurants assumption. 

2) The food will be mildly OK. Just good enough for you to finish you container but not good enough to alleviate the feeling of takeaways remorse.

3) No lessons will be learnt and you will repeat this two weeks later. I call this Regrettable Chinese Takeaway.

So all in all, it’s probably just easier to grab some steak and a broccoli and sort this one yourself (or until next week when you Regrettable Chinese Takeaway all over again).
