Ju Shin Jung

Around a month ago, we had a farewell dinner for one of my helpers who was in charge of looking after my granny. A few weeks after my granny passed on, her mother in law passed on too, and her husband wanted her to go back to Indonesia, so we arranged for her to go back in mid Feb. Before that, we asked her what she would like to have before heading back. And she requested for Korean food! Haha. I tend to cook Korean food quite a bit whenever I'm cooking in the kitchen, and I also make my own kimchi. On one occasion, I had leftover radishes so I cubed and salted them too to make radish kimchi. She totally loved it and so then, whenever I made kimchi, I made sure to have enough radish so as to make some radish kimchi for her too. ^^

We decided to go to Ju Shin Jung at West Coast area for a Korean feast. I've been there two or three times before and I loved the food there. The place serves up pretty good Korean barbeque, kimchi jjigae and kimchi pancake, so I suggested that we head there for dinner cos I know we wouldn't be disappointed.

Mont Blanc

I met up with Evan for lunch and a planned baking session - subject unknown. She was going to bring some of her baking books so we can look through and decide, in the end however, we decided to make Mont Blanc instead. Initially, as we were both entremets fans, we had hoped to make one, but due to time constraint, we decided on something else instead. I had always been wanting to attempt to make Mont Blanc, but was kinda afraid to. And Evan's done it before, so what better to do so when I have someone who's familiar with it by my side?

House @ Dempsey (revisited)

I seem to be doing a lot of revisiting of restaurants lately as there are just the couple of handful of brunch places that are well known in Singapore. My friends and I headed down to House at Dempsey recently for a major chill-out long brunch session. Of course, after my first visit that left me a good impression, I was more than happy to go along with the location.

Minced meat mushrooms noodles (滷肉面)

I was craving something saltish and meaty for lunch. And I have no idea how or why, but 滷肉饭 came to mind. A combination of salty and sweet, it brings together some of my fave ingredients - mushrooms and meat.

Graze

My girlfriend was back from Melbourne for the Chinese New Year break and we had to catch up before she fly off again! Who knows when is her next trip back as she's already graduated from uni and is currently working there. As we grow older, it's getting harder to stay in contact with groups of friends when some are stationed overseas for school/work. So we make sure that we meet up at least once everytime she's back in Singapore.
