Ice Cream Fun

Ice Cream season is here! Unless you are in Singapore like me where it's ice cream weather all year round :) I rarely eat ice cream these days but I will definitely take a scoop if it comes in this porcelain cone by Virginia Sin. Sure to make the summer season sweeter!

Complete the the super cute wooden ice cream spoons from SucreShop.

Weekend Love: Personal Pizza

I just enjoyed the first relaxing weekend in months. I went a little something like the poster by Emma Bergqvist.  

Our laziness to go out on Saturday night turned in to a fun pizza party. Personalized pizzas with just your favorite toppings!

I think my next dinner party will include a diy pizza station ;)

Weekend Love: Green Apples n Brie

Welcome back to a new week. I had a nice slow weekend with time to make myself some breakfast. Green apple x brie slightly toasted on bread.

I ended the weekend with a nice chill afternoon at the Book Cafe. Have you been there? It's a cafe in Robertson Quay with a little library and a spread of latest magazines for you to enjoy over some food and drinks. One of my favorite weekend joints.

Feast, A Dinner Journal

Feast is a beautiful story book by photograher, Donal Shekan. It takes you through a journey of gathering ingredients and putting it all together to host a springtime Feast.  It features the origin of each item from the table down to the ceramic bowl for the soup and floral arrangements. See how it all comes together on a table set inside a charming old church. A lovely concept and a romantic showcasing of Ireland's finest.  

Experience it here.

Cheesy Infographic

I've never posted infographics on my blog for many reasons, but I couldn't ignore this one. I loove love cheese. So much that I want to move out of Singapore because cheese is just so expensive here. The designer behind this "cornucopia of cheese" went all out to give you the break down on 66 types of cheese.

"A charting of 66 delightful cheeses from around the world, assembled into one wondrous wheel"

Delfts Toast

Delft Porcelain Patterned Toaster by the Minale-Maeda team from Rotterdam. I love anything that adds a beautiful touch to something ordinary. I could make the most fabulous grilled cheese sandwich with this.

Inspired by: Kokblog

The internet is full of food blogs by anyone from moms to celebrity chefs to just hungry people. The popular sites usually share one thing in common and that's beautiful, enticing photographs of food. But here's Kokblog by Johanna Kindvall. Definitely successful, but with absolutely no photographs! She introduces Swedish cooking through just simple, sweet illustrations. I love it!!

Weekend Love: Cherry tomatoes

Hope everyone is coming back from a healthy, happy weekend! I started the weekend by making myself a super easy breakfast. Just olive oil dipped cherry tomatoes over a thick layer of cream cheese on baguette. Complete with a pinch of salt n pepper. Simply delicious :)

Enjoy with a hot cup of tea for a lazy saturday morning ♡

Inspired by: Raspberri Cupcakes

Anyone planning to bake over the weekend? If not, here's something that might change your mind. Raspberri Cupcakes is a food blog from Sydney with the cutest baked goodies presented in the sweetest photos. I'm inspired!

Speaking of raspberries, I love them in my dessert and drinks but why are they so expensive in Singapore!?  -_-''

Tokyo eats

Looks like I spent my entire Japan trip taking photos of food... so here are my top 3 picks from everything I ate in Tokyo during the 5 days!

  #3   Gramercy New York tart topped with an generousdose of my favorite brand of Japanese strawberries.  It's like heaven on a crust. mmmmmm....

  #2   本城 is a restaurant located in Setagaya-ward serving beautiful authentic Japanese food. It's a pretty small place and I hear you need reservations weeks in advance for lunch. Lucky for me my mom is friends with the owner, I get to visit every time I travel home. But each visit is always different from the last as every dish is meticulously designed to serve the best ingredients of that season in the best way possible. 

 

  #1    I had a dinner party to see all my friend in Tokyo and one of them booked the 石頭楼 for me.  It's a very popular sesame oil steamboat restaurant and the food was so perfectly delicious for a cold winter night.  Only problem, they're located inside a condo with no signs and almost impossible to find. So good luck ;)   

Hokkaido seafood!

I guess my Japan week is turning into food week ;) And here comes more! So obviously we had to have seafood in Hokkaido.  We stumbled upon this restaurant かみ磯 where they serve live squid. It can't get fresher then the chef pulling a squid out of the tank and preparing it in front of you eyes :)

Next day we headed to the Nijo Fishmarket for some souvenir shopping and lunch. Instead of the famous seafood bowls we went to a little area behind one of the shops where owner serve you fresh seafood you select from the shop.  She cooks it up for you in her little kitchen and everything was amazing. 

Sapporo Bier Garten

On the second day of our Hokkaido trip we headed into the city of Sapporo. One of the places we really enjoyed was the Sapporo Bier Garten! It's a museum plus three restaurants located inside the old Sapporo beer factory.

You can learn the history of Sapporo beer and also of the city itself.  But the best part was hands down the Genghis Khan grill they serve in their giant beer hall.  It's a lamb barbeque with veggies and it's one of Hokkaido's signature food. Beer lovers and meat eaters, knock yourself out cause it's free flow!!!

Hokkaido: Jyozankei

Welcome to Japan week! I recently took a week off and traveled home to Japan so I have lots of photos to share. I'm going to begin with my 3 day mini holiday in Hokkaido with my husband. Our trip started with a beautiful day in an area called 定山渓 (Jyozankei).

Jyozankei is very convenient if are visiting Sapporo but want to squeeze in a ski day or a stay at the hot spring resorts away from the city. We wanted to do both and headed first to the Sapporo Kokusai Skiing Resort. 

After an intense afternoon ski session, we took a 30 minute bus ride to an amazing hot spring resort called Jyozankei Daiichi Hotel.  There was a hot spring bath with a snow mountain view right in our room! ぜいたく～ Great food, staff and rooms! I super recommend it!!!

I'll be back tomorrow with my day in Sapporo city!
