2016 marks my 4th consecutive year being an esteemed guest of the Norwegian Seafood Gala Dinner and this event is one of the annual highlights of my social life! As of 2016 I've…
A firm believer and an active advocate of eating well, I prepare my own meals, load up on the greens, opt for natural ingredients whenever possible and observe a low carb, low sugar diet.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I am as much of a glutton as any typical food-obsessed Malaysian/Singaporean. I’m not a goat nor a rabbit!
Trust me, I enjoy our local hawker dishes but I’ve always believed in moderation.
There is only that much grease and carb-heavy dishes one can enjoy before bearing the consequences.

With the memories of Botanica Deli’s beef sandwich and scrumptious salads still lingering in my mind, I stepped into Botanica + Co with high expectations.
While Botanica Deli (as its name implies) is a cafe providing convenient, affordable meals (soups, salads and sandwiches), Botanica Deli’s environment tends to be more informal and while food is still freshly prepared and served to you (minus service charge), you would have to order and pay at the counter.

I won’t judge if you love your Nutella; after all everybody has personal preferences but if you’re seeking for a healthier alternative and if you love chocolate, do give our Mud Slide a shot.

As you may know I’ve been actively experimenting and researching on healthy recipes and more wholesome alternatives to our usual daily dishes.
One of it which was successful (I had many failures!) is the cauliflower crust to be used as pizza base.
I’ve been busy lately. So much so that I haven’t been able to update my blog as much as I would like to.
Lately I’ve ran out of things to blog about too. That’s not quite possible actually, but due to the lack of time I haven’t been able to put things (my mind) together to string proper sentences. Sigh.
