Making the Most of your Local Restaurants

>> Thursday, April 5, 2012



 How many restaurants are there in your vicinity? Chances are that you have a Chinese or Indian restaurant tucked away around the corner, or maybe a good little French bistro or Italian restaurant on the high street. In this multi-ethnic society more choices are available from Turkish, Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese sushi, or even a dish of Swedish meatballs in a certain home ware store will open our world a bit more. It gives everyone a chance to try out something different.

There is probably a local restaurant offering excellent food stamped with the hallmark of fine quality like Michelin stars or AA rosettes, to suit the more discerning palate (and wallet).
When it comes to food, the world is at our fingertips. Food has become synonymous with big business. Magazines and TV programmes are entirely devoted to food, often offering prestigious awards. There are hundreds of TV chefs. Book shelves are groaning with the weight of cookery books. As a result, we have become more discerning when it comes to food.

Everywhere we look, restaurants are tempting us to enter and try their fare. When it comes to eating out we are spoilt for choice, and there’s something to suit every pocket and occasion.
Most restaurants now offer the facility to pay by either
credit card or charge card, enabling people to splash out once in a while without worrying if they have enough cash in their wallets/purses.

There is so much more on offer now, compared to 20-30 years ago, when we were stuck in a time warp with our prawn cocktail, Cordon Bleu Coq au Vin and Black Forest gateaux.
How times have changed, owing to the influx of immigrants who have started up restaurants and have enabled us to try out world foods.

With world-wide travel a norm, most people have a wider experience of sampling foreign foods and often like to recreate that holiday feeling by going to places like Spanish tapas bars to relive the delights of foods they have tried.

Maybe you are lucky enough to live in a gastro tourist location, crammed with fantastic eateries to suit all budgets, where the most is made from using local ingredients, like home reared cattle, fresh fish, organically grown fruit and vegetables.

Pop into your local restaurants and see what is on offer. It might not be like Orchard Road in Singapore, littered with eateries, but you might be pleasantly surprised.

Holy Week Food Challenge: Holy Wednesday

>> Wednesday, April 4, 2012



Today was a busy day, and I have missed eating a NO MEAT meal. In fact, my aunt and I ate some pork Humba for lunch, and pizza smothered with sausages and pepperoni for snacks. So, as soon as I came home this afternoon, I asked my sister to go with me for some NO MEAT trip to the grocery. 

We bought frozen fish from Save More.  By dinner time, here is what we prepared for dinner.

 This has been a favorite, but I love this even more when cooked a little burnt on the sides..

I love this NO MEAT meal, hehehe..
