Weekend in Batam: Documenting Our 3-Days Family Adventure

My Inspiration Behind This Trip I’ve always held onto a personal goal: to bring my parents on at least one proper trip out of Singapore every year. Something that would give them that genuine holiday excitement; that specific thrill of packing a proper suitcase and getting their passports stamped at the border. My dad actually has a long bucket list of places he’d love to see. But realistically, time and age are catching up, and we have to be very mindful of my mum’s physical pace, mental and stamina as well. Long-haul flights just aren't as feasible anymore, so I have to be intentional about finding destinations that are comfortable yet exciting for them. The spark for this specific trip happened when I passed my dad a pile of Batam travel brochures. As we were flipping through, one specific image caught all of our attention: the Pink Beach .  When I headed down to the travel agency to get more details, my mind was set. Not only did the itinerary offer a perfect, manageable pace f...

#SgEatWithUs ~ Celebrates By the Bay

Ever since I got married, I appreciate more home-cooked food. Because you left that comfort zone (childhood nest) to live with someone else you call Husband, to set up your own family. So once a while, I will head back home for mum's cooking. On weekends, I cook at home too, just for me and my husband. Still in the learning stage (newbie home cook), but this is how you grow out from your usual self.

Was quite delighted when #SgEatWithUs team wrote in to invite me for their event this coming weekend. I can't wait to see what others cook at home because sometimes, I really will run out of idea what to cook on weekend. As you can see on my blog, once awhile I make a breakthrough from normal stir-fried veggie to Sambal Kang Kong (if you follow me on Instagram). Then from herbal soup to Egg Drop soup or ABC soup. To me, all these basic ones I must learn. 

The only time where I cook together with my bestie was Chinese New Year months back when she and her family came for visit to my place. The feeling was so different. First, you cook with your bestie and exchange tips on how it should cook and etc. Second, we get to taste one another's cooking. Third, it bonds us even further through the fun time in the kitchen, be it washing or preparing or cooking. Conversation never stops. 

What #SgEatWithUs hopes is to bring the communities together through homecooked food. And that is what I did. I do hope one day, I can do a potluck with my friends and family. This is exciting.

In conjunction with the Jubilee Celebration, a food carnival coming your way this weekend, bringing you homecooked dishes to sample by just purchasing the food cards valued $10, $20 and $50. What's more? Get to watch live cooking demonstration and performance by local musicians. It is a fun-filled day with food to fill your hungry tummy up! Mark your calendar!
