New England Fish Chowder with Ciabatta Toasties
This was my first time making fish chowder at home. I was quite intrigued to try this New England Fish Chowder with Ciabatta Toasties when I saw it as one of the choices for the Chefs Plate meal selection for the week of May 11.

BCL Momo Puri Jelly Mask
This Japanese sheet mask smelled SO fragrant! It’s definitely the thing I noticed first when I pulled it out from the pouch. BCL Momo Puri Jelly Mask is yet another Japanese mask I picked up while at the HK Airport before boarding. The slim box package only contains four sheet masks (making this a very luxurious one). It’s a jelly mask, something I don’t think I have tried before. It has “peach ceramide water and Continue reading
Meatballs & Cheesy Corn Polenta with basil marinara sauce
I was really looking forward to creating and tasting this dish! I enjoy hearty meatballs and cheese and especially polenta.

As always, Continue reading

Weekend pizza party at home
This was actually only my second time ordering pizza to my home. (The first time was like 20 years ago from Pizza Pizza. XD)
I was craving for pizza and we decided to order from Domino’s Pizza (I’ve eaten Domino’s pizza at parties or work but definitely never ordered it for myself before Continue reading
Takeout from Perfect Chinese Restaurant at 4386 Sheppard Ave E in Scarborough
After we finally caved in and ordered takeout two weeks ago, the seal was broken and we kind of let loose on ordering takeout a little bit. It had been a few months since our last proper dim sum outing at a restaurant and because dim sum is difficult and tedious to make at home, we sought out a popular Chinese restaurant in Scarborough to satisfy this Continue reading
