Adventures of a Greedy Girl

Even though I'm going for a steak dinner tonight, I can't get last night's sirloin out of my head. The vivid taste of beef, salt and charred fat. Meat with a bit of a chew that ultimately melted in the mouth...the memory of that sensation still haunts my thoughts and my palate. Many thanks to the wonderful folks at #5thquartersg for not giving us what we asked for! #meat #steak #sirloin #beef #beefsteak #sirloinsteak (at 5th Quarter SG)

Woke this morning needing a little comfort and found it in a bowl of handmade noodles. It had everything a greedy girl could ask for - the flavours completely balanced. Tossed in a slightly sweet, dark soy sauce and tangy, fiery garlic chili dip, minced pork 'balls' and crispy anchovies brought welcome pops of saltiness, while bitter-ish tapioca leaves gave a bite both in flavour and texture. #noodles #oodlesofnoodles #chinesefood #singaporefood #comfortfood #soulfood (at Poon Nah Mee Hoon Kuey @ City Plaza)

Give me the perfect slice of crust and I'll give you a kiss. #pizza #whitepizza #pizzatime #flatbread #bake #bread #baking #garlicbread (at Cicheti)

Put out the Christmas cookies (Earl grey and Lavender no less) a little too late for Santa so I just had to finish them off myself. Nothing more indulgent than a sweet and a sip of wine in bed. #cookies #wine #christmascookies #glassofwine #candle #candles #interiors #interiorstyle #lighting #lightingdesign #glass #glasses

Still on the topic of luxury: When you combine velvety coconut milk with the explosive flavours of chili, turmeric, blue ginger, candlenut, lemongrass; then proceed to mix it with fresh fish meat and chargrill it in a banana leaf, the richness you experience on your palate is one that's truly hard to beat. #otak #singaporefood #fishcake #fishcakes #bananaleaf #spicy #spicyfood #comfortfood #southeastasia #southeastasianfood (at Pow Sing Restaurant)

Singapore scenes. Haji Lane on a Sunday evening. Sweet, balmy breeze. Drinks on the sidewalk.

I have decided to live and eat more healthily in 2016. But from now til then, there are still a few indulgent days left. Time left to enjoy a plate of Hainanese Chicken Rice for instance. Poached chicken, yellow skin glistening with its own oils, rice cooked in chicken stock and fat, chili and ginger pounded and served with thick black sauce, up the satisfaction ante a hundred fold. #chicken #chickenrice #chickenandrice #hainanesechickenrice #singaporefood #foodandtravel (at Pow Sing Restaurant)

It's Christmas, we deserve a little luxury. Avocado toast with a dollop of lumpfish caviar is creamy and salty, rich and luxurious all at once #avocado #avocadotoast #christmasbreakfast #caviar

Quality time on Christmas Day with mom means both of us demolishing a small gingerbread house. Yum! #gingerbread #gingerbreadhouse #christmas #christmasday

Festive red and green of sambal covered grilled fish on banana leaf. Ho! Ho! Ho! But seriously, this sambal is so tasty it can be eaten with plain white rice - and that's all you'd need to make the holiday a good one! #sambal #fish #pomfret #holidaycooking #seafood (at Cookery Magic)

To one and all, a very Merry Christmas! #christmas #merrychristmas #christmasstar #christmaslights #star #lightoftheworld #lighting #lightinspired #lightingdesign #lights #light

Rewriting Christmas carol lyrics: Pomfrets roasting on an open fire...on banana leaves. Cooking them slowly in anticipation for the spicy sambal that we'll be spreading atop these beautiful, silvery fish. #grill #BBQ #fish #barbeque #seafood (at Cookery Magic)

Chicken dinner tonight. Learning to cook Ayam Pangang Kechup - spicy soya sauce chicken grilled on banana leaves - two days before Christmas. Celebration man! #chicken #grilledchicken #chickendinner #winnerwinnerchickendinner (at Cookery Magic)

The wheels on the bus go round and round... Huge, farm-style loaves of sourdough bread stand temptingly in the window, beckoning even the strictest carb-free dieter into the the depths of the bakery. It's great consolation that the bread is really very good and worth every calorie. #bread #baking #baker #bakery #bakerylife #baked #breads #bake (at Baker & Cook)

Happy days! Always, when you have good food and friends. Tender sticks of chicken and mutton dipped into still-warm peanut gravy, accompanied by sharp red onion and cool, crunchy cucumber #satay #skewers #supper (at Spize@Bedok)
