Little National Hotel Sydney is the #1 top-rated hotel in Sydney at TripAdvisor. Newly opened in 2020, we read rave reviews about its modern smart design and prime location. Not knowing what to expect as it was our first trip post-COVID, we decided to stick to a safe choice and booked our stay at this hotel for our 5-day trip.  Location Located right above the Wynyard Station and just minutes away from Bangaroo and the popular Circular Quay, we knew this was a great choice the moment we reached the hotel. Numerous cafes and restaurants are within walking distance, and Sydney's key ..read more

How a Good Pillow Should Be A good pillow is one that supports the neck well, and we have found the right one in Origin Mattress' Origin Superior Coolmax Latex Pillow! As part of our mattress purchase (another brand) for our new home, we were provided a pair of pillows but they proved to be rather rudimentary. It is easy to assess pillows' quality when you try them out for a night, and we clearly noticed how supportive the Origin Mattress' latex pillow was. Latex Foam Material Latex foams are denser than the usual run-of-the-mill ones. A latex pillow moulds to the shape of our head ..read more

Recently, the hedgehog celebrated his birthday at Summer Pavilion, a fine dining restaurant that serves Cantonese cuisine at Ritz Carlton Singapore.  We chose the "Peony" 5-course Dinner Set at S$128++ (excluding Chinese tea). Most dishes hit the right spot, and we would highly recommend this set. 1) Appetiser For starters, we had the Barbecued Iberico Pork with Honey Sauce and Wok-fried Prawn in Soy Sauce. The iberico was tender and juicy while the prawn was succulent and flavourful too. Standard stuff, albeit done to perfection. 2) Fish The Poached Dong Xing Grouper Fille ..read more

<Promo Code is included at the end of this article!> Something I like about granola is its versatility and convenience. Versatility - in a sense that it can be paired up with a plethora of other ingredients; and convenience - as it is so easy to prepare for breakfasts. It is important to start the day right, with breakfasts made from natural ingredients which are free of artificial preservatives (as far as possible), so I will share 3 healthy granola-based breakfast varieties.  Revive Nutrition: A made-in-Singapore brand that delivers healthy snacks and breakfast foods ..read more

Super love these Chocolate Pecan & Walnut Tartlets! The family really likes how the double nuts add wonderful flavours and texture to these otherwise normal chocolate tarts. Apart from the pecan adorning the top, there are also crushed walnuts at the bottom of the tart too. Normal pecan tart fillings are made up of brown sugar but I switched things up with chocolate instead. I would rather gain calories from chocolate than sugar. The sugar level is quite low already (even my mum approves!), so you don't need to adjust it further. Chocolate Pecan & Walnut Tartlets using Oven Make ..read more

Mention brownies and I think of dense decadent chocolate squares served warm with vanilla ice cream.  These Double Chocolate Nutty Brownies are rich, chocolatey, fudgy and slightly crispy at the sides. Just the way I like it. I added walnuts and cashews into this batch, but feel free to add whatever nuts you have in your fridge. This recipe is sweeter than my usual ones, but hey - these are meant to be really indulgent. :)  Double Chocolate Nutty Brownies using Airfryer Adapted from Love and Lemons. Ingredients: (A)  ▪️ 100g flour ▪️ 50g cocoa powder (I use Hershey's ..read more

Since everyone's going to be at home for the next few weeks, here's another recipe for y'all! Matcha always goes well with adzuki red beans, so let's bake one such loaf cake for tea time. It is moist and has slightly bitter tinges of matcha. Love it. I made this cake using Craft Tea Fox's Barista Uji Matcha Powder. Air-flown from Uji Kyoto, these are 100% pure matcha so I don’t have to worry about additives like sugar or preservatives affecting my cake. I use this matcha powder for my own homemade Iced Matcha Latte with Honey too. Pure Hojicha powder is also available from Craft Tea Fox ..read more

Waking up early on a weekend morning has never been my thing. But after learning that Walking on Sunshine Cafe offers an All-You-Can-Eat Kroffle Buffet at only S$14.90++, we thought... why not? The Deal at S$14.90++ Kroffles refer to croissant-waffles. Made by cooking croissant dough on a waffle pan to take the shape of a waffle, this pastry base takes on the taste profile and texture of a croissant. Popularized in Korea, the kroffle is the latest cafe staple that instantly became cafe goers’ favorite food item because it goes perfectly well with their go-to cafe drinks. Available dai ..read more

I have been trying to cut down on desserts these days, but I really have a soft spot for this healthy Gluten-free Double Chocolate Almond Cake! It tastes so richly indulgent (surprisingly filling!), yet doesn't contain "nasties" like oil or refined sugar. In fact, no sugar was used at all. Only honey.  Yes, this is one the reasons why I like baking. At least I can make sure that my family is eating well, while not "depriving" them the joy of eating. :)  Gluten-free Double Chocolate Almond Cake baked in Airfryer Yield: 1 loaf cake (6.5 X 3 X 3 inches) Adapted from @yumhealth ..read more
