#SayCheese : Enjoying the finest European Cheese in Singapore

It's no secret how much I love cheese. For me, it's that one thing that can never go wrong regardless of what type of dish you add it in. Cheese on crackers. Cheese with Pasta. Cheese on sweet Pichi Pichi. Cheese Sandwich. Even Cheese on my Milk Tea! I'm totally crazy about cheese and most especially the soft cheese kind.

Cheese is indeed a very versatile ingredient and recently, I attended a lunch affair where Chef Emmanuel Stroobant showed us four different dishes where he made use of cheese. Before that though, I got to try a mix of European cheeses with a very varied taste profile and history.

Now, doesn't it sound fun to enjoy a plate of cheese while enjoying the beautiful view of the Marina Bay? I was happily munchi
ng on my cheese and crackers while watching Chef Emmanuel do a short demo on how to make cheese. Yes, he actually did it right in front of us!

I got to sample 4 different dishes but these two were my top picks:

Fried Lemon Grass salad, Carrot Puree, Gouda, Spring Roll
This was my favorite! It's very similar to the fresh Vietnamese spring roll with a nice cheesy texture. It's purely vegetarian if I'm not mistaken and trust me, one piece is not enough.

Emmental, Basil Extraction, Live Nitro-Strawberry Sorbet
Who doesn't love sorbet? Just when I thought having grated emmental cheese on top of this sweet and fruity dessert might just be too weird. I was proven wrong. The combination of the salty cheese and the savory basil matched the sweet strawberry sorbet perfectly. I loved this!

EATaewon Seoul Food Experience

 Annyeong! It's been a while since my last blog post and boy this year is zooming by oh so fast!  So, how has everyone been?  As for me, I've been extra busy with work as I recently took on a new role that's equally exciting and challenging but really, I love theAsiaparent and I love my team and I am so excited to grow with everyone this year. On the domestic side, Yaya M has left us (again and for good this time) and we wish her luck in finding her one true love.  Meanwhile, my twins have started pre-school this year so Paul and I have also took on our new roles as Teacher Mommy and Teacher Daddy. I'm still sad that my twins will most likely not experience nursery life such as meeting new friends, being part of school programs, gaining independence and more. Pre-school life was so much fun for me and it breaks my heart knowing that by the time the pandemic is over, they might have to enter big school already. *sigh*  I'm glad that we enrolled them in Kindermusik ea

Vito's BBQ : Best Chicken BBQ in Town

Image
This was indeed a big big surprise. It started when I was chatting with my cousin and he casually mentioned Vito's BBQ  as we were talking about Chicken Rice dishes. I didn't thought much about it until I went online and saw a couple of friends from my high school posting about the same thing. "Hmm.. what is this  Vito's BBQ ?", I thought to myself. I was definitely so curious now and I quickly went to their Instagram page to check them out. Oh my! I'll warn you now. Do NOT go to their page at the middle of the night or you'll surely end up hungry and craving for Chicken BBQ. Trust me, I learned this the hard, hungry way.  Apparently, Vito's BBQ is named after the owners' 4 year old and he's so adorable! They started in Libis and recently, they opened their pick-up station in... *drumroll* Ronac Art Center along Ortigas Avenue and is even closer to home! Yahoooo!  Anyway, we celebrated Grandparent's Day last last week and I decided that

My thoughts on 2021 : New Year Musings

Image
 "Nothing can dim the light that shines from within." - Maya Angelou 2021's entrance was probably one of the most quiet that I've ever encountered in my 39 years of existence. With the absence of massive fireworks and social distancing protocols are still being observed, we gladly bid 2020 adieu and hope that this year will be much better. If you asked me what I was doing as we counted down to the end of 2020, I'd tell you that I was quietly in my study area, working on my laptop. With my twins and my parents sleeping soundly and Paul sitting right beside me, it may not sound very happening but to be, I got everyone who mattered around me and that's just what I needed. Of course, we had a nice family dinner with my sister and her family on video call. I guess this is really the digital age where technology makes being apart physically makes it feel less painful and lonely.  So what do I hope for this new year. I just hope for the pandemic to end.
