About this blog

Singapore
Singapore is a melting pot of cultures from all over the world. This rare mix of 5 million people in an area the size of London, has lead to a vast array of culinary experiences. As a bit of a foodie, I plan on experiencing as much of this as possible! Plus, as a designer I will be capturing any creative or just intriguing products, packaging and retail outlets I see a long my journey. Enjoy.

Robinson 100 Sunday Lunch


When 6 UK ex-pats get together in Singapore, craving a good old Sunday Dinner, there is no messing about. Chicken and Pork Joint, Yorkshire Puddings, Carrots and Parsnips, Cauliflower Cheese, Leeks, Broccoli, Sprouts and the star of the show.... Rachels Roast Potatoes!

Watch this space....


I work for a brand design company called Design Bridge. This year they turn 25 years old. Over the past 25 years we have worked with food and drinks companies throughout the globe. To celebrate this, each of our 3 offices are heading on their own individual foodie adventure. London to Padstow, Cornwall, UK. Amsterdam to a Maastricht, Netherlands. Singapore to Cambodia!

As a special twist, Design Bridge ran a competition to win a silver ticket. A lucky draw that gives the winner the chance to attend not only their own office trip, but one of the other offices.

All the offices hooked up via video call and the draw took place......... and one of the winners is........... Me!

Watch this space I will capture both the UK and Cambodia trip.

Braised Duck

This is duck is fantastic. It's very basic, but it hits the spot. All this for $3. You can find 'Duck man' in a small food court on Sultan Gate Place, next door to the 'Claypot Chicken man' from an earlier post...

Thai Pancakes - Kanom Thai


On a recent visit to Thailand I tried Kanom Thai, or Thai crispy pancakes. They come in sweet or savory form. The savory form contains coriander (the herb of the devil) so avoided that one, and opted for the sweet version. The white, gooey, fluffy, centre, which is topped with orange rind, is the main event. It tastes like a marshmallow meringue. A definitely for any fellow sweet tooth.

I was particularly impressed by the way they made them...
