Warm Salmon Mousse with Garlic Bread Have you ever stood at the foyer of HDB Hub in Toa Payoh and looked at their map of Singapore? It can be quite unsettling to see all the housing estates taking up much of our island and identifying all the places that you know and have been to. I guess we all know that Singapore is a small island and that space is a premium.

Thanks to years of catastrophic civic mismanagement, the collapse of almost every industry the city was ever famous for, unemployment, riots, stereotypes and ridicule, Liverpool somehow, tragically, fell from what was something approaching the capital of the world in the late 19th century to a depressed and dangerous place by the 1980s. The central Liverpool of my childhood was windswept and forlorn, and lucky though I was to live in relative comfort in the outer suburbs and only occasionally venture in on the Merseyrail, braving gangs of marauding scallies and dark, unpoliced underground stations, I found very little to admire in the boarded-up offices on Castle Street or the graffitied abandoned pubs that outnumbered the inhabitants. There was no such thing as a rush hour in late 80s Liverpool – you could drive in and park wherever and whenever you pleased (if you were brave enough) and the trains, unreliable and squalid as they were, were never busy.

Inside Jar. [Photo: Yelp ] MID-CITY — The line’s been dead for quite some time with no updates on Suzanne Tracht’s Suzpree .

Eater National highlights the items of note from last night’s Iron Chef America extravaganza that featured Mario Batali and Emeril Lagasse squaring off against Bobby Flay and White House chef Cristeta Comerford . Special guest star Michelle Obama looked fab in her cameo, Alton Brown was full of his usual zest and zeal, the secret ingredient was the White House garden, Flay/Comerford won , and Sam Sifton has been freaking out about it all day. All in all, it was quite the television spectacle and great coup for the Slow Food movement, but was Dr.

Yesterday it seemed as if everyone returned to the city to check it out and take advantage of the after-Christmas sales and movie or theatre matinees. The crowds on the high street were incredible! Three things I wanted to do: have lunch at Thai Square – the popular Thai restaurant close to Trafalgar Square, go to John Lewis store on Oxford Street and to pick up some ingredients at the Japan Centre for a favourite Japanese dish. As always lunch was sumptuous and arresting..

Happy New Year 2010 everyone! Overall, 2009 was quite a sad year for the world. Let’s hope 2010 will be a good one! Mention Bidor and food like duck thigh noodle, chicken biscuit (Kai Jai Peng) and ‘Sat Kei Ma‘ (squarish, sweet dessert made of flour and chicken eggs) immediately come to mind

Here’s to a Happy 2010 New Year!! As 2009 winds down, I am amazed at how quickly the year has come and gone. Just over the last 2 months, I flew over 30,000 miles traveling to Shanghai, Beijing, Boston, Seattle, San Diego, back to Seattle and Las Vegas, completed and presented various final projects for grad school and of course at the same time attended all the important things of my work place and found a little time in between for friends and family. It’s been busy, but I’m not complaining.

Smartmom bought her Charlie Brown-style Christmas tree from the Vermont tree farmers who set up in front of the Park Slope Food Co-op every year. It was $20, which is a lot to pay for what was more like a branch. But the gangly tree caught her eye and seemed lovable in its own — slightly pathetic — way.

We are getting too big for our facebook group so we have to move our group to a fan page instead! Once our Facebook group hits 5000 members, I will not be able to send out personal messages to inform members of upcoming events anymore. We are currently 4757 strong, so we will probably outgrow our facebook group very soon. Before that happens, I am asking everyone to move over to the new facebook page instead.
