Father’s Day Staycation at W Sentosa

July 2, 2015

It took me quite a while to plan for Wayne’s first Father’s Day celebration. I wanted to arrange for some activities which Wayne and Laurent could both enjoy but there are not too many exciting choices for a 11 month-old and a 30 year-old to enjoy together! After much contemplation and partly due to a last minute change in schedule for my ...

[Poppy Kitchen] Condensed Milk Bread with Raisins and Almonds Topping

July 10, 2014

I started my leave on 9 Jul, 3 days before my EDD, to prepare myself mentally and physically for Laurent’s arrival 🙂 I thought I would be resting a lot at home – slacking, reading, watching TV… But on my first day of leave, I was up at my usual weekday timing, went to the gym, blogged, pottered around the house cleaning, packing, ...

[Poppy Kitchen] Vanilla Cinnamon French Toast

May 9, 2014

A non baby-related post for a change! This time we’re going back to the kitchen 🙂 Saw my bottle of maple syrup in the kitchen cupboard last week and decided to make French Toast for a quick, simple breakfast. My mum used to make them at home too. Just a few eggs, some sugar and a whole loaf of bread (my mum has this habit of cooking for a ...

[Poppy Kitchen] Red Velvet Cupcakes

February 9, 2014

This is an extremely overdue post because I made these cupcakes for a Christmas gathering with my girlfriends, but I wasn’t in the best condition to blog at that time so it has been delayed till now. I thought it can serve as an inspiration for a valentine’s day bake if you need one – just change the sprinkles to those red, pink ...

[Poppy Kitchen] Pearl Barley Oat Porridge

November 17, 2013

We love having oat porridge for breakfast. When we were on our honeymoon, I quickly got sick of full english breakfast by Day 4, but a warm bowl of oat porridge with honey, nuts and even the occasional honeycomb never fails to give me a warm, cozy start to the day Oat porridge is healthy, easy and extremely versatile. I like making fruit ...

[Poppy Kitchen] Vanilla Cupcakes with Honey Passionfruit Frosting

November 10, 2013

A relative back in Malaysia gave mum several dozens of homegrown passionfruit a week back and I inherited 10 of them. I’m really lazy with my fruits (I often leave them untouched until they are no long able to be eaten), but I’m quite excited about creating some things with those passionfruit so I decide to freeze the pulp until I need them. ...

[Poppy Kitchen] Apple and Red Dates Beverage

October 26, 2013

Been extremely domestic these few days – resting, reading, cleaning the house, making meals, doing laundry. It’s nothing exciting, really, except that the reason for our domestication was due to Wayne getting into a close-shaved accident. But being at home, enjoying the breeze winding through the house, the gentle touches of the sunlight ...

[Poppy Kitchen] Nostalgic Marble Cake

October 24, 2013

It’s been a week since we returned from our 3.5 weeks long honeymoon. We’ve been looking forward to it for such a long time, the anticipation made the trip felt ridiculously short when we looked back at it. It almost felt like a dream… One of the most wonderful part of the trip was the amazing food we got to savour around London and Paris. A ...
