About Adeline

Eldest of 3 daughters, I grew up in a cozy family of 5. And being the eldest meant taking care of my sisters while my parents were away at work. Mum started teaching me simple Chinese stir-fry dishes when I was about 11 years old so I can prepare dinner for my family. I'm guessing my sisters got sick of chicken rice and bread.

It was like masak masak (child's play) to me and I was on my own. No one to guide me but none to fault me either. I remember being fascinated by how a few dried shrimps can enhance the flavor of Stir-fry Cabbage. My first fried fish was a black Pomfret which became fish mush. And the first time I boiled potatoes, frantically poking them with a fork, testing for doneness and continued boiling them for more than an hour, just to finally realized they were KIWI!! It was through these learnings and hilarious mistakes where I realize my interest for cooking.

In terms of food adventure, well, I am Singaporean. We are blessed with diverse everything. Diverse races, nationalities, cultures, religions and of course, diverse cuisines! Even choosing breakfast can be a headache at times. Fancy a packet of aromatic Nasi Lemak? A plate of flavorful Fried Beehoon? Couple pieces of crispy Prata? Perhaps some colorful Nonya Kuehs? Or just a slice of good old Kaya & Butter Toast with soft boiled eggs? The options are endless and a tad more interesting than plain old cereal.

This cuisine diversity "groomed" me into a rubbish bin. I'm not too picky, if it looks good, I will eat it. Whether it tastes good, or if it is the (reproductive) organ of some animal, I'll save that for later.


For a person who loves to eat, cook and bake, it is only natural that I start a food blog in time to come. I would like to keep this as a casual, easy read so do pardon me on the terrible grammar and frequent "broken English".  On this blog, I will share my thoughts on cooking/baking, its experiences and some rants along the way.
