6469 is a wine made by Christophe Megel and a vigneron from Faugeres, southern France. The white - a blend of chardonnay, viognier and colombard, was the ideal thirst quencher for the parched, hazed out throat. #burpple #wine

here's the lowdown on why the queues are always neverending - it's thinner with a crumbly texture, with just the kiss of gula melaka.. #burpple #openricesg

I grew up attending my granny's bd celebrations at gim tin at amk, as she approved of the orh nee there. Today, we brought my parents and in-laws to gim tin's newest (though not new) outlet - Tim Palace at Toa Payoh Safra. It was a combined celebration of sorts - fathers' day, my belated bd and belated wedding anniversary. The food's more modern with a bit of glam - salted egg prawn ball wth curry leaves and almond,Ee fu noodles, cod fish with black garlic paste(v novel), shark's fin soup huge lump of sea cucumber...and the must-have orh nee. SAFRA members get an additional 10% off too! #safra #fathersday #gimtin #burpple

High tea at @carpenterncook yesterday before the judging of the Dilmah High Tea Cafe Challenge kickstarted! I may not be a fan of macaroons, but the rose flavored macaroon sandwiched with fresh lychee puree was elegant and aromatic at the same time. My all-time fav are the scones - crumbly and dense, and oooh the. unctuous clotted cream! Beautifully paired with Dilmah's rose and vanilla tea. SGD20 per pax, including a pot of Dilmah tea. Advance order (1 dat) required. #dilmah #hightea @msginginly #openricesg #burpple @openricesg

Loved the vibe. Gun for the sandwiches and the homemade, hearty quiche tarts. #easterweekend #friends #burpple

because then it doesn't feel like work, does it? Three months of working with Chef Frederic Deshayes of @do_main_bakery , and I am still learning new things everyday. Today, he showed off his trial of sour dough breads in the pastry kitchen - he's testing longer fermentation timing and how that affects longevity of the breads etc. He checks on their lifespan by feel and by sniffing the breads. I call this the 'escargot looking bread'. After last Sunday's piece in The Sunday Times, he said the sour dough was sold out one hour after opening; by 9am. Since his passion is in sharing classic French style breads, this has been the perfect fuel for more bread experiments in the kitchen. #domainbakery #bread #eatsg #mianbao #fredericdeshayes #burpple

My first time at Miss Molly's (2 craig road), a newish kid on the block that has made a name for her pretty cakes, in particular the rainbow cake. Loved the swirls on the earl grey raspberry cake - like an edible tutu dress. #hipsterforaday #burpple
