Lose 1kg in 2 Weeks
I believe in being realistic. So I shout at you: DO NOT BELIEVE YOU CAN DROP 5+KGS IN 3 WEEKS. This is outrageous. If you starve yourself you might achieve this, but the second you eat again that weight is going straight back on. Then what’s the point starving yourself for nothing? Next question: Do […]
Nutrition Info: Calories in Vietnamese Pho
This is one of my favourite vietnamese meals! It’s fresh, the clear broth is delicious, it’s filling and you add fresh herbs, chilli and lime to flavour it. Now I did try my best at the time, but I think I’m kidding myself if I tell you I know how to correctly pronounce this dish…….. […]

Know your portion sizes
It’s time to get serious about portion size. Many of us overestimate what portions are correct to eat for our body. When we eat larger than needed – we become larger! More fat is stored, the scales get heavier, our clothes get tighter and it’s easier to suffer from health problems. We will start with […]
Nutrition Info: Calories in Singapore Buns
Bread based treats have well and truly infiltrated the Asian Palate. It’s very common for western country folk to snack on buns and savoury pastries from outlets like your local bakery, brumby’s or bakers delight but up to 3 – 5 years ago, a bread bun treat would almost have been impossible to find easily […]

Nutrition Info: Tandoori Chicken
Being Deepavali celebrations in Singapore this weekend I thought I’d take a look at a popular Indian Dish – Tandoori Chicken. Tandoor chicken is made by marinating chicken in a mixture of yoghurt, spices (tumeric, garlic, cumin, coriander, ginger, cardamom, cloves, black pepper, lemon juice, salt) and chilli powder (cayenne) that gives it a distinctive […]
Happy Deepavali !
Have a great long weekend to everyone in Singapore and happy celebrating.
Nutrition Info: Pizza – What’s in your slice?
Pizza is so ‘moreish’ – you can never just stop at one slice, you have to have more. But have you ever stopped to think how many calories you’re eating?? Traditionally, pizza in Italy is eaten with few topping. It was originally served with a hand-tossed bread base, a delicious home-made tomato sauce, fresh …Read […]

Singaporean Chilli Crab
The number one thing you must eat in Singapore is Chilli Crab. Uniquely Singaporean, there are many variations of preparation including Steamed, Black Pepper, Butter and Breaded but in my humble opinion Chilli is the best. Look in any cookbook at the recipe and you’ll find that the tangy gravy base is made simply from a bottle of tomato sauce and sweet chilli sauce. Considering one tablespoon of these sugar laden sauces contain about 50 calories, this is yet another calorie loaded Singapore meal.
