Lost and found: Best fried sambal fish
Years ago, an ex-colleague of mine brought a few of us to eat a dish he dubbed “the best fried fish he has ever had”. “You can even eat all the bones,” he beamed. The restaurant was along Ophir Road and such was its popularity that there was a line of cars parked on along…

Zara blazers are hot!
Coming from a tropical county, I’ve often wondered how people in temperate countries still could wear a blazer even in summer. The jackets and suits that I own are perfect for Singapore’s air-conditioned buildings but not suitable to be worn outdoor in the 30 plus degrees Celsius weather for long.

2-minute facial
I’m not the kind of guy who goes for facials. And I’ve not had one in my life because I don’t feel that I need it. A week ago, my wife bought me an ageLOC LumiSpa system for our upcoming anniversary. I was tickled because I had wanted to get one for her instead —…
