The Secret Foodie: Yesteryear

http://thesecretfoodie.blogspot.com/2008/01/yesteryear.html

Tuesday, January 15, 2008. She didn't always like us. Bitterness kept her caged for years. When her body began to be ravaged earlier this year, bitterness was what she clung onto. Why me? She would cry, even before when she was well. Why has my life been so unlucky? Why does everything happen to me? In memory of her, our family returned with her ashes to China. And we, of course, ate. Po Piah. January 15, 2008 at 8:02 PM. Mel - a truly heartfelt lament. I was so touched by your writing. Well done. Mel, t...

The Secret Foodie: Speaking of Cupcakes..

http://thesecretfoodie.blogspot.com/2009/04/speaking-of-cupcakes.html

Friday, April 17, 2009. In my daily catch-up-with-the-world hour that I take at work every morning, New York Magazine is the first thing I go to for seeing what's up in New York, after emails and news in three continents. As I love cupcakes (really, whoever says they don't is kidding themselves), this article. I found today in NY Mag was fun to read. You might find it fun too. In my walkings around this big town, I have sampled cupcakes from Crumbs Bake Shop. As well as Buttercup Bake Shop. Prices at Bak...

The Secret Foodie: March 2009

http://thesecretfoodie.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

Tuesday, March 31, 2009. The Best Pizza in New York. The claim of Best Pizza in New York is not one easily won. When I googled 'best pizza in new york', over 13 million websites claimed to know something about it. I, however, have taken to scouring NY Magazine,. A much more complex (and confusing) version of The Age's Epicure, Yelp. To guide me in locating delicious and usually (preferably) cheap food. Izza, has become a main staple food. Seriously, impossible to find. Famous Grimaldi's in Brooklyn.

http://thesecretfoodie.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html

Saturday, June 21, 2008. Hello blog-world, it's been a while. I apologize for my prolonged absence, it's been somewhat of a hectic year so far. but I'm ready now, I think, after having somewhat settled myself. BUT I have so much to tell you all. Which, according to Wiki, traditionally refers to a kind of bar normally frequented only by males for the purpose of imbibing alcohol and partaking of appetizers (. However, as I previously mentioned. So in we went, and for 25 pesos ($2.5), the price you pay ...

The Secret Foodie: D.O.C. - Denominazione d'Origine Controliata

http://thesecretfoodie.blogspot.com/2007/10/doc-denominazione-dorigine-controliata.html

Saturday, October 20, 2007. DOC - Denominazione d'Origine Controliata. We had planned on the un-original yet reliable Tiamo 2, but seeing the masses of people milling around the entrance on this comfortably cool spring night, we decided to search elsewhere. Stopping at the corner of Faraday Street, I suddenly recalled the new restaurant that Cindy and Michael. As well as Claire. An assortment of cured meats, and I went with the Bresaola. My only complaint about D.O.C was that service seemed a bit...Open ...

The Secret Foodie: Summer Lovin'

http://thesecretfoodie.blogspot.com/2008/02/summer-lovin.html

Monday, February 11, 2008. Since returning to Melbourne several weeks ago,. Perked me up. I was entranced enough by the fresh pastas and cheeses offered by the delis, but I really. Got excited when I spotted Monsieur Truffle. That evening. My point of this post? I love Prahran Market. But I'm sure all you Melbournites already knew about those wonders :). Still to come: Fifteen review, my various attempts at a wonderful coconut bread recipe, Poor Man's Curry and mexican cooking classes at CERES. I hope yo...

The Secret Foodie: A taste of Spring (and a few bites of Winter too)

http://thesecretfoodie.blogspot.com/2007/10/taste-of-spring-and-few-bites-of-winter.html

Saturday, October 13, 2007. A taste of Spring (and a few bites of Winter too). Spring is here. I can smell it in the nippy cloudy days where leaves are tossed down the street and into my face as I attempt to make my way to wherever I need to be. It's cold and very windy, but it's not quite the biting chilling cold of winter. Flowers are blooming, the nights are getting slightly. The first thing that springs to mind is The Phantom of the Opera. I guarantee you, it will be a breathtaking experience, especi...

The Secret Foodie: May 2007

http://thesecretfoodie.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html

Sunday, May 27, 2007. Cooking up a Thai storm. Last Monday was A's birthday, and since he wanted something low key and chill, I decided to cook him up a feast and invite a few friends around instead of taking him out. He has a penchant for both Thai and Indian foods, so given our Indian adventures last week, I thought Thai would be a highly welcomed choice. But ended up going with these cupcakes. Rich Chocolate Cupcakes with Lime Cream Cheese Frosting. Makes 24 regular cupcakes). 2 1/4 cups sugar. 3-4 tb...
