I think that I’ve just made the ultimate ice cream. Seriously. This ice cream is that awesome. How many ice cream posts do I have now? A lot, if you include all the popsicles and fro-yo. But you can never have too many ice cream flavours. Recently I’ve been on a ginger kick, mostly Tesco…

Cheat and Sour Chicken
Today, I’m giving you fakeaway at it’s easiest: full of short-cuts and it’s air-fryer friendly! Let me lay down some history to this dish: My daughter finishes kindergarten at 5.30pm. What? That’s crazy! I know, I’m hearing your exclamations from here. She goes to a full day kindergarten which doubles as a child care for working…
Fancy Yogurt Pops
In case you can’t tell, we are a dessert family. Singapore is hot, and there are a lot of vendors selling sweet treats to cool you down. There are even 4 ice cream/fro-yo shops outside and around Miss G’s kindergarten, with another currently being built! And yes, she’s been to every single one of them….
Chocolate Ice Cream
If you don’t know by now, I’m a major chocoholic. I practically inhale the stuff, and there are always a couple of family blocks in the freezer. I’m known by name at the Starbucks near Miss G’s school, and they can almost recite my order. Even Miss G has inherited my great chocolate love, she…
Hoisin Duck Tortizza
One of the best things I find about living in Singapore is getting access to foods that aren’t as common in Australia. I love prata, char siew pork, siew mai and bao, wantan mee, Hainanese chicken rice; I could be here forever. But one of my absolute faves is smoked duck. It is sooooo much…
Broken Bikkie Fudge
I have a biscuit barrel in my pantry that is reserved just for the dregs of the bikkie world. I’m talking about the last 2-3 stale biscuits in the packet that everyone decided they didn’t like, or that solo broken cookie that nobody wants to touch, or those final 3 Tiny Teddies that your child…
Kit Kat Crunch Fudge
One of my local cheapie shops has a great selection of sweet stuff, and recently they’ve had out a big range of different Kit Kats. Normal, Chunky, mint, orange, green tea, and all shades in between; it’s Kit Kat heaven. And best of all, it’s all cheap! What else am I to do but make…
Banana Frozen Yogurt
Right before we left to go on a month long holiday in November, we had a bunch of bananas that had started to ripen up very fast. I had this grand delusion of making a big batch of banana bread muffins in the air fryer, but as we all know, Procrastination and I are old…
Juicy Jelly Icy Pops
I bet if you go into your pantry, you will find more than a few packets of jelly crystals. I’m right, aren’t I? When I’m living in Australia, I normally have at least at least 5 packets of jelly crystals in the pantry. There are just soooo many flavours, I just want to get one…
White Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
Would you believe that I had made this at the beginning of November? You would? Yes, I know, I had been Little Miss Procrastinator in the good ol year that was 2015. Now that Miss G is going to school for 5 days a week and an extra hour a day (my baby! 😭) I…
Cold Brewed Overnight Coffee
It’s been an interesting few months over here on the Red Dot. The MM family has now been in Singapore for 2.5 months, and during that time we’ve moved into our flat, caught up with some old friends, celebrated Miss G’s 2nd birthday, and distantly welcomed our little newborn nephew into our family. And I’m…
Disney’s “Frozen” Elsa’s Icicles
How crazy has the whole “Frozen” phenomenon been? Even months after it’s been out, there is still so much merchandise out there, and every time I go out to my local shopping centre I see at least 2 little girls dressed up as Elsa. I don’t remember a Disney 2D movie being this popular since…
