Pita Pan – The Shoppes, Bayfront [Permanently Closed]
Once in a while you come across a place that has a combination of interesting cuisine and umpteen choices on the menu. And Pita Pan is exactly that, a 98% vegetarian joint that provides you with numerous options for a filling lunch or dinner. I say 98% because eggs are used in the Mediterranean breeze…

Coconut and Jaggery Laddoos / Kamarkat / Kamarkattu
Festivals are a time to celebrate and the best excuse for making sweets & snacks. The festive season also takes you back to your childhood and the traditional savories mom used to – and hopefully, still makes. So I decided to make one of my favorite sweet munchies to connect back to that time. This…

Quarter to Three [Permanently Closed]
A good dessert place is a place that makes you smile – no matter how the meal was. Quarter to Three is a small and cozy café situated in Tanjong Pagar. Wooden furniture always catches my attention and I really liked the broad table where we were seated. The display counter was well-lit and adorned…

Radish Channa Sabzi
Radish, as a vegetable, is used extensively in salads, paratha stuffing and sambhar. I got bored cooking radish in those styles and tried a gravy side dish to go with rotis. The outcome of channa (chickpeas) and radish together turned out to be an interesting and tasty protein combination. Radish is an excellent source of…
