Vesak go veggie

May 9 was Vesak day and this year long be4 that day, I decided that I would go vegetarian for at least one meal to mark the occasion.
Altho I belong to the category of  Buddhists who practise according to convenience (go with the flow school) rather than extra effort, I  decided I would make the extra effort nevertheless. After all, I’ve [...]

Meatless could be tasteless or…

I’ve occasionally bitched about Sophie’s highish prices and disorganised way of taking orders and serving her food. Well, I’ve had to swallow my complaints after eating at two other vegetarian restaurants recently.
The latest was at the Lotus Heart Tea House — on the 2nd floor of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in South Bridge Road where [...]

Memories from December..

I shall start with the last meal I ate in 2008 — and that was cooked by the birthday boy (BB) for whom we celebrated at Gunther’s in July.

So much for intentions! On Sunday morning, SF called and said she’s come down [...]

I mused on this last week when I found myself back again at New Green Pasture Cafe or Sophie’s at Fortune Center, this time alone, because I had just been on one [...]

Green pastures old…

After so much feasting in recent days, those written abt and those best not to remember, there was yearning for something less demanding on the digestive juices and less heavy on the internal circuitry.
After some absence, we headed to Sophie’s again on Sep 6, for lunch: my sister, maid Siti and mum. For a while we had deserted [...]

3 veggies fm TTSH Kopitiam

 On Weds, Aug 21, I found myself back at Tan Sock Seng Hospital again, as the geriatrician named Dr Angel, wanted to check on mum after her op.
Since it was a 2pm appointment, we wanted to avoid the stress of eating at home and cleaning up thereafter and being late as [...]
