Savoury Bread Pudding Casserole

Chopped red chilies and red peppers add some 'oomph'
to an otherwise blah bread pudding casserole.

Although I consider myself somewhat of a 'rice person', on some days it is simply too hot to eat rice, curry and Indian-style vegetable dishes. All I want is lots of water to drink and salads at every meal. Today was especially hot, so my mum took over lunch- we had multi-grain rice, with steamed spinach and sesame tofu as side dishes. And since it was my turn to cook dinner, I took the easy route: a one-dish meal.

Vegetarian Ethics....From The Other Side

I've recently taken to watching old Mitchell and Webb skits online, having run out of Catherine Tate and GGM (Goodness Gracious Me) clips to watch. This one was so appallingly funny, I couldn't resist sharing it, LOL!

Veggie Delights in Singapore

Bustling Singapore is now home to varied, cosmopolitan vegetarian cuisine.

I've been mulling over a pre-Christmas weekend getaway in Singapore, but the thought of eating out for a couple of days in a row is not appealing to me. I've been spoiled for far too long with home-cooked food (some of it made by my own hands), the prospects of eating out while on holiday is almost repulsive. The nice thing about home is that food is familiar, more so for vegetarians like myself who have limited places to eat--usually an Indian or Chinese vegetarian restaurant.

A Dress That Truly Stinks

Literally. I know now the answer to the popular question: "Who would you NOT want to be stranded with on a desert island?" Top of my list in this decade is Lady Gaga, for her taste in clothing (pun intended) at the Video Music Awards, she ties with that lot hell-bent on torching Korans. Their higher powers must have been low on their supply of brains when they sent the storks out with this lot. Or maybe the HP planned it that way, which suits me just fine.

Shanghai Gets On Veggie Map

Shanghai has put itself on the veggie map with its growing number of vegetarian eateries

For years I've been dreaming of visiting China, especially Shanghai with all its history and culture. But then I was warned that finding veggie friendly places to eat would be a challenge for me (all my friends who've visited or lived in the city are non-vegetarians). So I spent my vacations at other more vegetarian friendly countries, but at the back of my mind I never stopped wanting to actually visit the city.
