Can’t remember where I saw this (either on AFC or in a book), but I have been wanting to try this ever since I saw it. Finally got my chance today!

baked pear with butterscotch sauce
In sweet treats on August 29, 2009 at 11:58 pmthefoodpawn is officially one month old!
In the kitchen sink on August 27, 2009 at 10:43 pm
Well, well…time passes so quickly. It’s been a month since thefoodpawn was first brought forth to the world close to midnight on 27 Jul 09 after hours of labour, and weighing in at a massive 3.8 MB (well, the photo at least). Conceived in the part of the mind (near the middle, slightly back, next to the section which stores Duran-Duran lyrics) where ideas sometimes seem to pop out divinely inspired, it is the consummation of one man’s love for food and photography (and writing).
How quickly they grow…*sniff*

spicy fish paste wrapped in banana leaves
In light bites on August 25, 2009 at 9:14 pm
Most people would recognise this as ‘otak-otak’…a local favourite which goes really well with ‘nasi lemak’ or between two slices of bread. Together with the spices, the banana leaf wrapping adds to the fragrance of the ‘otak-otak’. (Pssst…the secret is in the spices!)

smoked salmon hors d’oeuvres with cream cheese & caviar

Didn’t really have much time this weekend to prepare something major, so decided to do something really simple instead. And in case you are wondering, this has got nothing to do with equine ovaries (har har).

fried singaporean-style hokkien prawn noodles
In the main event on August 22, 2009 at 11:50 pm
I took some photos previously for a cookbook that some ladies in my church were doing, as part of an anniversary project. It was interesting, to say the least (i’ll leave that to your own interpretation).
wishing singapore a happy 44th birthday!
In the kitchen sink on August 9, 2009 at 11:43 pm
Well, well…it is Singapore’s 44th birthday today. Before the day is done, just thought I’d drop a post to commemorate this special day. Got lots of thoughts going through my mind about a middle-aged country and mid-life crisis, but that’s for another post, in another blog.
In honour of this occasion, and in the spirit of keeping with Singapore’s favourite past-time (no, not queueing up for 4D or Toto tickets), allow me to share one of its local favourites with you…mee goreng (or fried noodles, literally translated)!

grilled rib-eye with broccoli & potato salad
In the main event on August 2, 2009 at 10:24 pm
I shot my own dinner…which is not quite the same as a woodsman shooting deer for his dinner.
Although I love red meat (i.e. beef, lamb, etc), you know that there is something not quite right when one’s choice for dinner is dictated by what one wants to shoot, photographically speaking (especially when one is supposed to cut down on one’s intake of red meat).
