Japanese Eye poppers

How on earth did they manage to create such a delicate piece?

I had no idea that cakes cut be fitted in to a round pan
with total perfection. So you see ,the Japanese will always win by striving to achieve perfection and outstanding creativity.

A touch of Spain

The lighting and the artwork gives this dining
area a very contemporary feel effortlessly.

Oh,the textures just work brilliantly together.
I love the details of the wooden chairs and rustic tiling.
Imagine yourself being in a majestic Moroccan mansion.

Ultimate romantic design

This is a very seductive piece,it sort of encompass true love and desperation,the yearning and loneliness that both lovers endured during ancient war times.No cell phone,no letters,no facebook,no email,they ain't got nothing but their faiths to be held in each others hearts.

Oriental Crepe's


CRepe's in asia........differ tastewise..its savoury and has a quirky feel.Shrimp paste ,hot chilli sauce ,grated carrots,soy sauce, shredded ommeleted ,sweet beautiful peanuts,wrapped up in a thin paper like crepe.Luminous wrappo treat.Only complaint is about the bite size though,but then again ,nothing is too big for my mouth.

If Yan can cook,I bloody can't



Well,what can I say?Every time I hear his cranky Cantonese accent,it gets me and compels me to stay tuned during the whole show.Its reminds me how people never cut off their roots and take pride in their nationality wherever they settle.If there's anything I've learned watching the programme,its not about the cooking,its about how culture sells,as it has always been since the roman times.We constantly try to steal recipes from different ethnic groups all the time.However,I would still prefer some authencity instead of fusion mania.The foundational cooking method which country it originated from must be instilled to preserve its genuinity and local heritage.Different variation of herbs do not produce the same tastes and thus effect the general authencity of the cuisi
ne.Anyway,here are a few eye popping facts about Martin Yan.
1:This dude receive a Master in science degree in food science in the University of California
2:Made a guest appearance in Iron Chef America(and won the challenging opponent)
3:His wife is a Japanese American Biochemist.
4:He has a pair of twin boys.

So,there you have it guys and remember ,IF YAN can COOK,YOU can TOO.If Yan can survive without chopping his fingers off,you can too.gotta add some cilantro and sze chuan peh pe kawns.bew tey fuw.I love this guy,BOO YAH!

Confessions of a Decoholic


From a very young age,I have had the previledge of checking out designs in various ways and end up learning that good designs add a touch of wonderful quality to the art of living.Good designs are timeless innovations that are constantly metamorphosised and revived again and again.Whether its the pizza box that you eat from,the subway ticket,or the design print on tissue papers that we use to wipe our delicate asses on,design is forever deeply integrated and implemented in every aspect of our daily lives .Great design is timeless,yet effortless.They will forever remain my infinite passion.
