Vegan eats, tours and cooking classes in Tokyo
In late summer 2019, I had a chance to visit Tokyo again. People have this impression that Tokyo is crowded all the time, but in fact that’s only true for some parts of the city. Tokyo’s spaces are much more diverse and varied than Singapore’s. This time I tried to explore spots outside of the […]

Vegan finds in Saitama & Kawasaki, Japan
In September (late summer) of 2019 I visited my friends and went to a vegan festival in Tokyo. Weather was great, the daily average temperature was 25C (ideal for Singaporeans).

Plant-Based Japan Travel – Osaka
Osaka is known as the kitchen of Japan, and the friendliest city we visited. Although it’s the third largest city in Japan, it’s comparatively less veg*n-friendly than Tokyo or Kyoto.

Even though Hokkaido is overall not as veg*n-friendly as Tokyo or Kyoto, it still offers a good amount of veg*n food spots. In fact, I […]

One-pot meals basics part 3 – cooking times
Last post on my approach to Asian – inspired one pot meals, following the past pantry basics and flavour + texture posts. People seem to have a misconception that cooking takes hours. Not at all! General guide on cooking times (No rules written in stone – it’s common sense, intuition, experience, personal preference!) : 1) […]

One-pot meal basics part 2 – flavour and texture
After part 1 on pantry basics, here’s the ingredients combining part of our one-pot miso udon. Cooking is a simple exercise in layering flavours with textures. Almost all foods give some texture, but not all can impart flavour. It’s important to note that besides salty, sour, sweet and bitter, there’s a fifth sense of taste […]
