Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
Every time I go back to Singapore, we will always have a durian feast with my family. My sisters would source the best and one of the most expensive ranges of durian for me. Through the years, even though they have tried to buy from many durian sellers, they will always look out for more – in case, their usual sellers run out of the type of durian they want, they have someone else to fall back on.

As my children are getting older, they are less and less keen to go Trick or Treating and getting dressed up for the occasion, so staying indoors watching a good film has become a norm. We are very much loving spending time at home to stay warm and cosy too, especially over the weekend! Of course, not forgetting to have plenty of snacks and a takeaway for an extra treat!
