England is still enjoying a heatwave. Whilst there are some places that are heavenly in hot weather, English cities generally don’t top that list, as I’m sure most of my English readers will attest to. London, for one, just isn’t set up to deal with serious heat; public transport has no aircon, offices often don’t either and nights are hot and sleepless (not in a good way). Read More
1. Notabilia Written by a design and word-loving New Yorker living in Singapore, this blog charts her adventure to learn some history, be inspired by pretty things, meet creative people and make this island home for a while. Full of quirky discoveries like the recent post on beautiful bamboo bicycles.
I don’t want a huge portion of this blog to be about food, although you can pretty much count on at least one restaurant being reviewed a week, as there always seem to be new ones worth mentioning. (One of my readers recently told me that I’m often talking about eating. I don’t think I really do, and try to find a balance somewhere between stuffing my face, shopping and life generally…and writing about it all.)

As those of you that read Changmoh regularly will know by now, I am not overly domestic. Whilst this particular post won’t do much to enhance my image, either in or out of the kitchen, I can promise that once you’ve eaten what’s described below, there will be no turning back.
The rather dubious mixing methodology (read on) makes marmite toast so delicious, I feel confident we’ll soon see it gracing the menus at the myriad of toast shops that seem to have popped up all over the island almost overnight. Granted, kaya toast would still take pride of place but this could, and should, come a close second.
And it’s definitely not classed as cooking (even though I’m filing it, laughably, under the ‘recipes’ category). Read More
