About Daniel&Esther

daniel & esther

Daniel works in the consumer electronics industry but hopes to one day own a cafe. Like most Hainanese men, he can whip up a storm in the kitchen and is constantly invited to other people's house parties... to cook for them.

Esther works for a major airline by day, and bakes incessantly by night. Trained as a chemical engineer, she puts that knowledge to good use - by reading package labels to see if it's good for you.

Souvenirs From Down Under

By daniel | May 7, 2008

Nope - Esther and I didn’t buy any fluffy koala or wombat soft toys; neither did we get a boomerang or the aboriginal instrument didgeridoo during our recent trip to Melbourne.

When we travel, we usually buy groceries and cooking ingredients that are either unavailable or hard to find in Singapore, such as the last time we went to San Francisco. This time we bought:

souvenirs

(Clockwise from top left): MasterFoods Pink Himalayan Salt, Woolworths Select Sumac, Heinz Peppered Steak and Spicy Salami, Bacon & Pasta canned soups, dried Porcini mushrooms, Kellogg’s Mini-Wheats, some strange bottle of wild hibiscus flowers soaked in syrup (it blossoms when you drop them in champagne or other fizzy drinks), Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Desserts Boysenberry Shortcake, and a packet of dried tortellini pasta with breadcrumb filling.
