Tiramisu
Tiramisu, which comes from an Italian word which means "pick me up", is an irresistible dessert which is made by soaking ladyfingers cookies into espresso and coffee liquor layered with a whipped mixture of egg yolks and mascarpone cheese; and finally dusted with cocoa powder when served. This Tiramisu cake is made by my girlfriend in her baking class where everything is made from scratch, including the ladyfingers cookies.

Lemons!
Lemons, other than the obvious lemonade from the juice, has several other culinary usage. Its juice can be use as marinades for fish and meat where its acidity helps to tenderize them. Lemon slices are also used as a garnish and lemon zest, the grated outer rind of the fruit, is used to add flavor.

Kiwi
Nutrition-wise, kiwi fruits contain about as much potassium as bananas, and rich in Vitamins C, A and E, and its black seeds can be crushed to produce kiwi fruit oil, which is very rich in Alfa-Linoleic Acid (an important Omega-3 essential fatty acid). Kiwi fruits are really great and oh they are so photogenic too don't you think?

Eggs Benedict @ eM by the river
Eggs Benedict is a dish that consists of two halves of an English muffin, topped with ham, poached eggs and Hollandaise sauce. There are also many variations to the eggs Benedict where the ham is being replaced by some other ingredients, for example the Eggs Royale where salmon is used.
This eggs Benedict is from eM by the river which is situated, well ... by the river, along Robertson Quay. It is among one of the few great brunch eateries along the Robertson Quay just like the Epicurious. I still find that the original Eggs Benedict with ham is the best combination. The other variation using salmon and spinach just can't compare and nowhere near the perfection and satisfaction of what this achieves.
With a relaxing environment by the river and great all day breakfast menu, I am looking forward to come back for more to try out the other brunch menu at eM by the river!
