On the last week of May I treaded on nippon ground despite the many incessant warnings of radiation scares and it was a risk well taken. If a city could be a person then I was extremely impressed by Tokyo. She is indeed very magical with so much to explore, taste & feel. Tokyo is undoubtedly my Paris in Asia.
Here’s a quick travel guide on Things to do in Tokyo for five days.

Being a food blogger means there is an array of food to try, and while the different types of cuisines satisfy the glutton in me, it is not necessarily a good thing. There are actually a lot of food that are bad for our teeth.
Lately, I did a little research on ‘teeth sensitivity’ as I have been experiencing sharp pains when I eat certain kinds of food. One of my discoveries includes the fact that regular consumption of food with high acidity (or acid content) is a common attribution to sensitivity. It is only then I realised that citrus fruits, tomatoes, and tea – all of which I consume on a daily basis – can cause enamel erosion.
Through this, I became more interested in learning how to take proper care of my teeth, and I would like to take this chance to share with you 5 important Oral Hygiene Tips for healthy and white teeth.

Men are different from women in many ways. One of the most prominent differences is the things we eat; studies have shown that guys love their meat, while women like sweet stuff.
Burgers, steaks, pizzas, chicken wings are some of the favourite foods for men. Throw in beer and chips – you will make them the happiest lad in the world. Below, I have recommended some places for Father’s Day Dinner 2012.

If you google “useful travel tips”, there are about 1,040,000,000 results from websites and blogs giving different travel advice. I’ll go straight to the point and tell you about 5 useful travel tips that always work for me.

“How do you stay slim when you are always eating so much?” I get this question all the time, and to be completely honest, there’s no secret to staying slim – I exercise regularly.
But as I’ve been travelling frequently this year, I find it difficult to maintain an exercise routine. I used to jog at least four to five times a week, but nowadays, I only do it once or twice when I have time. Many friends are envious of me as they think that I can eat without gaining weight. But the truth is I gain weight easily (especially as I literally eat for a living), and I definitely don’t have skinny genes.
Fortunately, I met the folks from SlimSpa, and they introduced me to their diet and nutritional supplements to solve my problem.
There are many slimming products in the market, but the sad thing is most of them come and go, and as consumers, we don’t really know which brands to trust. SlimSpa, on the other hand, has been around for over seven years in the market.
I’ve been using SlimSpa products over the last month and I am happy to say that everything is going well so far. If you are looking for a safe way to lose weight, you can read more about my journey with SlimSpa’s weight management solution.

Back in March, the good people at Kitchen Language and Fulford PR invited me to join them on a press trip to visit Dean & Deluca in New York. During that few days, I had an amazing time learning about the brand, and it was a privilege to get a behind-the-scene sneak peek.
Dean & Deluca is a multi-channel retailer of gourmet and speciality foods, premium wines and high-end kitchenware with operations throughout the United States and abroad.
Like what I’ve mentioned in my earlier interview with Justin Seamonds (the president of Dean & Deluca), its international presence is expanding rapidly. Today, you can find the gourmet grocer in many cities including Tokyo, Bangkok, Korea, Turkey, and of course, Singapore (opening on 22nd June).
If you have always heard about but never had the chance to visit Dean & Deluca in New York, let me take you on a store visit!

This year has been really good so far, and I am very thankful that I get to visit so many new places. As I will be busy travelling to Sydney and Tokyo in June, I reckoned it’s a good idea to open up my blog for contributors.
If you think you have something that my readers should know about and has not been featured here, this is a good time to share.
Note that it is not restricted to just restaurant reviews. I am open to articles relating to food, wellness, and travel. It should be written in an engaging manner, and good photos are definitely a plus. One more thing, this is open to everyone; you don’t need to have a blog. I am looking for someone who loves food and writing.
Please send your post (around 300-500 words with photos) in a word document format to [email protected]. It would be great if you could include a short paragraph – telling me more about yourself, and writing experience (if any) – in the email.
I will be choosing the best articles to share with everyone. This is your chance if you are keen to be a regular contributor for ladyironchef. Thanks folks, have a good weekend!
