I am over the moon (and have been for the last couple of days)!
August has been a great month for both myself and The Domestic Goddess Wannabe!
I want to share with you that this blog is the winner for The Best Cooking Blog in this year's Singapore Blog Awards!
![]() |
With runner-ups Karyn & Pei Ching from Twice As Delicious and Shirley from Little Miss Bento |
After all, where would a blog be without its readers?
It has been an amazing journey, and I have grown and learnt so much since my very good friend, Regina from MummyMoo messaged me with an order to "GO BLOG YOUR RECIPES!" about a year ago.
I have met so many wonderful people, especially the ladies from the Singapore Mom Bloggers and made many new friends.
In fact, it was the super talented Adeline from ABSOLUTE by The Accidental Mom Blogger who designed and made the beautiful hat that I wore to the awards ceremony.
In fact the LAM is making finishing touches to my new baking kitchen which he built for me as I am typing this post!
Amid all this excitement, I was also featured in the August 2014 issue of Mother & Baby!
I am really blessed and very grateful, and to share my joy and to thank you, the readers - without whom I will not have the motivation to continue sharing my recipes - I am hosting a celebratory giveaway!
I will be posting more recipes in the days to come, and I will continue to do what I have always done - simplify every recipe so anyone (and I mean anyone!) can cook and/or bake like a pro!


A CELEBRATORY GIVEAWAY!
A set of Philips Jaime Oliver Stick Blender. Set includes hand blender, chopper and whisk.
"The new Philips Jamie Oliver hand blender features a strong 650W motor with a simple "on / off" button as well as a turbo button, ensuring that busy families can enjoy fresh, healthy food every night of the week. The compact chopper stands sturdy on any kitchen counter and is useful when chopping smaller quantities of onions, herbs or cheese. Homemade pesto and salsas are also really simple to make and add a completely fresh touch to your meals. It also includes a whisk that attaches easily to your hand blender top. It is useful when preparing fluffy whipped cream and homemade mayonnaise. The innovative ProMix technology represents the ultimate in speed and efficacy, to deliver only the finest and evenly cut results. The 1.0L beaker with lid keeps smoothies and batters fresh and is really useful when preparing homemade sauces, pancake batters or smoothies with your hand blender. If you don't finish the batch in one go, pop on the lid and keep it in the fridge for later. It couldn't be easier!"
To take part in the giveaway, simply completely the Rafflecopter below!
Giveaway ends on Tuesday, September 2, 2014 at 12:00 a.m. Pacific time. The winner(s) will be selected by random.org and contacted by email. If there is no response after 48 hours, another winner will be selected. Open to overseas entrants.
