I’ve been packing food to lunch; partly to save money, partly to have the opportunity to fiddle around in the kitchen, and partly to avoid eating crappy outside food. I generally prefer to pack cold salads because they are easy to eat, and doesn’t require reheating. I do have microwaves and toaster ovens in my…

We decided to splurge on a good meal at Osteria Mozza, located in Marina Bay Sands. The Osteria Mozza is brainchild of renowned chef Mario Batali (used to be on Iron Chef America) and Nancy Silverton.
