Of home-cooked soups, French bistros in New York, and then there’s this obscure li’l diner in Telok Kurau

Thank you Daniel, for your love and support all these years. Much love & respect to you too, Sir. (Yes, if Singapore had a knighthood system, we believe you ought to be Sir’d!)

Thanks for the snapshot, CY.

The Garden Slug in Cuisine & Wine Asia – SEKRET PASTA RECIPE EXPOSED!

One sleepy afternoon, some weirdos with ski masks barged into the shop, put a gun to our heads and said, “GIVES US YOUR SHRIMP & PUMPKIN PASTA RECIPE OR WE’LL.. WE’LL TAKE COWBOY AND.. AND.. uh, WE’LL TOSS HIM IN LORONG M!!!!” And we were like “Nuuuuuuu… not Cowboy! Cowboy is Lorong L and Lorong L is Cowboy! They CANNOT be SEPARATEDDDDD! Pleeeeease! We’ll do anything, anything! Okay here’s the recipe. Take it. TAKE ITTTT! >_< ”

Okay that never really happened. No stray cats were harmed in the creation of the fictional account above. The mild-mannered folks at Cuisine & Wine Asia asked us very nicely. And we relented.

So. If you’ve always wanted to know how to make the Shrimp & Pumpkin Pasta at home, there’s a nice pullout section in the May-June 2012 edition of Cuisine & Wine Asia offering OUR MOST HIGHLY GUARDED SEKRET RECIPE, as well as how to make our Pear William, and a few other interesting recipes from other peoples.

Eh, please try it at home leh! Then take photo and send to us at justask@thegardenslug.com. Tell us if your guests survived the ordeal! Joking, joking. Let us know how it went, we’d really love to know if it turned out well.

There’s also a little write-up on TGS, as well as many other restaurants and cafés with quirky names. Yah. That’s how we got their attention. We has a quirky name.

This one is the artsy, illegible shot. For a more legible shot, go here.

We can has one lone copy on our bookshelf, there are a lot of interesting articles for the foodie. Interviews with chefs, how to cook things, how recipes come about etc.

Alternatively, save on Le Dead Trees and subscribe online. The publication has apps for Apple, Android and other devices.. sibeh kool.

TGS featured in Art Jam & The Executive

Recently we also got featured in Art Jam, it is NTU’s cultural club magazine. Click here for the scanned article, or pop by and grab yourself a copy of Art Jam – plenty of other interesting stuff in there too!

The other article dates way back (September 2007 actually.. Procrastinators ‘r’ Us), it’s a 2-page interview article under the “Novice” section for The Executive’s The Service Issue. The title of “Novice” is quite apt – because we were barely one year into the business then. Even till today, we still feel like novices in many ways. We have learned a tonne of stuff along the way but it wouldn’t be right to call ourselves masters of anything yet. We still see ourselves as students, and it can be extremely trying at times but learning can also be fun! We’re not resting on our laurels though, we still have quite a few tricks up our sleeves for The Garden Slug, so watch this space!
There should still be a copy or two of The Executive sitting around on the bookshelf, buried under a tonne of Her World and National Geographic. Scanned images are here and here.

Most of the pictures taken with any one of our humble phone cameras, except the lovely picture of the Egg Pasta – credit goes to Ernie Su. Thanks Ernie! And also a big thanks to Hazel Almeida (Art Jam) and Felicia Ng (The Executive) for taking the time to talk to us and write about us. xoxo
