An Eventful Wednesday Morning – 7 Sept 2016

On a wet morning today, Drama Queen and I witnessed a harrowing snatch theft.  It happened just outside Guardian Pharmacy at our neighborhood.  Drama Queen and I had just walked out of Guardian Pharmacy and were walking towards the Indian restaurant where the hubs was waiting for us for breakfast.  We heard a girl screaming, followed…

Non-Baked Delights

Today is an off day at school for Drama Queen as some of the classrooms are utilized for Year 6 pupils sitting for their UPSR exam. In exactly a year’s time, it will be Drama Queen’s turn to sit for the UPSR exam! Exactly a year ago, Alycia sat for her UPSR.  Time sure flies!!…

Pet Dog

It is our weekly routine every Saturday evening. After piano class, I will walk Cass to a pet shop next to the music center to say hello to the puppies there that we meet weekly.  We will coo over those super adorable pups.  Most of them are imported exotic dogs.  Each time we step into the…

Truly Organic

I almost dumped this fella into the wok yesterday. It was snugged inside its shell and velcroed to a piece of organic lettuce. Why didn’t I see it when I washed the veggie earlier? Eeesshhh, that’s the problem when you’re too busy and can only afford half an hour to cook!! I like to see…

Happy Sunday – 28 August 2016

We left the house early on our Sunday morning yesterday as I had a training session to attend at the NP office.  We were caught in a bad traffic jam as many roads were closed in the heart of KL for the Merdeka Day celebration rehearsal and to make the traffic even worse, there was…

Yummy Kitchen Tales

My 2 kitchen side-kicks helping me to peel and chop garlic and onions. I am SO thankful for them coz I HATE this chore! They bicker and fight a lot but when they yak and laugh non-stop with each other, it really warms my heart 🙂 From a mere kitchen helper just earlier this year,…

A Quick Beach Getaway to Port Dickson

Port Dickson started life as a humble charcoal producing town, but in recent times it has turned into a thriving and popular beach destination. This jewel of a destination is just 60km from Kuala Lumpur, meaning it is a popular destination for city slickers looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday…

Beauté Feminine Mist Spray For Miss V!

Do you always get that niggling discomfort down there?  Yes, I am referring to your Miss V.  The annoyance when your Aunt Flow visits, during mid-cycle, when you are on the go all day and haven’t got the chance to clean it with water or when you have a yeast infection, bad odour or UTI?…

Our Kitchen Our Haven

Drama Queen was helping me chop onions in the kitchen today while I was cleaning the fish and marinating it.  Alycia sauntered into the kitchen… Alycia – hey Kay Yi, do you want to play badminton downstairs? Sher – *sniffs sniffs and wipes off tears from her eyes*  I can’t… (sniffs and wipes tears with…

Baked Corn Flakes Chicken

Our girls love grilled chicken. I cook it at least once a week, sometimes twice.  My grilled chicken is cooked in a variety of styles – with turmeric powder, teriyaki sauce, honey, lemon grass, lemon juice, curry paste, tomyam paste, black pepper, breaded and much more.  Last week I tried something different with the chicken…

Butadon (Pork Bowl Rice)

It’s been a busy 2 days for me. Two days ago, I discovered that 99% of the photos in  my 3 blogs from the period November 2015 – May 2016 were not loading!  That’s one of the worst nightmares to happen to a blogger. It’s tragic! My blogs mean a lot to me. I started…

Crazy Hazy Hot Days Are Back!

The inevitable time of the year is here again, totally unwelcomed.  For the past two days, the familiar acrid smell of haze can be smelled first thing in the morning at 4:45 a.m. when I stepped out of my bedroom. Thankfully my girls and I have always been pretty OK during the haze period with…

Tau Yew Bak (Braised Pork Belly With Soy Sauce)

Ever since the mil went to Hong Kong, I have been spending quite a bit of time cooking.  I cook dinner from Monday through Friday.  On some days, I cook twice a day, like today.  I now have a pot of porridge bubbling in the rice cooker and it will be ready just on time when…
