FollowCass finally met up with her two BFFs from primary school today. Her bff, A, who’s now studying in an international school, has moved to our neighborhood. Cass and J went to A’s house to help her with unpacking and arranging. A’s mom brought them to Domino’s for pizza. If it wasn’t because of her…

CMCO Day 166 ~ Sunday, 22 November 2020
Hubs has bento box prepping at his shop in the morning, followed by a private kitchen event attended by celebrities in the evening. Since I have some free time on a Sunday, I went to his shop to help him with the photography to post on Catermate’s Facebook page as I’m helping him to manage…
CMCO Day 142 ~ Thursday, 29 October 2020
Since it’s a public holiday today and there’s no online class to attend, the youngest brat helped at her daddy’s shop with bento box packing. What to do, times are really bad and we have to cut down on staff wages and resort to child labor. Just kidding, she went there to collect our lunch…
Salvaging & Transforming A Failed Dish Into A Famed Dish
Yesterday was one of those rare days that the stars weren’t aligned for our in-house teenage chef. Everything that she cooked was a flop, sort of. She made skewered boneless chicken thighs but it didn’t turn out as expected – the pan-fried chicken didn’t have the charred parts and tasted undercooked. The grilled egg plants…
CMCO Day 133 ~ Tuesday, 20 October 2020
CMCO means more baking and cooking at home, especially when there’s someone at home who’s always raring to try out new recipes! Today Sherilyn made Naan bread from scratch to make Naan pizza and cheese Naan for lunch. She made a batch of pan-fried Naan last Saturday (without any oil) and the Naan turned out…

RMCO Day 52 ~ Friday, 31 July 2020
Today is Hari Raya Haji holiday and we had lunch at Restaurant Saikee @ Lorong Syed Putra Kiri. Sweet and sour pork (Gu Lou Yoke), spinach in superior soup with homemade fish paste (my favorite!), steamed 3-variety eggs, fried Seabass with fermented black bean and steamed chicken with minced garlic and scallions. The last time…
RMCO Day 43 ~ Wednesday, 22 July 2020
Today has been another fruitful day for me on the jogging treks. I clocked in 10,000 steps before 12 noon today! The vibration and buzz on my Fitbit to congratulate me on hitting 10k steps is such a sensational feeling; a feeling of victory and a golden ticket for me to treat myself to some…
RMCO Day 31 ~ Friday, 10 July 2020
Today is the third day I skipped exercising. The past two mornings were spent at UTC Pudu to get Cass’ new IC done. I was raring to go jogging this morning but it drizzled the entire day, bummer! Since I couldn’t go jogging, I went to the supermarket and Mr DIY instead. Shopping is the…

RMCO Day 14 & 15 (Tuesday & Wed, 23 & 24 June 2020)
My days are slowly but surely seeing some semblance of old normalcy now. I am getting busier by the day, just like how I used to before Covid-19. And as things slowly return to normalcy, my hectic days are following suit too. My sleep hours are getting shorter, my chauffeuring duties are getting heavier and…
Fish Head Curry From Catermate
For those of you who missed out on the fish head curry from my hubby’s shop last and this Wednesday, his chef is cooking it again this Sunday, 21 June 2020 just because it’s Father’s Day ? One portion is RM60 — composed of Garoupa / Grouper fish head, lady’s fingers, aubergine, tomatoes and onions.…
MCO Day 84 ~ Tuesday, 9 June 2020
Today our baking queen baked her very first loaf of hand-kneaded bread, which is Brioche loaf bread and Brioche buns! According to her, the bread is not 100% perfect as the texture is not super fluffy and pillowy but her sisters and I think that it’s pretty good — super soft, buttery and rich (she…

MCO Day 77 & 78 (Tuesday, 2 June & Wed, 3 June 2020)
Tuesday, 2 June 2020 With over 2 months of being stuck at home and devoid of a daily part-time helper, all the cleaning and washing finally took a toll on my hands. My stiff shoulders got stiffer and the crick in my neck got ‘cricker’. I’m currently suffering from pain on my right hand (the…
