My Life In Photos The Past Week

Alycia is having a one month semester break and classes will only resume on 25th April. As she hardly goes out to exercise under the sun, I dragged her out to walk with me to the nearby kopitiam to have breakfast last Saturday morning. And here we are at the open air kopitiam, sweating buckets…

My Life In Photos This Week – Glorious Food

Another week whizzed past us ever so quickly. The days seem to pass by even quicker when one is busy. Maria our part-time maid has not come to work for more than a week. Initially I thought that she again gave her priority to other employers who are offering her higher wages. But today I…

Sunday, 5 March 2023

My Sundays for the past one month has been like this – lunch with hubs and Alycia, just the three of us while Cass attended her figure skating lessons at the skating rink, the mil has her own activities on Sundays and the SPM girl stayed home to study. Our life was pretty much like…

Throwback Food Snaps

Sherilyn’s SPM written tests started on Monday this week with BM paper. With four papers done and dusted this week, she has five more papers to conquer. In 2.5 weeks’ time, she’ll be free! And I’ll be free from my Grab driver duties for her. And free from having to pay her expensive tuition fees…

Throwback Food Snaps

A couple of Sundays ago, hubs and I had brunch at La Juiceria Superfoods, just the both of us as everyone else at home had something to do. I’ve always wanted to try the healthy meals at La Juiceria. Their meals are my kind of food – mostly meat-free, low in carbs, and high in…

Michelin-Approved Seafood Noodles Restaurant – Hai Kah Lang

Yesterday was the 5th day of Chinese New Year and since hubs had some time in the morning, he drove us to Yulek, Cheras to sample the freshest seafood noodles at Hai Kah Lang, a Michelin-approved seafood noodles restaurant. Hai Kah Lang was awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand 2022 recently. The judge commented, “Rest assured,…

Chinese New Year 2023

Koong Hei Fatt Choy, peeps!  I hope everyone is enjoying the Chinese New Year holidays with your family and loved ones.  And for those of you who dread CNY and can’t wait for it to be over because it’s just so frigging exhausting with non-stop cooking, cleaning up, entertaining (hello nosy and insensitive relatives!), and…

Throwback Food Snaps

This aunty here is walking with a spring in her step ? Just a moment ago I bumped into my car park neighbor at the basement. We have not crossed path with each other for almost a month due to the school holidays. We greeted each other and chatted. As usual, our conversation is always…

Throwback Snaps

A good friend became a grandmother for the first time and sent us a lovely baby full-moon package on her grand daughter’s full-moon. The full-moon package came with a whole fried chicken, Nasi Kunyit (turmeric rice), red eggs and angku kuih. Everyone ate all the nice parts of the fried chicken and left the breast,…

Ayam Brand, The Trusted Brand

I grew up eating canned baked beans and sardines by Ayam Brand. It’s the trusted brand of choice by my parents. Naturally for me now, Ayam Brand is my brand of choice when it comes to buying canned food for my own family. Our family’s favorite Ayam Brand products have always been canned tuna, saba,…

Saturday, 24 September 2022

Now that things are almost back to normal after a hiatus of 2.5 years, hubs and I have started to have our quick morning breakfast or brunch together again. We usually have our meals at eateries in our hood as it has to be quick – the both of us have work to do and…

Our Meals

We hardly cook elaborate meals these days. Ever since Maria stopped coming three weeks ago because of bad morning sickness (she’s expecting her 2nd baby), we have not had any other helper coming in. It’s manageable without a helper if we don’t cook. We get takeout or order from Shopee Food on most days and…

Chinese New Year 2022 – Day 2

After two full days of cooking on CNY Eve and CNY day 1, hubby gave us a break from cooking for Hoi Leen Farn today! Eating out is always music to our ears. The girls were happy becoz they don’t have to wash the dishes and I don’t have to do the dreaded massive clean…

Domino’s Pizza For Dinner

Today is a day where everyone was busy with their respective things. Alycia had a driving trial exam to sit for at the driving academy, Sherilyn had a dental appointment to change the orthodontics rubber band for her braces, Cass had online classes almost the entire day, the MIL has been busy the past two…
