FollowI spent almost the entire day with Cass at Pantai Medical Center today. Cass’ routine yearly ultrasound scan of her urinary tract for this year is overdue. The date that I got from HKL (Hospital KL) to see the doctor is in January 2018 but I didn’t want to wait so long and didn’t want…

Making Crispy Meat Floss With Bread Maker
During my stay in Ipoh over the Deepavali holidays last week, my mum showed me how to make crispy meat floss using her bread maker. She had recently given me a Tesco bread maker. It’s pretty simple to make this crispy meat floss using the bread maker. According to the recipe, cooked meat (pork or…
Quick Home-Cooked Lunch
Pan-Fried Soy Sauce Prawns
Today I wanted to teach Cass to be responsible at home by helping to clear and clean the table after lunch. If Alycia and Drama Queen are around, they would be the ones to clear and clean the dining table after every meal. They are normally not around for lunch on school days. After lunch,…
Pan-Fried Five Spice Powder Chicken Fillet
Now that the mil is back from Hawaii, I feel a little weight taken off my shoulders ? This weight that I am talking about is cooking lunch and dinner. For someone who is not that passionate about cooking, cooking can sometimes be stressful for me. When I had live-in helpers, I liked cooking very much.…

Tomyam Fish
I bought a packet of Mak Nyonya tomyam paste the other day. As our girls cannot stomach a dish that’s too spicy, I only use a couple of tablespoons of paste each time to cook the dish. This packet of tomyam paste is enough for me to cook three dishes: tomyam fried rice, tomyam fish…
Monday Lunch – 17 July 2017
Lunch today was cooked at the spur of the moment. I had wanted to get takeout lunch but when I was looking at the fridge planning what to cook for dinner, I had this craving for something light and easy since we had spicy Korean food the day before. Our lunch at Oiso Korean Restaurant…
Wednesday Night Dinner – Yee Mee With Braised Minced Pork
Yesterday’s dinner was a quickie as Alycia has Math tuition to attend at 8 p.m. every Wednesday. This means that I have to start cooking at 4:30 p.m.; then eat at 5:30 p.m.; dinner over at 6:30 p.m.; give her an hour to shower and dilly dally before her friend’s mum comes to pick her…
Turmeric Roast Chicken
The first dinner that I cooked after the mil left for Hawaii two days ago is roast chicken. For the next one month, cooking meals for the family will be my responsibility. After half a year of hiatus in cooking and feeling really indolent now, I need time to warm up with simple dishes before…
Post Laproscopic Myomectomy Surgery
I got my period yesterday – 9 days after the laproscopic myomectomy surgery. My surgeon had warned me that the flow will be very heavy this time but subsequent periods will see a normal flow. Though my Aunt Flow is quite heavy this time, it pales in comparison with the periods I’ve had during my…
Healthy Meals Before Surgery
My Tuesday – 23 May 2017
Five more days to go before I go under the knife. The clock is ticking away…. This will be my fourth surgery, of which three were C-section deliveries and one was a laproscopic ovarian drilling. The laproscopic myomectomy surgery that I am scheduled to go through will be performed at the same hospital that I…
Random Matters – 5 May 2017
Today marks the 8th anniversary of my 3-week nightmarish stay at GMC Penang with Cass. She went in for a Uretheral Reimplantation surgery on 5 May 20o9. Something awfully awry happened during the surgery. There was a complication and she was operated on 2 weeks later, after many X-rays, ultrasound scans, a CT-Scan and a…
