Hello to my new favorite grilled chicken in lemony, garlicky, buttery and pumpkin sauce! This recipe is not what I intended to prep in the first place. I had wanted to prep a lemon garlic and butter sauce for my grilled chicken but I didn’t have any chicken stock with me, thus I used my…

My Thursday ~ 11 Jan 2018
It’s been a cold and wet day the whole of today. After 1.5 days of torturous chills, backache and fever, my high fever finally broke last night. The downside of being a WFHM (or SAHM for that matter) is that work has to CONTINUE whether or not you are fit or ill. Donning on a…
Our Thursday, 7 Dec 2017
I 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…
Brunch On Monday, 27 Nov 2017
The hubs sent home some piping hot and delicious sambal prawns that his wonderful chef cooked on a lovely Monday morning. I was pleased as punch as the yummy prawns came at the right time. That will be for our brunch and all I needed to do was to blanch some noodles to go with…
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
Throwback – lunch that I quickly prepped for Cass, which took me just 15 minutes: Blanched cha soba seasoned with sesame seed oil, toasted organic sesame seeds, seasoned Korean seaweed and boiled homemade dumplings. Simple, wholesome and healthy, yumsss! No. of times viewed = 14
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….
Simple, Nutritious And Yummy Home-Cooked Dishes
This week will be the last week that I have to slog in the hot evenings to dish out dinner, woohoo! The mil will be back from Hawaii on Saturday. I can have back the 1-2 hours daily to do my work on the computer instead of playing chef in the hot kitchen to prep…

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
Four more days to go before the long awaited day! Bring it on! These days, I am very careful with what I put into my mouth. I make sure that what goes into my body is not ‘tuk‘ (poisonous in Cantonese) and is low in sugar. I try to eat more iron-rich foods, more fruits…
