Drama Queen and I have been tucking into lunches at our neighborhood shops almost daily since the start of the school year in January this year. After lunch, I will drop her off in school. It’s the first time that she’s in an afternoon session in school. After about a month of having noodles, chicken…

Macaroni And Cheese With Grilled Chicken Drummets
Wednesday evenings are hectic for me. After prepping dinner, I rush off to fetch Drama Queen from school. She only has about 15-20 minutes to eat her dinner before I send her to the tuition center. Her BM tuition class starts at 7:30 p.m. So I always plan a quickie home-cooked dinner for Wednesdays. And…
Home-made Meat Patties / Burger
Since it was a public holiday yesterday, I decided to embark on a little project that’s been long sitting in my bucket list ~ making burgers. The girls LOVE burgers ~ Burger King and Mac Donalds especially but this is an occasional holiday food. We only eat burgers when we travel back to Ipoh by…
Monday Dinner – 29 Jan 2018
Malaysia’s ‘summer’ is slowly rearing its ugly head. This also means that Chinese New Year is coming soon. Though it’s been raining almost daily, the weather has been really hot and stuffy. Even when it’s pouring hard, it’s still not cooling but humid. Today I showered 5 times (washed my hair 3 times!). When I’m…
Home Cooked Dinners (22 ~ 24 January 2018)
Hello everyone! Sorry for the lack of update in my blogs. I’ve been busier than in previous years ever since Drama Queen started attending high school this year. I have extra school runs and tuition runs to do (from morning through night) and an extra chore job of cooking dinner (and sometimes lunch) as the mil…
Baked Cheese Fried Rice
I have about 10 minutes for this post before I make a dash to the kitchen to dish out yet another quickie dinner in under an hour before the final school run of the day. Every evening is a mad rush in the kitchen and then to school. Traffic is horrendous whenever it rains. Yesterday…
Grilled Chicken In Lemon Garlic Butter Pumpkin Sauce
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 = 16
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…
