With Sherilyn on her short semester break, our kitchen has been busier (and yummier!) than usual these past few weeks. She’s been putting her free time to good use — whipping up some pretty impressive dishes, all while we’re currently maid-free. In just the past week alone, this home chef of mine has managed to…

Today’s Lunch ~ 22 March 2025
Today’s lunch was oven-grilled drumettes again ?. We’ve been eating drumettes for a few days this week as they’re on sale at the supermarket. I guess we’re done eating drumettes for the time being. Next week I’m going to cook fish. My menu for Monday is pomfret fish cooked with Portuguese fish curry paste with…
Air-Fried Chicken Drummets – A Flavorful and Easy Meal
Chicken drummets (free from antibiotics and hormones) are currently on sale at my neighborhood supermarket, and I’ve been stocking up on them to air fry and grill. Not only are they delicious, but they’re also incredibly easy to prepare. Alycia and Sherilyn love them just as much as I do, but Cass, being the fussy…
Falling in Love with Arugula: My New Favorite Leafy Green
I never thought I would say this, but I’ve fallen in love with Arugula (wild rocket) salad! Not too long ago, I wasn’t a fan of its slightly bitter, peppery taste. But somehow, my taste buds have evolved, and now I can’t get enough of this nutrient-packed leafy green. It’s perhaps even a superfood. What’s…
A Once-a-Year Treat: Cod Fish
Last week, during our Chinese New Year trip back to Ipoh, my dad gifted me two enormous pieces of cod fish, each weighing at least 500 grams. Cod fish is a rare indulgence for us, as it’s rather pricey in KL. My dad makes it a point to buy this special treat for us once…
Random Happenings at Home This Week
This week has been a whirlwind of activity and emotions in our home, with each day bringing its own unique challenges and moments of reflection. Sherilyn has been pushing herself to the limit, working tirelessly on her architecture assignments. The models she had to build demanded hours of meticulous effort, leaving her with barely three…
Monday, 15 July 2024
The hole where the viral wart used to be is healing well ?. Bleeding is minimal and there’s not much pain when I walk given that I am still tip-toeing on my left foot. I am hopeful that I can start to exercise again with brisk walking by next week. Lunch and dinner for everyone…
Friday Dinner
Cass has figure skating class every Friday. She always eats something that’s not too heavy and low in carbs, yet healthy and yummy before the class. She then skates for almost 5 hours. She’s lucky she has a health freak mommy who supports her low-carbs meals and preps them for her ? As usual, Cass…
Random Updates
I have been busy the past week – with work and house chores. As Alycia can only use one hand temporarily, I have to do almost everything for her, from prepping her food to washing all her dishes, washing her water bottle and filling up water for her, cut her fruits, do her laundry, and…
Camera Crumbs
A dump of my camera crumbs to document the joyful moments here. Next to go on a holiday with me will be Sherilyn! No. of times viewed = 59
Cooking With Tennis Elbow
With a right hand that’s not 100% functional as I cannot lift heavy things, cooking has to be reduced to the bare minimum. Maria can only come to help me once or max twice a week now as she has other houses to go to, on top of her full-time job as a cleaner. She’s…
1 November 2023 ~Tuesday Meals
Today is the first day of the second last month of 2023! Soon we’ll be seeing Christmas decor in the shopping malls. It’s scary to see how fast time is flying by. And before we even have time to recoup from our Christmas shopping spending, then comes Chinese New Year, another very expensive festival ?….
Sweet Corn Pumpkin Soup
As Halloween creeps around the corner, it’s the perfect time to whip up some spooky delights that not only look fantastic but also taste amazing. What better way to celebrate than with a bowl of Sweet Corn Pumpkin Soup? It’s vibrant, velvety, and utterly scrumptious, making it a bewitching treat for the whole family. Ingredients…
A Relaxing Meal Week
This week was a pleasant departure from the usual kitchen duties as I savored a variety of delightful dishes without having to slog in the kitchen. With food from hubby’s kitchen gracing our table almost every day, the burden of cooking was significantly lightened. In addition, Sherilyn, was home for a few days as her…
Throwback Food Snaps
Sherilyn whipped up a big tray of grilled vegetables on Monday morning to make a simple Bibimbap bento to bring to work. I ate some of the grilled veggies for my lunch and hubs ate the remaining the next day. This is my favorite kind of meal and I can eat this every day. Our…
Saturday Night Dinner
Hubs is in Kota Kinabalu for 3 nights. Since it’s a Saturday night and we’re too lazy to go out, Shopee Food it is! After waiting for 40 minutes with no update that a driver has been assigned, I knew that the order would be cancelled. It’s the first day of Hari Raya and as…
