Alycia received her very first salary today and she’s delighted! It’s a 4-figure amount and paid to her in cash. Though not a lot and considered below the minimum wage, it is still a lot to a 17-year old girl in her first temporary job right after SPM and without any experience. My sweet girl…
Korokke (Japanese Potato Croquettes)
Sherilyn made Korokke (Japanese Potato Croquettes) for dinner today. They were super fattening but how can I resist when they’re so so delish and crispy?!

Sherilyn whipped up some yummy Korean fare for lunch and dinner today:Tteokbokki or spicy stir-fried Korean rice cakes for lunch, all made from scratch.

Thursday, 25 February 2021 MCO Lunner – Homemade Sukiyaki
We had a sumptuous lunner of Sukiyaki prepped by chef Sherilyn today! The Sukiyaki sauce is made from scratch and it’s actually very simple. Only 3 ingredients are required: soy sauce, mirin and sugar. We omitted sake as we don’t have it. This is really delish and not salty, unlike super salty ones from restaurants. …
