FollowI have been feeling under the weather since yesterday. Yesterday my throat and congested nose were really bad. Today, the congestion on my nose has eased a little but still unable to breathe through my nose — and I hate breathing through my mouth. I could hardly smell and taste my food. No appetite to…

Homemade Buckwheat Noodles and Bubur Cha Cha
Living with a great cook and a foodie hubs who is in the food catering industry, I need to have steely will power not to succumb to temptations of sinfully delish food all the time. And thank God I have that steadfast self control to resist the grub and determination to exercise everyday 😀 These…
Seafood Noodles For The Kids
My girls’ all-time favorite for lunch – noodles with squids (all 3 of them are hooked on squids!), prawns, veggie in a bowl of anchovies soup. I gave them each a hard-boiled free-range chicken egg for added nutrients. They can eat this twice a day, 2 days in a row and fuss-free. And it’s…
Wholesome Pancakes
Today I made pancakes for the girls. Normally I would use organic wholemeal flour but the other day, I bought a pack of PanJack pancake flour to try. For added nutrients and protein, I added 2 big scoops of milk powder and 3 eggs into the batter. The result was REWARDING! My girls loved the…
My Homecooked Dishes
Despite being super busy with my online store and 3 high demand kiddos, I still make it a point to cook for my kids twice a day. Here are just some of my culinary ‘display’ : Braised potato chicken with tomatoes. The sweet and sour taste of the tomatoes is very flavorful and can whet the…
Kaya (Coconut Jam) Cooked In Slow Cooker
I had finished my mum’s homemade kaya and bought those on-the-shelf kaya from the mini mart. But the kaya tasted awful – it was diabetes-inducing sweet and tasteless, with very little santan taste and a tad rancid taste too. My girls love kaya too and they had been asking me for kaya each time they…
Our Simple Homecooked Dinner
Goodies Made With Love From Home
When she’s around, I don’t have to worry about food on the table – 3 meals a day. She prefers homemade breads, cakes, cookies and homecooked food. When she’s around, she would discourage eating out and even discourages buying bread, buns and cakes from the bakery for she will bake them. Here are some of…
Deep Freezing Fried Vermicelli
I always cook large portions of spaghetti and pasta and deep freeze them for Baby. The other day I cooked a big pot of fried vermicelli and decided to try deep freezing them. I had never before tried deep freezing fried vermicelli and I am glad that I experimented doing so, as the defrosted and…
Soup And Tong Sui Maker
My mum recently bought a Primada Grains Nutrition Expert, which is a ‘tong sui’ maker. The maker is primarily to make tong sui from grains – soy beans, mung beans, red beans, barley, white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, white almonds, walnuts, peanuts, brown rice, red rice, black rice and just about any type of grains,…
Homemade Pandan Kaya
During our stay in Ipoh, my parents made kaya four times. The first batch of kaya was SO delish that they were polished off within 2-3 days. The second time round, my mum wanted to try making kaya using the crockpot/slow cooker. But she had forgotten to turn the heat to low when we went…
Croissants For Dinner
Homemade Croutons
Hubby’s aunt made the gals a loaf of white bread the other day. However, the bread was a tad dry and the gals didn’t quite like it. It just didn’t taste like the Gardenia white bread, their favorite white bread. So I kept the bread in the freezer and decided yesterday to make some croutons so…
Homemade Jam And Bread Spread
My mum made some homemade jam and bread spread before she came to visit us last week. She made peanut butter, pandan kaya (a bread spread made of coconut milk, sugar, eggs and screwpine leaves juice), strawberry jam, green bean or mung bean paste and red bean paste – all with reduced sugar as I don’t…
