While Malaysia is celebrated for its bountiful durian harvests, Singapore elevates the king of fruits into artisanal desserts—and The Durian Bakery is where this transformation truly shines. Famous for its award-winning durian cake, silky-layered crepe cake, and pillowy mochi, the bakery has carved out a…

Thai Desserts
During my recent trip to Bangkok, my sweet tooth was thoroughly satisfied. Thanks to Alycia’s research and guidance, we embarked on a whirlwind tour of Thai street food bazaars found in different shopping malls, sampling a plethora of mouthwatering desserts that showcased the vibrant flavors of Thailand’s culinary heritage. Our adventure began at some of…
Souvenirs and Snacks From Bangkok
I hadn’t intended to buy too many snacks from Bangkok because Thai snacks are not the healthiest of snacks – they are mostly deep-fried, very salty or sweet, or contain a lot of food additives. But I succumbed to the allure of Thailand’s culinary delights, resulting in a delightful collection of savory snacks and sweet…

This week Sherilyn is staying home for remote learning. She went to school last week. Next week will be the last week that Sherilyn attends physical classes in school before the year end school holidays begin. I’ve been clocking in only 5-6 hours of shut-eye for the last two weeks, including Saturdays and Sundays. I…
Nancy Chong’s Butter Icing Butter Cake
A good friend of hubs went to Ipoh and got him the much raved about Nancy Chong butter icing butter cake as Christmas gift. I’ve heard and read so much about Nancy Chong’s cake but never had the chance to try it until today. And it’s really delicious, although we find the icing too sweet.…
Our Talented Teenage Chef
Alycia and I realized that our dear in-house chef has a special preference when it comes to cooking. She seems to really enjoy making sushi/Gimbap and egg rolls. And everything Korean and Japanese! With whatever she can find in the fridge, she has the Midas touch to transform all the ingredients into some very appetizing and…

HFM’s Breakfast
The clock is ticking away to the day that Maria, my beloved part-time helper of 7 years goes on a 3-month maternity leave ~ only two more days with us ? Though Maria can’t do much strenuous work lately, we still love having her around in the evening to help us wash the dishes and do…
Durian For Breakfast
Here’s what I had for my mid-morning breakfast today. Two seeds of Durian ‘kampung’ And four slices of Meiji oat crackers slathered with papa’s delicious homemade pandan kaya. Lately, I can only tolerate durian ‘kampung’ well without the adverse side effects that I get whenever I eat Musang King. With Musang King, I am sure…
Breakfast
My breakfast today consists of a small bowl of Amazin’ Graze salted Gula Melaka granola with Yoplait vanilla yoghurt, a banana, half an avocado, an orange and a small cup of coffee. Also popped 3 caps of Super Lutein, my most trusted antioxidant and vitamins for my eyes. This is my typical breakfast on most…
Distraction
I am in trouble. Serious trouble. No, I don’t have 1 trillion Ringgit in debts. But I have sleep debts, backlog of work and yet, I can’t keep my eyes away from the news. I try hard not to go to Facebook but my phone is beeping away from my Whatsapp notification on incoming messages.…
My Monday Morning
My Breakfast – 10 October 2017
On a rare school day morning, I skipped exercising today. For those who know me well will know that I hardly ever skip my morning exercise, unless I am feeling really debilitated like a chicken with the pip. My morning exercise is my jam, a time where I do my soul-searching and meditation. It wasn’t…
The Ultimate Popcorn
Of all the brands of popcorns that I have tasted, the ultimate luxurious popcorn goes to Garrett. No other brands come close to it. I love them to bits and this means inches creeping up my waist. Garrett’s popcorns are my ultimate kryptonite. But we don’t splurge on them often as they are the Rolls…

Today, their mission is to try my aunt’s homemade vegetarian food. My aunt has been making her own vegetarian food and…
