I didn’t believe it when I heard it. And I still don’t get it but I have seen it. Have you seen grown-ups rush for chicken wings? And in 10 seconds, all the BBQ chicken wings are gone. An amazing sight. Cecilia, BL and Noel are regulars at this steamboat joint each time they are [...]

I like making muffins because they’re so easy. Just mix the dry ingredients into the wet and spoon into muffin cases and bake. No need to use a handheld mixer. The hard part is, if you over-mix your batter, you may end up with tough and dense muffins. Recently I found a muffin recipe in [...]

This is the beginning of the many parts of our Hong Kong sojourn, a trip we made in late March this year. Nic and I decided to make good on our promise to visit a dear friend who works in this vibrant country. I’d been to Hong Kong in 1996 but that was a long [...]

It’s terrible to be disappointed. And it’s worse to disappoint your friends, especially when they’ve built up this humongous anticipation of what you told them. A few nights ago, Nic and I took a friend for a meal of satay. We’d brought other friends to this place and they had all loved it. Granted, it [...]

Shopping in Kuching is quite a tricky thing. Modern malls are becoming a way of life but we tend to go for the other type of shopping when we’re here. Local foodstuff and pottery are more of our kind of shopping. First, pottery and ceramics are unique because Sarawak-made pots, mugs, lamps, decor items and [...]

I can’t keep this secret to myself any longer as she’s going to officially start selling her cookies soon and with a website to boot too. I’ve been privileged to move to my new neighbourhood and automatically get new neighbours who are both like friends and family. It’s been great settling in and making new [...]

Yoke Pin actually started with the history of Balik Pulau laksa which is quite apt as people do arrive in hoardes for this noodle dish. Of course, Nic and I were privileged to hear the OTHER laksa story, as told to us by Mr Tan, the equally famous laksa stall owner. But then again, he [...]

Don and Mylene took us to this corner coffee shop last Sunday for a scrumptious lunch. They both are past retirement age but boy, do they have the energy to shame twentysomethings and thirtysomethings! As Green Crusaders for the environment, they go all over Malaysia to give free talks on recycling and composting. Yes, free. [...]

I have been doing a lot of stuff lately and yes, I know, I’ve been so tardy in updating Mayakirana. I probably blame it on stuff that’s called Life. First there’s the new house of course. I call it a house but it’s an apartment that’s on terra firma. Of course like all new toys [...]

I know. What a title isn’t it? You must have thought I’d gone nuts. But the title of this post stands because… I really got some recipes from my car servicing centre this afternoon although I did get more than pissed. I got pissed because the people keep telling you to change this and that [...]
