It’s only when guests or friends come to Penang that I make that mad effort to find new places to dine. Most times, we’re lazy and eat around our area which to me is rather sad and boring. I mean, how many times can you eat “chee cheong fun” for breakfast before you kind of …

Did I tell you I have a pomegranate tree in my backyard? It’s about 5 years old – a tree that I grew from some leftover pomegranate seeds from a huge pomegranate I bought at one of the fruit stalls at Lorong Kulit. In the initial years, it was a spindly thing. At that time, …
Read MoreTwo Buttery Delicious Recipes 2
I’ve always wanted to bake a butter cake but somehow, some butter cake recipes are to be dumped. (I’ve tried a few and most turned out either too dense or too dry. I simply can’t stand a dry butter cake!) Nic loves butter cakes. He loves anything with butter. He’s such a butter fiend that …

You know, sometimes before I fall asleep, I have a million and one ideas for my blog. And when I wake up the next day, damn. The ideas have flown. Last night was one of those nights. Had a bunch of ideas to write about. Well, good news…I have recovered from being a total sick …
Read MoreA Must Try Bread Recipe For Every Newbie Baker 10
By now you would’ve known that I got myself a bread machine if all those bread recipes haven’t clued you in yet. Yes. It was either this or the magic thermal cooker (which I figured would help me make soups without watching the fire on the stove). In the end I chose the bread machine …

As you know, I’ve been in a bread-baking mode ever since I got my bread machine. I’ve had it for a few months now and I’ve made bread for my aunts and mom who are often surprised that homemade bread tastes rather good and yes, it is possible to make bread at home. See? That’s …

As you know, I got hooked on Pinterest recently. It’s been such a visual heaven that it’s hard resisting. And the fact that I can pin stuff using the iPad just makes it….errr…a lot easier to get lost in other people’s boards. It’s a bit like voyeurism. You get to sneak a peek (actually many …
Read MoreThe Kechara Salad 2
I came across this recipe in my Flavours magazine sometime ago. It sounded like a really great way to use purple (or is it called red) cabbage – I love purple coloured fruits and vegetables but I’ve never ever entertained the idea of stirfrying purple cabbage. It would certainly look quite weird! So this Kechara …

I’m not a big fan of tau sar pneah although Nic is. He loves them to bits and can eat a few at one go, especially if they’re going with brewed coffee. Soh Peng’s little adventure with finding tau sar pneah the last time she visited was enlightening, especially for me. I was a little …
