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 1
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 …
Read MoreWhat To Eat in Sungai Dua, Penang 0
Here’s an updated post on what to eat if you are new to Jalan Sungai Dua, the famous stretch of road after you get out of USM Sungai Dua gate. We still eat around this area as our office is still in USM. It’s a cosy neighbourhood where everything is easily accessible!
Read MoreThat Quest For Tau Sar Pneah! 5
Living in Penang for the past decade and more makes me quite Penangite in the sense that I do not truly appreciate the little things Penang are famous for. If you ask me when was the last time I had a plate of sinfully oily char kueh teow, I’d have to think a bit. I …

Over the past few years (and way before Georgetown was declared a UNESCO Heritage site), many people have been intrigued and more than fascinated with old Georgetown. There’s a wealth of history and nostalgia in every crack and pore of these crusty, musty buildings we call pre-war shophouses. Many have a link to their past …
Read MoreMy Life in France 0
I just finished reading Julia Child’s highly delicious memoir called “My Life in France”. It is a delightful, enticing read and one you must not miss if you are interested in cooking and all things French. I picked this book on my first trip to Book Excess in PJ not too long ago. It was …
Read MoreA Little Bit Italian 0
Everyone loves Italian food. They’re simple food yet tasty to the last bite. But I don’t think cooking spaghetti bolognaise is a quick affair, especially if I want to chop fresh tomatoes and mince some meat for the bolognaise sauce after a long day at the office. Recently, I came across a quick spaghetti carbonara …
Read MoreBanana Walnut Muffins, Mayakirana Style 0
If you read this blog, you know I like to bake easy cakes and simple muffins. I don’t fancy long hours in the kitchen, toiling over a hot meal nor do I like spending the whole afternoon making a cake I can eat in a day. There’s just so much of time I could spend …
Read MoreHatyai With Dancing Ladies, Almost Final 0
After such a wonderful foot massage the night before, I woke up with more energy than the day before! While today would be the day we would leave Hatyai, we had planned for more shopping. But first, we needed to fill our tummies. The hotel provided free breakfast but the breakfast spread at Lee Gardens …
