It's Chinese New Year Eve!

Tomorrow is Chinese New Year. And hello there! This is the latest bloom from my Bunga Kantan (Torch Ginger) plant.

Freaking Out : PH Eats Raw Beef

Initially I could not bring myself to publish this post. I mean, my intended medium rare steak turned out to be rare. Very rare. No. Raw. 

Vegetables Are Delicious. No?

When I was a kid, I did not like vegetables. I know many of you will say that it is normal. By default, children do not like vegetables. 

Awesome In A Jar

You know I love mutton. And naturally, I love lamb too. Lamb curry? Oh yes! Can curried lamb in a jar taste good?

Japanese Sesame Dressing

Do you like Japanese sesame dressing? I love it. I fell in love with it at a Japanese restaurant and subsequently I discovered the awesome Kewpie sesame dressing.

It's A Slugfest In My Garden

When it rains and the garden is damp, these creatures thrive and roam freely. Slugs. Ugly things that give me the creeps. And they eat my plants. Them and a snail or two. Look.

Mocha Cheesecake Bars

Coffee + Chocolate = Good. Coffee + Chocolate + Cheesecake = Even Better. This second equation is best proven with these Mocha Cheesecake Bars.

Acar Rampai

I love acar (pickles), in particular Nonya acar. It's been a while since I made some . This delicious acar used to grace my family dining table during Chinese New Year. 

Kim Zen Restaurant@The Starling Damansara Uptown (CLOSED)

After exploring The Starling, I suggested to my partner that we should have dinner at Kim Zen Restaurant (non-halal).

Mutton Varuval

Whenever I go to the Indian restaurant for my banana leaf fix, I will always zoom in for the dry mutton curry. I simply cannot resist. Fried chicken, fried fish, chicken curry, fish head curry - please step aside. I want mutton, mutton, mutton!

Daging Kandar (Kandar Beef)

I'm on stalking mode. My victim is my friend Nor, whose blog Secubit Garam I have been stalking lately. 

The Starling Mall@Damansara Uptown

Ahah! It is open! That's old news actually and for a Damansara Uptown resident, I am slow to catch on. Blame that on my flagging sense of adventure. 

My Green Addiction

Ever since I got acquainted with Chimichurri, I am addicted. I eat it with everything - roasted chicken, vegetables and whatever I can get my hands on.

Curry Mee : Annie 1 vs Damansara Kim

Okie. My partner, having tasted the curry mee at Damansara Kim (Restoran Golden Kim Wah) before trying Annie 1's proclaimed that the one at Damansara Kim is by far more superior.

When You Are Not In The Mood To Bake

Don't. Just don't. Because whatever it is that you bake will reflect your state of mind. Whether you are feeling crappy or psychotic, it will show. Trust me.

Chocolate Chips and Peanut Butter Banana Muffins

I set out to bake a Chocolate Chips & Peanut Butter Banana Bread and used a smaller loaf pan instead of a bigger one. That of course left me with excess batter.

Whose Mistake??

Actually it's "beefsteak" but grandma called it "mistake" and no one bothered to correct her. So Mistake it is 😊

In The Mood For....

.... Cookie Cheesecake Bars! Happy New Year everyone! It looks like my baking mojo is back, eh? I don't know how long this will last but while the momentum is on, I shall chug along and bake.
