When I was growing up, my Hokkien grandmother would often cook Hokkien mee for us during gatherings. My brother especially loves these noodles and would slurp up bowl after bowl. Hokkien mee can refer to Hokkien hae mee (from Penang) or Hokkien char mee (fried noodles from KL), and the one my grandmother...
Now that they're getting older, the kids love spending more and more time in the kitchen with me. They love it when I give them simple tasks to do, like breaking the eggs into a bowl and beating them, cutting up vegetables (with a scissors), or sifting the flour for a bake.I have bookmarked Curtis...

We've seen him on TV plenty of times and I've cooked many of his recipes, so when we were in Aberdeen, Hubby offered to take us to Jamie Oliver's restaurant, Jamie's Italian located on Union Street in the formerEsselmont Macintosh department store. This is Jamie's third Scottish restaurant which...
Asian women would usually undergo "confinement" for 30 days after giving birth to their child. During the confinement period, this dish of ginger wine chicken is commonly eaten as it is believed that ginger is good for expelling wind, helping blood circulation and is good for body recuperation (believed to...
Any dish with eggs as the main star will likely get my attention. I have heard and read quite a lot about "Spanish-style baked eggs" so I was most interested to try out Curtis Stone's version of it. Plus the recipe here suggests that this could be prepared in under 10 minutes. Quick recipes = my...
Before we moved to KL, I have never tried chilli pan mee辣椒板麺before. Nowadays, it is a weekly staple for us. Pan mee(板麺), literally translates to "flat flour noodles" and can either be served with soup or dry. My favorite version is the chilli pan mee, which originated in Kuala...
We asked some of Hubby's friends for good restaurant recommendations in Aberdeen and Café 52 at The Green was recommended. In the past, we have walked past this cafe many times (to go to one of our favorite seafood restaurants, Bistro Verde just opposite the road) but never ate here as we had the...
This is something we often cook when we're feeling lazy or have had a busy day. One pot dishes are great as it means that you just put all your ingredients in one pot, sit back and relax, and best of all, there is less washing up to do too! One of our favorite one-pot dishes is chicken rice.An easy...
After searching for months, I finally found this mulberry plant that I can plant in my garden. Mulberry (in chinese it's called "song yip"), the fruits change from green to red (ripening) to black when fully ripe. My kids love visiting the plant (almost everyday) to see if any fruit are ready to be eaten ;)

The restaurant is located at the top of Jalan Telawi 3, for convenience you can park in Bangsar Village and walk there.The interior is pretty basic but comfortable enough. When we visited, we were the only two...
It was all my brother's fault. You see, he baked an apple cake (which looked really delicious), posted it on Instagram, my mum saw it, then she asked me to bake one too. This whole Instagram thing is contagious, I tell you.Being a good daughter, I baked this apple as per mum's request. Not very pretty...
This dairy cow must be used to people taking photographs of her...Moooo.... back to grazing on her grass..
Deep fried Mars bar is a snack loosely connected to Scotland. Now and then when I have conversations with foodie friends about food from Scotland, deep fried Mars bar would pop up, though Hubby says that there is nothing really Scottish about it except for its birthplace.The Carron Fish Bar in...
Inarguably one of the most famous Scottish dishes is haggis. It is usually served with neeps (turnips) and tatties (potatoes). Hubby volunteered to cook this for us for dinner one evening during our holiday.Haggis, neeps and tatties and a dramHaggis is a savoury pudding, traditionally made from sheep's...
Salmon is a fish which I love eating raw (salmon sashimi) or even smoked, but not so much when it is cooked. However, give me oven baked or pan fried salmon trout, and I would happily eat it. Strange but true. I find that salmon trout still have a very smooth and tender texture even when cooked. Salmon...
Recently bought a Vietnam apple plant, am so happy that we have one teeny apple growing now ;) Can't wait to try it! If you enjoyed my photos, please LIKE me on Facebook! Thanks ;)

It's great when we dine in a restaurant, enjoy the meal there and go home feeling inspired to recreate a certain dish. This was the case after we dined at Botanical, whereby we really enjoyed the Pear Avocado Salad. Here is our take on the salad with a honey dressing.Avocado, pear and rocket salad...
