Meetup with Arthur and Lucy

This is another continuation of my memorable trip home recently. One of the special friends that I look forward to meeting again is Arthur, a food blogger that I came to know through blogging. I met him the previous trip I went back. He is a very friendly blogger. His blog is Still Crazy After All These Years. Wonder what is he still crazy about….*big grin*. I better don’t be too nosy and stay out of trouble by not asking, just in case his answer shocked me out of my life….haha. If you want to know, go and ask him yourself. Don’t forget to come back here and tell me, ok?….*big grin*. Arthur was an English teacher so I better don’t make a fool of myself here…..hehe. If he is to mark my English here, I bet there’ll be a lot of red circles or underlines and comments here and there…..haha. Read more

Best Fantastic Buy From Groupon

Beautiful Swarovski jewels (2 rows crystals)

GOT IT! GOT IT! AT LAST I GOT IT! My Swarovski crystal accessories…..YAY! The feeling was SO good….*BIG SMILES*. I got it 2 days ago.

I have been excitedly waiting for this day for quite sometime, to share with you about my exciting hunt for something most beautiful, useful and worthwhile on Groupon! You see, I’m just so blessed and thankful to receive a £50 voucher from Groupon to buy something that I like from Groupon. Nothing can be any better than that. I’m simply truly thankful! Read more

Father’s Day Giant Chewy Cookie

Father's Day giant chewy cookie

Ever thought of a giant cookie? I have. My greatest attempt was only a giant pancake…….haha. I’m sure you have done that too. Making a giant cookie is always on my mind. My definition of a giant cookie means it has to be much bigger than my face…….*big grin*. Won’t it be a great idea to make for Father’s Day which falls on 16th June this year, that is, this Sunday? Yay….I’m going to have great fun and adventure in my kitchen. Read more

Salmon Fish Cakes With Lemon Butter And Chive Sauce

Salmon fish cakes with lemon butter and chives sauce

I must admit that I just love books, especially cookbooks that come with pictures for every recipe. I LOVE the pictures! A very visual person huh……*big smiles*. I’m sure you do, too. I wonder if you would buy a cookbook without pictures. To me you are not very normal if you do….haha. Now you know I am joking. Don’t try and run to the doctor to check out if you do own one. Having said that, I actually have a cookbook WITHOUT pictures! It was given by a very special friend. It’s actually a special collection written by a special author with only limited copies. So, it’s really priceless! Read more

Easy Kaya (Coconut Jam) Cake

Moist and flavourful kaya cake

Told you in my previous post that I will share with you my kaya cake recipe and here I come, though I didn’t expect myself to come so soon…..haha. Keeping a promise is always very refreshing and liberating which is good for the soul. I’m sure you will agree with me on that. And if you like ‘ham chim paeng’, you know I will be back soon to share with you the recipe. So, smile please…..*smiling here*. Read more

My Memorable Trip Home (Cooking and Baking)

Young niece enjoyed whisking eggs and sugar

This is a continuation of my memorable trip home. You can read my previous one at A Memorable Trip Home (Arrival And Election).

My hubby’s side has 10 nieces and nephews, most are still small. On my side, all my nieces and nephews are quite grown up and living in another town. Before I went back, I had already planned to make cakes when I’m in Sibu. Had never done that before. These nieces and nephews often told me that they drool over the pictures on my blog…..awwwww. I just have to make for them. Can’t come back here feeling guilty. Read more

My Memorable Trip Home (Arrival and Election)

Very delicious Kuching laksa

I am finally back to the land of free air condition after being away for about 3 weeks of vacation back to home sweet home in Malaysia. Each time, the thought of going back makes us all over excited. It’s all about seeing our family, relatives and friends and enjoying all the delicious food. But each time when we landed at our final destination after more than 16 hours of flight time, excluding transit time, the heat immediately kills part of the excitement! It doesn’t take long before I would be scratching all over from heat rash…..*big sigh*. This time, the heat finally took its biggest toll on me………headache!…..sob sob. In fact I was glad to be back again to Aberdeen. Stepping out from the air craft into the cool weather is just SO refreshing! It was 10 degrees Celsius when we arrived, not too bad. But then I really miss all my loved ones back home. This just repeats every trip home……*big sigh*. Saving money and counting the days to our next trip home again. Read more

SPAM And Coriander Chewy Spelt Pancakes

Delicious SPAM and Coriander Spelt Pancakes

Landed….landed….landed….at last, back to cold Aberdeen! I had been away back to Malaysia to visit families and friends, on top of enjoying all the best food there. I was away for about 3 weeks. I thought it would be a relaxing time but how wrong. It was all quite a madness….but good and fun madness…..*big grin*. I brought along my laptop with good intention of blogging but my good intention didn’t materialise with actions…..oooops. Just too busy with so many things. In short, time passes too fast! Read more
