Reflecting on 2023: Gratitude, Hope, and Wishes for the New Year
As the final moments of 2023 fade into the past, it’s time to reflect on the year that was—a year marked by swift transitions, unexpected turns, health scares, and a myriad of experiences. The passing of 2023 seemed almost like a blink of my eye. In the ebb and flow of life, our family encountered…
Sunday Lunches
Ah Ma Jia Café: A Taste of Grandma’s Cooking
Our usual Sunday routine involves Cass going to Pavillion Bukit Jalil early in the morning for figure skating practice. Her classes are on Friday but she goes to the skating rink on Sunday to practise. We then fetch her back at noon. Next, hubs will go on a food hunt to explore new cafes and…
SunSan Bake at Shanghai Garden, Old Klang Road
My husband is a gourmand in every sense of the word. He’s the kind of person who doesn’t just eat to live; he lives to eat. While some people splurge on clothes, cars or dream of globetrotting adventures, my husband’s heart and wallet are devoted to one thing – food. He’s incredibly generous when it…
30 July 2023 ~ Sunday Lunch at Kayra, Bangsar Village

Dinner at Makoto Unagi Restaurant, Desa Sri Hartamas
Two Sundays ago, we had the pleasure of indulging in a remarkable dinner at Makoto Unagi Restaurant in Desa Sri Hartamas.

Makoto, renowned for its expertise in charcoal-grilled eel,…

Yi Sheng Huat Seafood Restaurant, Pudu, KL
This is a throwback post. Sunday, 5 June 2022 ~ Hubs brought us to try a ‘new’ Chinese ‘tai chow’ restaurant – it’s a first try for us but not for him.

The days spent with Cass at GMC were so overwhelming that it’s hard to repress…

With whatever she can find in the fridge, she has the Midas touch to transform all the ingredients into some very appetizing and…
RMCO Day 53 ~ Saturday, 1 August 2020
I love Saturdays simply because Maria comes in on Saturdays. Maria has been our part-time helper for the last 8 years. She used to come in 5-6 times a week but because we’re on an austerity drive now, a consequence of the MCO and RMCO (and possibly another MCO/restriction order if Malaysians don’t behave and…
