Berry Chocolately Bread
This is my breakfast today: Milo sprinkled on homemade wholewheat bread with sliced jumbo sized strawberries. This is anytime healthier than char koay teow, chee cheong fun, curry laksa or nasi lemak eh? I realize that if I cut down on deep fried, oily and spicy food, the monthly zits will stop bothering my face.…
A Bite Of East and West
Had this for breakkie this morning… My fusion creation of east meeting west — homemade walnut-rye bread with Surgers butter, drizzled with maple syrup from Canada and topped with freshly grated coconut, simply wholesome and yummy! As usual my breakfast will only be complete after downing a hot mug of Japanese matcha. I am very…

During our food hunt in our recent Ipoh trip, we brought the girls to visit a Heong Peang ‘factory’ in Gunung Rapat, Ipoh, before adjourning to Sam Poh Toong Caves. From the facade of the makeshift ‘factory’ housed in an attap house in one of the ‘kampung’ of Gunung Rapat, no one, absolutely no one…

Not So Unhealthy Chips
Remember my earlier post on Food For Friends organic tortilla chips? I got another pack and this time, I got the multi-colored veggie flavored one. The red chips are made from beet root powder, green ones from spinach powder and yellow ones from organic corns. Yums, feel so good when I munch on them. Can…

Sweet Macarons From Les Deux Garcons, Taman Desa, KL
So much about the latest rave and craze on macarons, my hubs bought 2 boxes from a bakery that manufacturers fine French desserts to try. The only macarons that I had tried were the ones that my mum used to bake from left-over egg whites decades ago. Her macarons were very crispy and sometimes she…

More CNY Snacks
On Saturday, we bought more CNY cookies and snacks from our neighborhood road-side stall vendors: Deep fried arrowroot chips (RM13), ‘bee hives’ (RM18, this is by far the best ‘bee hives’ biscuit I’ve ever tasted. It’s light, not oily at all and not too sweet), peanut-sesame seed candies (RM12), roasted almonds in shell (RM18). This morning when…
Our Saturday
The girls had a very pleasant surprise last night when half way through dinner, daddy (a basketball buff) came home after watching a basketball tourney with a bag of goodies for them. There were 4 devil’s horns headbands, one of which is battery-operated headgear with lights, a huge plastic toy axe, 2 huge foams in the shape…

Light Meals For Me
As my belly is becoming bigger each day, I can only stomach light meals but frequent meals throughout the day. A heavy meal would leave me feeling really uncomfortable and at times have slight heartburn. After breakfast of a hard boiled egg, some fruits, a glass of fresh milk, a handful of almonds and some cookies almost everyday,…
Lotus Root Chips
I think these lotus root chips are a new snack this Chinese New Year as I have not seen these last year. I’ve seen many stalls at the pasar malam (night market) selling these for the past one month. Out of curiosity, I asked my mil to buy me a bottle when she went to the SS2 market last…
