Chapati ~ 'Malaysian Monday no. 7'
I always had the misconception that Chapati had to be made with ghee and not being a ghee fan, I always preferred to go for roti canai instead. Now that I know that ghee can be replaced with vegetable oil and since I've tried some Chapati made with vegetable oil recently, I've grown to like it ............. 'Chapati', unleavened Indian flatbread!Read on for the Rec...

Anniversary Post ~ Walnut Streusel Cake
My blog is one year old today! In a blink of an eye, a year has passed. I can vividly remember that a year ago I was very sceptical about embarking on this project ........'Blogging', as my IT knowledge is very, very limited. I dare not say that I've accomplished a lot but knowing my own capabilities, to me this is already an achievement. I'm glad that I've made so many friends...

Koay Teow Bandung ~' Malaysian Monday no. 6'
This 'Koay Teow Bandung' is my favourite whenever I patronise the Idris Room of the Royal Ipoh Club, so much so that the waiter will automatically jot it down whenever he passes me the menu. The Royal Ipoh Club is more than 100 years old and dates back a long time during the British colonial rule, totally restricted to whites, like planters, tin miners and administrators.However,...

Durian Cake ~ Malaysian Monday No. 5
Durian, the King of Fruits in Malaysia is in season now. This thorny fruit may be fragrant to some but offensive and overpowering to others. While some may describe the fruit as 'smells like hell but tastes like heaven'! The long lingering odour has led to the fruit being banned from hotels and public transportation in South East Asia. The pulp comes in shades of yellow...
Fruit and Nut Plait
I made this bread a few days ago and thought the plaiting was fairly easy. I was and still am not good at any handwork or sewing and was struggling with the 3 strips of dough and that brought back fond memories of my mum. I had waist length hair when I was little and every morning she would plait my hair into 2 pigtails while I sat munching my bread before I got on...
