I am back again! Life has been very busy lately that whenever I get home from class, I am just too tired to even update the blog. There are quite a number of recipes that I would love to share but some of them have no photos. So, I shall put the recipes up once I've photographed the outcomes. Besides...
Banana, in my opinion, is best eaten on its own. But there are times when you have way too much bananas at home that you could not swallow any of it anymore. These are the times when you can get very creative, by either making pancakes, muffins, pies etc. Every week I would have at least one banana...
About a week ago marked my first month being away from home. There's another 8 long months to go before I can fly back to Malaysia. But.. Let's not dwell on that. In all honesty, I find it hard to believe that I am finally here, all alone, far away from home, doing the most demanding course ever,...
I don't know what's got into me. Even before the holiday started, I had a list of things that I want to do but now, almost two months have passed by and nothing has been crossed off the list yet. I am EXTREMELY lazy. Sigh. There's only over a week left of Ramadhan, I can't believe it went by so fast. As...
Wow! Six months of not posting anything at all.. quite some time isn't it? Well, two weeks since the start of the holiday have gone by and I have yet to share any of my recently tried recipes. Since I'm feeling quite excited about photographing the food I make, I hope I wouldn't be neglecting this blog any...
My family enjoys eating scones and the first recipe that I tried was Rachel Allen's recipe. It is a great basic scone recipe, which can be added with many other flavours such as fruits and nuts to suit your taste palette. However, there are times when you feel like you want to try something new; new...
Chocolate and orange - a match made in heaven. The sweet-scented orange compliments the slight bitterness of the chocolate.. Ahhh.. They are just perfect together. I can never have enough of them. That's why I can eat Lindt - Orange Intense chocolate bar all by myself, despite the fact that they don't do...
I would come home every weekend and there would be people asking me, how do I control myself from falling into temptations? There's tv to be watched, fast wi-fi to go online and cars to be driven out.. How do I contain myself? The truth is, I don't really watch tv, I surf the internet everyday does not...
It's finally November! A few months have passed and exam is just around the corner, my final semester exam before sitting for the IB exam in May 2013. The third semester has almost come to an end. Time sure flies. Anyways, school was hectic. With lots of IAs, ToK, tests and placement stuffs, life just...
Yesterday was Abah's birthday and few days back was Umi's. So happy birthday to you both! May your lives will be filled with joy and laughter! :) My sister and I were tired of thinking of what to bake for them (every year we would make them something and I guess this year was the simplest). Since I bake...
Focaccia is a very versatile Italian flat-bread. I think it is quite similar to pizza but somehow they are not considered as one. This bread is very easy to make and can be made at any time of the day as it takes less than an hour to get it ready on the table. Since Umi is feeling like eating bread and I...
One more week to go before all the Year 1 students need to pass up their Extended Essay first draft. I am only done with the introduction and the body of the essay. Oh God, help me to get through IB! :( This semester is going to be a very important one, as it will determine our placement. I am hoping and...
Guess what? I have finally found my favourite chocolate cupcakes recipe. It is so easy to make and you could certainly whip this up at the very last hour if you have unexpected guests coming, except for of course, you might need to let the cupcakes cool down for a little while before you put on the...
When I was small, I used to hate lasagna as I find it being too rich and cheesy. However, as I grow up, I begin to fall in love with this Italian dish. I still remember, it would always be my eldest sister who would make this. Now that I have developed an intense passion towards baking, I too, can make the...
Few more days to go before holiday starts! I seriously can't wait for holidays, I've been aching for it long enough. My body is tired, my mind is exhausted. I'm in a serious need of a break. Oh Wednesday, do come fast! I had a very packed schedule last week, with the Minggu Bahasa Antarabangsa going on,...
Last week seemed like a very long week. I've been waiting for weekends to come since Monday. And now we have actually come to a new Monday. Time just flies.. I really want to update my blog as often as I could. However, I just can't seem to put my words right when constructing a sentence. Then I would...
When I was in Paris the other day, I found POM in one of their very few super marches. I remembered that I saw a recipe which uses this in their frozen yogurt recipes, so I bought a bottle of its pomegranate juice. At first, I thought it was a concentrated juice but it's not. It's just like any normal...
Mom got home from work with some bread that one of patients gave her. It was a sweet bread with cinnamon and lots of dried fruits (raisins, dried orange peel, dried cranberries etc) in it. Though I don't celebrate Christmas, but somehow the bread reminded me of Christmas. I know that my siblings would not...
In these past few days, I've been cruising through some food blogs that I stumble upon on foodgawker and tastespotting. They have tons of amazing photos of their food on the blog. How I wish one day I could take equally good photos. I guess I need to learn from the experts and just practice more. For now,...
Semester 1 in KMB has officially ended and I have a month break now. I was really looking forward to the holiday because this semester exam has made me feel mentally and physically exhausted. I just need some good rest. What are my plans for the break? Nothing much really. My family and I will be going...
