Not-So-Red Velvet Cake!

Star Q


This is my second attempt at making this cake, all be cause my first daughter requested for it.  I always wonder why the intense desire for this cake because I personally cannot pin-point the difference (from any other ordinary butter cake) Actually, the first time I made it was in cupcakes form; that was out of sheer curiosity!

Another No-Bother Order!

Star Q


It's great doing things for fun especially when it comes to cooking!  I remember reading some words of wisdom that sounds something like this : 'If you love your work, you will never work all your life!'  Well, cooking is not exactly my livelihood, but I must say I love doing it!

Bruschetta Kita!

Star Q


It's Saturday morning and I was at the morning market with my youngest girl.  It's only the two of us today because the missus has gone spend the night at her sister's place.  She will be part of the 'rombongan merisik' for her nephew.  I couldn't attend because I have a baking class (baking class? haha!)

Simple Roast Chicken for Potluck!

Star Q


This morning we had another potluck session in our staff room.  In fact potlucks have become like a trend here in our room, that every time we want to have one, it becomes almost like an event; everyone planning what to bring!

Char Koay Teow

Star Q


The whole family was actually looking forward to a simple dinner!  Fried flat noodles (or Char Koay Teow) is something we usually have for breakfast.  But when the kids, there would be cockles and prawns in the dish,  they cheered with joy!

Beef Rendang Sendayan

Star Q


Today is Idul Adha, and unlike Idul Fitri celebrated two months back, we are celebrating it here in our own home.  I guess it is a different feeling to celebrate Raya in your own home, especially being the elder in the family, you wait for your children to come home, to celebrate the festivity with you and your better half.

Snowballs for Idul Adha

Star Q


This Friday the 26th of October will mark yet another religious festival for the Muslims.  It may not be as grand as Idul Fitri which was celebrated in August, but it is still a celebration nevertheless.  And when it is Raya, kids (and the kids-at-heart!) will want cookies to usher in the celebration.
