Pomelo Salad with Tripe/Kerabu Limau Bali & Babat

Star Q


Chinese New Year sees a lot of fruits that we normally do not get all year round.  Unlike apples and oranges for example, Pomelos usually appear when it gets closer to celebrating the Luna New Year and slowly makes it exit almost after the fifteenth.  There are two main types of pomelos; the pink-fleshed ones and the white-fleshed ones.

Nasi Lemak Berlauk / Coconut Rice with Sides

I just got back from visiting my dad in KL.  It's been nearly six months since we met; the last time was during last year's Eid Fitri.  A lot of things had been cropping up every time I made plans to visit him, but such is the situation in a teacher's life.  In fact, the school administrator suggested that we come back to work last Wednesday even though our school has got an extended one-week holiday for Chinese New Year.

Celebratory Carrot Cake

Star Q



No!  I'm afraid I did not make this to celebrate Chinese New Year!  Although, I would like to wish all my Chinese friends celebrating it a very happy and prosperous Luna New Year!

Blueberry and White Chocolate Muffins

Star Q


I just love blueberries.  It's just the way they explode in your mouth when you bite into a mouthful of cake!  It seems we've been importing more blueberries nowadays compared to strawberries.  I have noticed that there are no differences between the berries imported from Holland, Indonesia (yes! Indonesia) and Argentina (like this batch!)  All just as sweet!

Fish in Pomegranate Sauce

Star Q


There are many alternative health products in the market nowadays, making it a daunting task to choose one that suits you.  The fact that many people, including non-public figures, endorsing the products, makes the task an even more difficult one.

Steamed Corn Cakes / Kek Jagung Kukus

Star Q


Okay!  My sister, her husband and their five kids came over all the way from KL almost a week ago with my dad.  We had already cooked for lunch when my sister called, so we served them what was already prepared.  The only thing to make was something for tea.

Lunch Box #3 - Spaghetti and Meatballs

Star Q


No tuna sandwiches for me to take to work today.  Not because I have gotten tired of them but because I have some tomato sauce (not ketchup!) in the fridge and some chicken meatballs which I had previously made, stashed away in the freezer.
