As of yesterday, I’ve turned 29. The very last year of my 20s *shudders*. Where’s that time machine when I need it? The only consolation is that my birthday celebrations seem to get better every year! True enough, I had a fabulous time with a bunch of crazy, fun loving people. Though I’ll say my…

Beef Moussaka
It’s looking to be a very busy weekend ahead again. I’ll be performing at Savory Bistro in Mont Kiara on Friday, and on Saturday attending the biggest Oktoberfest Party in KL at One Utama. In the process of planning my small birthday thingy too. At this rate, I’ll probably just have it at Sid’s. I’m…
Happy Birthday, Frank!
Before I talk about Frank’s birthday and what I cooked for him for dinner, here’s another reason this post is special: It’s the 100th post! *Raise a toast* I’m glad I came back to blogging, not only it motivates me to be cooking more, I also value the friendships that blossomed through food. To you…
Strawberry-Lemon Whoopie Pies
Well, what do you know…. the little hint of itchy throat (or sandy, as previously mentioned) has now turned into a full blown tonsilitis. Just grand. I might have to turn up for my rehearsal tomorrow wearing a mask, quite unlike the inconsiderate unknown person who’s passed his/her germs to me. mmm-hmmph. Not happy, Jan….
Ain’t no Hollaback girl, this sh*t is BANANAS!
I realised that the title has made my post not so family-friendly but who are we kidding really? You’d need to censor the whole internet for the kids to not learn any colourful language. The song is all I can think of while I was trying to type this post up. I might have been…
Warm Apple-Cornmeal Upside-down Cake
I kept my promise and managed to join in the Bake Along #30, hosted by Joyce of Kitchen Flavours, Lena of Her Frozen Wings and Zoe of Bake for Happy Kids. This time it’s a specific recipe: Warm Apple-Cornmeal Upside-down Cake from Bon Appetit. You’ll be seeing all different renditions of this cake popping up around the blogs soon! Honestly…
Craft Bakers
Craft Bakers is a little bakery/cafe situated in Solaris Dutamas (just next door to Urban e Fresco). It produces mainly English and European type bread and other baked goods. Opened its door to the masses in February 2011, it already has a sizeable following, and some customers even willing to travel across the town for…
Five Spice Braised Soy Sauce Chicken Mini Pies
If you were wondering how come there’s a sudden increase in Chicken Pies’ photos in your facebook stream, or instagram it’s because this week’s Bake Along‘s theme is Chicken Pie. This is my first time participating in the challenge and I hope I will be diligent enough to continue. Most chicken pies have all-too-common leek, mushrooms…
Breakfast is so much better with homemade bread
It’s yet another Saturday! There are so many events on today in the Klang Valley. MTV World Stage (not going because I’m not a fan of Justin Bieber, enough said), Bon Odori, Clinique Beach Party and TEDxKL. Yet I’m staying at home with a mild food poisoning from unknown source. I suspect it’s from the…
Got a hangover? Try the Baked Eggs
Whoa! Last night’s Heineken New Bottle Launch party was one hell of a night. Personally I’m more of a wine addict drinker (lower calories, better taste) but I got carried away with the beer. A new bottle kept being handed to me before I finish the one before. And to think I’m supposed to be on…
