A few weeks ago, we were invited to Frontera Sol de Mexico, a Tex-mex restaurant situated in Jaya One, Petaling Jaya. We’ve actually been to Frontera quite a few times, as I’ve previously performed there with my band. But this time, we had Mr Jesus Luz, a representative of Conservas La Costena in the Asia…

Linzer Torte with a Lovely Twist
It’s been a while since I participated in the Bake Along challenge, hosted by hosted by Joyce from Kitchen Flavours and Lena from Frozen wings and Zoe from Bake for Happy Kids. The theme this time is intriguing, at least to me. I’ve never heard of Linzer Tart before, and when I consulted Dr Google, it gave me Linzer cookies! Turns…
Not Your Average Carrot Cake
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…
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…
Sarawak MFF: Stir-fried Manicai with Eggs
I’d like to thank Wendy from Table for 2 or more for organising the Malaysia Food Fest. It’s such a meaningful exercise for us to get to know the unique dishes from each state of our country. And best still, I get to share some of the dishes I’ve grown up eating. Which is why…
Make and Eat Tau Huay Day
Many food bloggers in Singapore have been rather upset over the Dîner en Blanc fiasco (the dust has since settled following an apology from the organiser). Do read here, here and here for the background. Even though I don’t live in Singapore, I thought I’d join in to make my very own Tau Huay (Tau Fu Fa)….
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…
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…
