Leeks in tomato soup

Trying out leeks, the vegetable. So far, I like them in soup based dish like this instant noodle in tomato soup. Had googled and most recipes came up white and creamy, so I had them in my carbonara sauce. The Chinese promoter at the supermarket likes them in scrambled egg. Maybe I 'll try cooking them llike that one day

Dare to be different

I was putting on these apples for sale display when I came across  this one apple with small leaf attached..it's a rare sight here..

Apple Jazz from New Zealand.

Sardine sushi sandwich

Excited to do this that I didn't notice that my wholemeal bread left only the top and bottom crusts and 1 single piece of the in-between..Because of the limited supply, I decided not to remove the crust.
Do it again next time...

Dinner kebab

Trying out shawarma chicken recipe without the cinnamon (and allspice powder). Put coriander powder instead. And also I just used chilli sauce instead of the original sauce (maybe I should use Thousand Island dressing..mayo+ chilli sauce) ☺

I used this Roti Sehat aka Lebanese bread. The filling is too much that I couldn't properly rolled it in.

Ubi kayu (tapioca)

How long ago since you had tapioca? They are a little bit brown because I cooked them in my little rice cooker which doesn't have a keep-warm function. Instead they were cooked since I was busy practising for my Jazzercise class. :-)

Lunch on the go

In an hour break for lunch and solat, it's just easier to bring something from home no matter how simple the cooking is. And I finally have reason to use this thermal lunch container. Not that good when it comes to keeping the food warm. Maybe I should make a thermal bag/carrier for it...

Would love to own a Zojirushi Mr Bento or Classic Bento...


A favorite meal for lunch

Nasi pulut (glutinous rice) with grated coconut seasoned with salt and sugar, cabbage kimchi and fried salted terubuk with squeeze of lemon. A balance of tastes....

The Usana bottle is where I put in my pm supplements.

Peach domuts

Aren't these cute? The peaches are exactly like the name..donuts.  Instead of round, these are flatter.


Cream cheese dip with fresh dill

Ever since I work in the supermarket, I found myself wanting to try out recipes. Not just any recipes but those that includes herbs or veggies that I have never eat before.

This recipe I got from a friend. Dill is a herb I have never known before but somehow the taste is so familiar. It taste great with this cream cheese dip. Just mix in cream cheese, garlic powder and chopped fresh dill.
I love it with Lay's Salt and Vinegar. The extreme 3 tastes combined so well together. I would put a bit of sugar and some lemon for other chips.
The leftover makes a great spread for bread too.

Personalised embroidered towels

Some embroidered towels that I made. To order, please check my shop tab.

Baby shower gift basket

This is how I came up with the gift basket for the baby shower. Well, I should called it baby bowl since a basket is more expensive to buy. There is a cute bicycle basket included so the mommy can put little things inside. Pictures shown from the initial arrangement to how it was finally done.
All decorations consist of baby wear, wash clothes, mittens and booties. The final picture shown with embroidered towels which I will post later separately.

Snap it out!

Out of sight, so out of mind. When you haven't work with snap buttons for a while, you will forget which part goes with which tools. Many pairs of snap buttons wasted before I finally got it right. So this is just for me to refer to..

Baby blanket with minky fabric

Made this minky baby blanket for a friend's baby shower. How glad I am that this minky (or minkee) fabric is now available to purchase in Malaysia. Minky is perfect for babies. It is supersoft and smooth.

With the extra fabric, I also made up this little blanket with ribbon tags. Perfect as a play or security blanket. Babies would love to play with those tags.

Check out my shop page for ready made minky blankets available for sale soon.

Mail art: recycled plastic bottle

My friend ordered a bottle of argan oil from me. I googled on how to mail the glass bottle safely and found out a link how some unusual mails had been put into the mailbox (in the US). Among them is a mail made out of plastic bottle. This would be perfect to house a small glass bottle inside. With some padding or fillers, the plastic exterior will protect it.

On further Google-ing on how to make one, this is how it turned out. You make a window on the side and the cover it up with some decorations. It'll be fun for the recipient to guess on how to open up the packaging. Mine was just done with a sticker. 😆

Instax album cover

Elisha is 4yo now. Well, 4+ since this was made for last year's celebration. We took instant photos of the birthday girl and guests who were at the party. This album will hold in all those photos. Hope it will make beautiful memories for years to come.

Kimbap

Tried out this dish with my niece. Turned out good though something need to be done about the taste. A bit bland. But all were eaten; none left!

Kimchi

Got these chillies from Kelantan. Made chilli kimchi, 'solok lada' a chilli dish stuffed with grated coconut and boiled fish meat and pickled chillies.
