With my thorough itinerary-planning, it was an amazing experience for them as this was the first time here. 2 weeks before their arrival, I have listed down all the activities to be done during their stay.

What a Tart!
A friend of mine gave birth to a baby girl recently. She called me a few days before her baby shower, saying: “Adam, what do you think I can serve for the guests? Please think of something not too troublesome (she is busy with the baby I guess) and I hope it is some sort [...]
A Corny Story
Remember in the previous week I have bought some corn from Cameron Highland, which I promised to share a recipe with you? In this post, I will show you how I transformed fresh corn on a cob from my fridge to become a fulfilling appetizer for the dining table. I hope the soup does not [...]
Question: Vegetarianism
Last week, I received a question from a reader from PJ, Daisy. The questions posted by her sounds like this:- Would really appreciate your thoughts about the potential of “Living / Raw” Food & “real” Vegan food in this part of the country.

Food in Phuket
As I stagger in exhaustion around Sinbi- Muay tai gym, my limbs feeling like jelly and my brain is screaming ‘FOOD…URGENTLY NEEDED!’ .

Pasta 1O1
When I was in 7th grade, I started helping my mother with simple chores in the kitchen. Despite being a full-time staff in a hospital and working in different shift, she always provided home cooked meals for us. One of the staples served on our dining table would definitely be pasta. I would watch in [...]
Going Bananas
Banana, a yellow tropical fruit that I think is a signature in Malaysians’ savoury and sweet. How inseparable banana is from the local’s food? Well, morning is nasi lemak wrapped in banana leaves, banana flowers can be seen on your lunch plate with pengat pisang in your desert bowl; high tea with pisang-goreng (or goreng-pisang?) [...]
