You can find my recipe here:

I submitted this recipe ages ago. It can be grilled or baked and then broiled in the oven.

I baked the above in convection oven 350'F for 30 mins and then broiled it at 500'F for 5 mins.

To grill, grill in a very small flame until the skin turns ultra crispy, baste with some cooking oil while grilling.

Evy is going to have a ...

Little Mei Mei!!! Guess all of you guessed it wrong. Hehehe...


The three lines signified a girl.


Her cute little face! Can see her eye, nose, mouth and her hand with a little thumb.


Her little feet!

I was hoping for a boy and thought I would be greatly disappointed when I found out it will be a girl. Strangely though I didn't, guess deep down I was thinking girl since I have a few girl names that I really like but none of the boy name that caught my eyes.

She was so cute during the ultrasound. When the tech. trying to measure her head, she did a complete 180' (from facing up to facing down) and the tech. had to look at her spine instead. Everything looks great and she sures is an active one. I could even feel a few punches from her during the ultrasound.

Can't wait to see her sweet face again. Guess we will pay for a 3D ultrasound in 10 weeks so I can see her in my womb again. I can't believe how fast I fell in love with this baby already. :o) It's like love at first sight with this 2nd ultrasound. I didn't with Evy until she was one month old. Strange huh?

What is it going to be?

Huh.... you asked me?


Haha... you tell me!


Look at my funny expression!


See, I'm holding baby ultrasound picture!


Want to see clearer?


The baby is my little ... (stay tuned for result!) *mouth sealed for now*

Just Dinner

Stir-fried Brussel Sprouts in Garlic Sauce



Stir-fried Chicken with Fish Maw and Bamboo Fungus (hmm...can't really see the bamboo fungus in the picture)

I love brussel sprouts, but man this veggie can be so hard to clean. The inside always filled with little insects or it's eggs or soil. I always soak it with salt water first, to make sure all the insects are dead. Then I clean it one by one. Then I cut it into quarter and clean it piece by piece again. Lots of work just to eat this veggie huh?

This is how the bamboo fungus looks like. Please correct me if I have the name wrong. Also, is there any other way to cook this besides in soup and the one I did above?

Adabi Beef Rendang

I got a few packets of Adabi rendang paste while in Malaysia last year, however this was the first time I cooked it with beef. I cooked it with chicken other times. Can I say YUMMY! I love this rendang paste and will sure save my last packet for beef.


This is how the packet looks like. I got it at Giant supermarket in M'sia.



This is my finished product, soft tender beef with excellent gravy.

By the way, all the oil you see on top came from the coconut milk. I didn't add any oil to cook the rendang paste. The oil came up when the gravy thicken. Got to say can't eat this too often because I used the whole can of coconut cream!! Cream okay not milk!! *faint* But it was so delicious even my daughter loved it.

Last Minute Dinner

Why last minute dinner you asked? Because I had no plan to cook dinner at all, was planning to go out and eat. However, my hubby got other plan in mind. He was in the middle of his computer game and asked me to simply whip something out. *Darn!*

Thus, opened my refrigerator and took out what little ingredients I had and cooked this two dishes.

Spicy Thai Fried Rice ( I called this Thai fried rice because I used fish sauce and Thai shrimp paste)

Dressed up IndoMee (haha...this is for my daughter who couldn't take too spicy food)

All in all, a satisfied dinner! The Thai fried rice turned out very good, added red chilli padi to stir-fry and "walau eh", it turned out super spicy. The easy IndoMee also enough flavor, added some salt to it. My hubby cleaned both the plates. :)
