When I tried a recipe, completely changed it, and somehow it worked. But yeah, I won’t call it a wild success because it worked for me. Not sure about others, though.

I just realized Indonesia and Malaysia don’t have seasonal dishes due to fairly constant weather and temperature (either “hot”, “excruciatingly hot”, or “WTH is this rain”)

At this point, it might be known that I really really like pumpkin. We had rice for dinner yesterday, and the day before, and I got so tired after a Zoom hangout with my colleagues (today is a full-meetings day.) I tried to come up with some quick and easy recipe, and as tempting as […]

I suddenly remembered one of my colleagues once asked this question: “Do you have any tips on how to combat post-lunch sleepiness?” This is one of the tips. Recently, I’ve been taking a liking to pumpkin and sweet potatoes. My favorite is steamed sweet pumpkin with soy sauce and a bit of white pepper. Just […]

This is one of my favorite dishes in an Italian restaurant we frequently visit. It’s an oxtail with thick tomato, carrot, and celery stew, served with a dash of cream. You can ask for either saffron rice or mashed potato as the side. I always want to make this, but not sure if the kids […]

Just now, I looked into my fridge to find something for lunch. I’m not fasting as I’m having my period (in Islam, you can be exempted from doing Ramadan fasting under several special conditions — and period/menstruation is one of them (alongside pregnancy, breastfeeding, and old age.)) Here’s the thing about Ramadan; you got used […]

We have been following a food blogger/vlogger from Malaysia, Ceddy, and he’s recommending the char kuey teow on this place. Bonus: The food is muslim-friendly. A bit of note, Penang folks are not joking when they said their food is delicious 😋 There is this… joke/anecdote about food peddler. The more unfriendly the seller is, […]

It’s your usual midnight blog post; when you got yourself stay awake in the middle of the night and social media is too weird (and too angry) for you to check. I suddenly remember the times when I went to Florida, USA, for Automattic’s Grand Meetup back in 2019. Specifically: Strawberries. For me personally, it […]

For the past several weeks, I have been feeling unmotivated. For most of the part, this is due to the prolonged lockdown here in Malaysia — specifically, Klang Valley area (Selangor and Kuala Lumpur are the two long-time runners of the highest cases on daily basis 🥲) However, things are picking up. The vaccination rate […]

Hey! I skipped blog for the past 2-3 weeks as my sinus infection blaring up. Unfortunately, it happened on the kids too. We actually suspect the current renovation works on our apartment building caused the sinusitis/allergy as it can be pretty dusty at times. Luckily, no fever. Recently, I’ve been listening to this. I heard […]
