My previous visit in Penang is purely for visa processing. This time it includes tasty exploration! The moment we arrived in Penang, we frantically searched for restaurant to satisfy our famished tummy. We find Micke’s Place. It is just around the corner of Love Lane, a few minutes walk from Red Inn Heritage Guesthouse (where…

Another bad news and I swear I am just going to have to say goodbye to those early evening news. I just cannot stand all the negativity. They are too much for me to take in 30 minutes or so, really! The newscast is peppered with crimes, tragedies and accidents, just way too many to…

For a mom who’s been working all week-long, weekends are most precious time to bond with the family and do something that everyone will enjoy, a picnic in the park sounds like a great idea! I can ask the kids to help me prepare our food for the picnic, sandwiches, pasta, salad or fresh fruits…
I grew up being familiar with the advice to drink eight glasses of water a day. But right this moment, I read from yahoo news that more recent research has suggested that there is actually no scientific evidence supporting this recommendation and that drinking excessive amounts of water can actually be dangerous by lowering the…
I’m on my way of losing weight. Lessening my rice intake and being rice-less on supper help a lot in reducing my weight. I can’t wait to finally achieve my goal of having flatter tummy and leaner arm muscle. I will continue my zumba exercise and incorporate with it resistance band exercise. Resistance band exercises…
I have so many dreams to achieve in life. Aside from the desire to buy gold at Golden Eagle, I dream to receive formal culinary training so that I could prepare those mouth-watering recipes I find in my cookbook. As eating holds a guaranteed spot in everybody’s daily schedule, so do those who prepare it….
Most working moms are busy as can be. Their time and effort are divided for their career, family, household chores and a little time for them to take a break. About 10-12 hours a week were spent on grocery shopping and waiting in line, menu planning, budgeting, and preparing meals for the family (plus cleaning…
…I swear I won’t ever skip lunch again while at work and deprived myself of decent supper because I want to lose weight for less than a week! It really gave me a bad night- can’t sleep because I’m sooo famished and my migraine is acting up again. In the middle of the night, I…
If budget permits, I’m the kind of person who loves to hire catering services- for birthday celebrations, wedding, anniversaries, and Christmas! Why? Because catering duties will help me source not only delicious food for the celebration but also suitable lighting, flowers, music and anything else to put the finishing touches in place. This leaves me…
My fave breakfast is light, delicious and healthy- steamed tofu! Tofu alone is bland but with this sweet and sour plus a bit spicy sauce with peanuts make the dish taste better. The fresh cucumber and kinchay or coriander leaves add value to this simple dish.
One of the things that inspires me to do efficiently in the kitchen is having one of those ProCook X50 Professional knife sets. It consists of sharp knives that are very essential to make cooking easier and safer. There is no greater hindrance to the person in the house who does the cooking than dull…
Last week is my co-teacher’s birthday and she’s throwing a pizza party for us! I can’t help disregarding pizza! I’ve been avoiding pizza for a year already but that time I had to forget about dieting and just enjoy pizza! Actually, I only ate 1 slice but I’m forced to eat another one insisting that…
