Carrot cake with creme cheese topping


Chicken Chop

Dah teringin nak makan chicken chop….so I asked hubby to cook chicken chop for us…
We had to choose the best part of the chicken for this meal…I dont actually know how hubby does it…but he used breadcrumbs, eggs, spices, for the coating of the chicken…

Apple Puffs

Great picture of apple puffs, huh?? Well, this is my tipu2 recipe…it’s just so easy. You can always buy the pastry puff sold at the supermarkets. But do be careful. Edmonds’ pastry puff may contain 471, which could be a source of animal fat and non-halal. So, I normally buy the Vegetarian Pastry Puff which makes baking easier.

For the filling, I blend apples with brown sugar and add a dash of cinnamon powder and some lemon zest. Let it cool before you start filling the puffs.

Beef Black pepper with capsicum

Apple Tarts

Asam Pedas Salmon


Asam Pedas is one of our favourite dishes. I decided to make salmon asam pedas which is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids & a great source of selenium as well!
While i am here, it feel that it’s best that i enjoy the rich sources of these rather than sonsuming capsules…

For my Asam Pedas recipe:
Onion
Garlic
Ginger
Tumeric
Belacan (Prawn paste)
Chili powder (Just too lazy to use Dried chillies)
Galanga
Tamarind Juice
Water, Sugar, Salt

Nazura’s room

19A Brocas



This is our rented home in New Zealand. it’s our 2nd home after 22 Edinburgh Street. I came across this house when I was busy spending my saturday morning hunting for goods at the garage sale. The tenants who used to live here held a garage sale…and me being nosy asked the couple about the house. Richard gave me Joanne’s number. I immediately called her to seek information about the house.
NZ policy is that if you have 3 grown-up kids, you are not allowed to rent a 2 bedroom house. So this house is an answer to my house hunting call. It’s been 2 years now and we loved every minute having this house as our temporary home in New Zealand…

Of chillies…


It’s quite difficult finding chillies which are really spicy hot! Hubby planted the jalapeno pepper which we really love, capsicum which was quite tasteless for my tastebuds, and the ‘cili padi’ which wasnt hot at all…Now,the cold season is back again, the chilli plants are dying….

Hubby’s Hundreds & Thousands


Hubby planted the mini tomatoes which tasted really good by itself. Every time I did the laundry, I would hang around the mini tomatoes and started enjoying them with a mouthful….

Hubby’s Courgette


Hubby enjoys gardening and I can say that he is really a green finger at it. Everything around the house flourish in his hands. During the 2010 summer, we invested in seeds and seedlings for our little backyard garden….
