Premium Concentrated Imperial Bird’s Nest

I was gardening when I noticed a bird’s nest on my plant. Someone must have stragetically placed it there but let’s not focus on that  I love bird’s nest.

Bird’s nest is widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine as it is considered a superior health food in many ways. I heard that […]

The Story of My Fried Chicken

Let me tell you a little story. I usually cook chicken stew because it is one of the easiest meal to prepare. It also serves as a one pot dish as there are vegetables in it too. I have been alternating chicken stew and fried fish for the past months that the boys can tell today is chicken stew day and tomorrow they’ll know they will get fried fish.

Skippys Pizza – The real PORK pizza, pasta, burger and ribs

Think PORK pizzas and burgers and one of the first that comes to mind is definitely Skippys. I think it is safe to say most of us know of the first Skippys Pizza in Phileo Damansara 1 that originally started as a delivery and take-away store. That outlet in Phileo in due course accepts dine-in customers too and quickly became popular with the corporate lunch crowd in that area.

Nyonya Taste Cuisine, Kota Laksamana Melaka

Being a Peranakan, we don’t usually dine out at Peranakan restaurants. Nyonyas usually take pride of their own cooking and prefer to invite guests to their home for a meal. Majority of them are like that except for me as I am one of those rare Nyonyas who only knows how to eat but not cook. I attribute this to my mom who spoilt us constantly with her delicious home cooked food that I never find the […]
