My parents-in-law runs a sundry shop hence they don’t go out much. Once a year, during Chinese New Year we will try to bring them up to KL for sight-seeing.

With just a blink of an eye we are now in 2017. It is time to start getting the children (and us parents) ready for school again. That means waking up early preparing Ethan’s bento box to ensure he stays energized throughout the day. I got lazy midway last year as I found it complicated and tedious to pack his bento box and resorted to letting him buy food from the canteen. I lost the […]

Malaysians in general love food. We love anything food. There must be food in everything we do, be it a quick meet up over tea or a long catch up over dinner, food always takes the centre stage. But as much as we love food, not many of us are equipped with the life-saving skill of cooking. Urban folks especially are always in a hurry that we rarely get to spend time in the kitchen.  With […]

Chicken Floss Roll is one of the more popular Chinese New Year snack around. It is extremely addictive that once you start, you’ll find it difficult to stop eating them. It is also expensive to buy them so I decided to resume making them this year. I used to make this every year before I have kids. The boys are pretty okay on their own these days so I can sneak some time making one […]

This is my first and may be the only Chinese New Year decorations at the mall posting this year. I am surprised that of all malls, I am posting on the CNY decor at Sunway Pyramid instead of my usual hangout at 1U or The Curve.  The reason being is because I have been a bit busy and have not been frequenting many malls this month BUT ended up at Sunway Pyramid twice due to […]

Before Christmas last December, I helped Darling call several Chinese restaurants in town to treat his business associates this coming Chinese New Year before we head home to our hometown to celebrate this joyous occasion. Some of these restaurants are already running high and almost fully booked as more and more city folks prefer to stay put in the Klang Valley during festive seasons. I called several restaurants under The Oriental Group of Restaurants as they have […]
