Chinese New Year is a time for giving; whether in the form of the popular red packets filled with money or in the form of material goods. We know Chinese New Year is fast approaching when we start to see endless hampers lining up the front section of shops. This fortune cat is simply adorable as it was waving its arm inside the hamper These ready-packed hampers are good for those who need to purchase […]

If you’ve been following my blog you’ll know that I love gardening. I used to love planting flowers to beautify our home but these days, it is all about sustainable garden. I don’t have a land for my gardening hence I depend fully on pots to feed us.  It is our (Ayden and I) routine every evening to care for my plants. We’ll work on making compost soil, feeding the plants with coffee egg tea […]

This year with big brother Ethan in the school’s morning session, I started to cook dinner daily as we will have dinner and go to bed earlier compared to when he was in the evening session. The fact that lil Ayden is turning 3 and is able to help in the kitchen is also a contributing factor to me cooking more often.   I do my marketing once a week and try to make sure […]

I have successfully grown spinach in milk cartons. It is highly successful that I have continuous supply of spinach since 2015 till today. I love it that I can just pluck them at any time and have fresh spinach for dinner hence I decided to try growing other types of leafy vegetables.  I bought this Pak Choy seeds. The seeds look like those we used for cooking. I wonder if those biji sawi we used for […]

Growing spring onion is relatively easy. You don’t need rocket science to do it.  Chances are some of the onions in your kitchen would have sprouted anyway so all you need to do is place them on the soil to grow further.  As usual, I used milk cartons to grow my greens. This two big onions represents Mummy and Daddy (according to the cheeky Ayden). The boys planted little onions for their own collection.  We placed the […]

Okay, so you have seen my homegrown organic okras and grape cherry tomatoes. Today, it’s time for me to introduce my garden of spinach. They are all grown in pots as I’ve mentioned in my previous post, I do not have any land for gardening. Again, I did not purchase any seeds to start my spinach garden. What happened was I bought a bundle of spinach from my favourite grocer shop. Those spinach comes attached with […]

I started a new hobby closer to the third trimester of my pregnancy with Ayden – growing my own vegetables. As we had tiled up the entire car porch before moving into this house, I no longer have land to plant anything and had to resort to planting in pots. When I first got started with my potted vegetable garden, I grew spinach, tomatoes, lime and okras and they strive very well especially the limes. I […]

How many of you here are vegetarian? Raise your hands. Well, I am not a vegetarian but I do believe in organic food and eating healthy whenever possible. That is why I am now growing my own greens in whatever little space I have at home. Last Sunday, a vegetarian friend invited our family to dine at Be LOHAS Healthy Vegetarian Cuisine in Sunway Mentari. Be LOHAS healthy vegetarian cuisine, Mentari Plaza. Ayden and Ethan […]
