The best memories– that make me go wordless
My favourite place on Earth Can you guess where this is?
Easy Tom Yum Porridge= a bowl of love
At age 8, I stared down at the table while my best friend showered me with eraser dust. 5 minutes later, I was standing in front of the mirror in the toilet weeping, staring at my tear-stained face, trying to get the eraser dust out of my hair. Later I locked myself in a cubicleContinue reading “Easy Tom Yum Porridge= a bowl of love”

This unfortunately also means thatContinue reading “Low`Fat Pineapple Tarts (not fat-free)”
Banana Bonanza– Banana Sponge Cake
I’ve always enjoyed eating banana cakes, especially the ones available from Malaysia. But preservatives and the GIANT amount of oil (more oil than actual bananas) made my mum refuse to buy them for me anymore. I used to be able to eat one loaf of that cake between breakfast and lunch! And never did IContinue reading “Banana Bonanza– Banana Sponge Cake”
Banana Bonzanza– Only Oatmeal Oatmuffins
Bread is a perfect breakfast good. But ‘perfect’ is not enough. What matters is ‘perfecting perfection’– quoting a wonderful Mr **** in my school. Perfecting perfection… with an amalgamation of oatmeal and muffins. Nutrition, health, low GI, low fat, fruity… I WANT MY BREAKFAST FOR DINNER. Give me 45 minutes, inclusive of baking time, and thereContinue reading “Banana Bonzanza– Only Oatmeal Oatmuffins”
