After Cameron

Just got home from Cameron and scored some extremely fresh and lovely veggies. We've had some (pricey!) food in Cameron Highlands and we were craving for some comfort home cooked food! 

Since the baby boy was happily playing with his Grandparents, I had some extra time to spare to whip some Reese's Cookie Dough Dunkers up too! 



These are called dunkers because its the perfect size for dunking into a cold (or warm!) glass of milk. I switched chocolate chips with Reese's Buttercup chips and it was equally sensational. Because it spreads and my oven was small, I baked it in 2 batches. 
Recipe from Cookies & Cups. 
TIP: You can actually buy 2 bags, 1 chocolate chips and another bag of Reese's so, you can have 2 flavours and more cookies!


I've always known the basics of cooking salted egg but i didn't have the confidence of actually cooking it. Since, my family loves anything salted egg (who doesn't?!) and I saw my trusty cooking companion site teaching it, I decided to give it a try! It was as easy as I expected it to be!
Recipe from Cooking Club Co. 


After baking and cooking, I got a little tired because I actually planned on making a Pavlova from all the strawberries we had at home, so, I took a shortcut and used a prepacked Lee Kum Kee sauce for this dish! Made this in 3 easy steps!

Food For The Depressed Soul


I've been depressed (I did not self diagnosed but I've been feeling extreme bouts of sadness to the point I kept crying and feeling suicidal) Well, 4 years plus of absorbing student's negative emotions and with no release valve, is really able to affect one's feelings. 

I realised that I haven't been baking for 2 years plus and I've always LOVED baking. In fact, I'm more of a baker than a cook. Then, in my state of hunger and I haven't eaten in a week or so, I suddenly started craving Rendang! 

And you know how difficult it is to get rendang when it's not Hari raya? After a quick Google, rendang is surprisingly easy to make! I'm a noob cook and if I can make delicious rendang, so, can you! I got all my bahan2 at the SS2 market. 

AYAM RENDANG


I used this recipe from Cooking Club Co. and its super easy, peasy and mind blowingly yummy! (I still kept the rendang to make pasta! IT IS THAT GOOD!) Do check their page out for the video

 ABC SOUP


I'm not a huge fan of soups but since #johnellejr LOVES soups (easpecially carrots!) I normally cook my ABC soup for him and wtch him gobble his food up! I put 1 potato cause he doesn't really like potatoes and 3 carrots cause he loves it! and I boiled it with 5 tomatoes, 2 yellow onions, 1 chicken carcass and 300grams of roasted pork bones. The soup was so sweet and I don't even have to put any salt! 

 Mixed Berries Sheet Cake

I got this recipe from Martha Stewart and it's really yummy! The fruits were tangy, sweet and sour, the cake just balances everything off! Do give it a try!
