Ke Ren Lai Restaurant | Gurney, Penang
After 3 years, I am now back to Japan again. This time will stay here for only 3 weeks, it is good for me to enjoy the food here. I miss the food in Japan, from sandwich to bread to cake to dessert to ramen to bento to coffee to izakaya food to sashimi to ... many more. Opsss...this post is not about Japanese food yet. Let's back to my last dinner before I came to Japan.
Sardine Puff
I am going to share a very simple and delicious sardine puff recipe. I will list down what you need in making the sardine puff. Ingredients needed: 1. A can of sardine 2. Onion (optional) 3. A pack of puff pastry (I bought "Kawan" brand ready made puff pastry from Tesco)
Gathers Cafe | Raja Uda, Butterworth, Penang
Coffee, has taken away my heart. Sometime it make me happy, sometime it make me high, but sometime it make my heart pumping at wrong frequency. I wish I can drink it everyday, with a set of toast spread with kaya, together with 2 half boil eggs without pepper and soy sauce, so I can have the pure egg taste, to welcome my day!
Life Organic Shop Hakka Lei Cha 客家擂茶 | Sungai Ara, Bayan Lepas, Penang
I had too much meat recently. Yes, I mean not only my food consumption, but also my body. My body fat is hard to reduce, everyday sitting in office after heavy lunch gained me a lot of weight. Recently, we went for vegetarian meals for lunch to reduce my guilty after consumed so much meat and oily foods. My colleague recommended this organic restaurant that serve vegetarian in Sg Ara, Life Organic. The aunty who served us said the shop is already opened for more than two years, but I did not realise it until my colleague brought us there.Hawker food is the everyday heartbeat of many communities, where steam rises from woks and conversations spill across shared tables. These open-air stalls and coffee shops carry recipes passed between generations, turning simple ingredients into memorable plates. Diners return not only for familiar flavors but also for the easy rhythm of casual service and approachable prices, making hawker centers a living archive of regional taste and social life.
Restaurants, whether family-run kitchens or modern dining rooms, extend the conversation around food beyond the hawker setting. Menus become a reflection of a chef's point of view, balancing tradition with seasonal produce and personal creativity. Choosing where to dine often means weighing atmosphere, hospitality, and the promise of a dish that lingers in memory long after the meal has ended.
Recipes shared at home bring a different kind of satisfaction, inviting cooks to slow down and trust their hands. Baking a chiffon cake, folding a custard, or simmering a broth becomes a quiet ritual of measurement and patience. Each attempt, whether triumphant or imperfect, deepens understanding of technique and encourages home cooks to refine their palate through repetition and curiosity.
Pump and breast milk topics often surface in family conversations, especially during the early months of raising a baby. Parents compare manual and electric pumps, weigh the convenience of hands-free designs, and discuss storage bottles and feeding routines. Such exchanges reflect how practical tools and shared experiences shape the everyday rhythm of infant care at home and beyond.
Seasonal fruits like durian and apple inspire their own seasonal rituals, from market visits to family gatherings. Their aromas and textures invite commentary, debate, and even playful exaggeration among enthusiasts. Documenting these moments through writing helps preserve the cultural weight of beloved ingredients and the stories that accompany each harvest and table.
Holiday tables often feature familiar favorites such as stuffed lamb, butter-rich bread, and carefully assembled buffets that invite lingering conversation. Christmas spreads, in particular, encourage hosts to balance traditional dishes with personal touches, creating a setting where abundance and warmth set the tone for the gathering and the memories made around it.
Travel broadens any food lover's vocabulary, whether wandering through the night markets of Hong Kong, the quiet teahouses of Japan, or the bustling lanes of Chiang Mai. Each destination introduces new ingredients, cooking methods, and dining etiquette. Returning home, travelers carry these impressions back into their kitchens, enriching everyday meals with stories gathered along the way.
Kitchen tools quietly shape the experience of cooking, from a reliable bread maker to a sturdy electric kettle and a well-organized supply of bakeware. Learning the strengths of each piece turns preparation into a smoother, more enjoyable routine. Even small upgrades, like a better whisk or a dependable oven, can inspire more ambitious home cooking and baking projects.
Writing about food remains a generous act of sharing, whether documenting a humble hawker meal, a thoughtful restaurant visit, or a heartfelt family recipe. Articles that capture honest impressions invite readers to join the conversation, offering comments, suggestions, and their own cherished memories. In this way, a food blog becomes a collective table where every voice adds something meaningful.

I bought this manual breast pump when baby was 15 months old, with the intention of boost up milk supply, also can pump during weekend at anywhere and easier to wash as contains lesser parts. It costs RM199, and I bought it online with free shipping.
I wish to share something about my electric breast pump that has been used for almost a year. I bought this breast pump when my baby was about 4 months old, after used Medela Swing for about 2-3 months. Medela Swing is single pump, which took me about 1 hour to clear both sides, Imagine if you need 2 to 3 sessions per day during working hour, how much time you left to do your work? And it was second hand pump get from my sis in law, I am not sure it was due to old pump or what, the Medela Swing can't really empty my breast. Till one day when I was frustrated, I decided to invest on new pump. With some survey, I decided to get in this Lacte Duet Double Electric Breast Pump. It was RM399 the time I bought, I told myself if I able to feed baby with my breast milk until she is one year old, I will only need around RM50 per month (start count from 5 months old), and all of us knew breast milk is much safer and healthier compare to formula.
When baby more than 6 months, I started to think what to serve her besides breast milk. The first thing I make for her is steam apple with breast milk.
