Kindness In A Pot

Posted on March 27, 2023 by Admin

One of my colleagues love to bring food to the office for everyone. Whenever his wife buys a new household appliance, they will try cooking, steaming or boiling all kinds of recipes and he will bring them to the office for us. He had brought homemade mooncakes, jellies, steam onion, date juice and more.

Lately he is into sweet desserts and because I don’t take sugar, his wife would pour a portion into the container first before adding sugar to the rest of the pot. The un-sweetened portion is mine.

He brings little containers like this for everyone in the office. Isn’t he sweet?

My pot of sweet pear with goji berries to soothe my soul.

Instant Pork Leg Vinegar

Posted on March 25, 2023 by Admin

I love eating pork leg vinegar but I don’t know how to cook this dish. Whenever I see them at the restaurants or coffeeshops, I would order this. The taste is different from stall to stall. Some are too sweet, some too sourish and some are just bland.

When I saw this instant pork leg vinegar from Long Farm, I decided to get a pack to try. It is very easy to prepare. Just thaw and stew the pork leg vinegar for 20 minutes. It tasted pretty good with the right balance of sweet and sour.

This packet comes with several big pieces of pork trotters and ginger. This dish is good for 2 to 3 people. It does not have any eggs in it so you can add some if you like. A pack of vinegar pork trotters was selling for around RM26 when I first bought it, if I am not mistaken but now it has increased to RM30. If you are like me who doesn’t know how to cook this dish, perhaps you want to get yourself a packet to try when the cravings hit.

The New MRT Putrajaya Line Has Begun Operation

Posted on March 22, 2023 by Admin

The new MRT Line that goes from Kwasa Damansara to Putrajaya has opened and as announced by the PM, the ride is free until end of March. My friend, Elaine and I decided to bring our girls to experience the train ride to Putrajaya. Missy and I started our journey from the Awan Besar (Sri Petaling line) and we got off at Sg. Besi station. It connects to the Sg. Besi MRT line and we waited for Elaine and Amber there. I am quite impressed with the MRT stations as they have protective doors that only open when the train arrives. I haven’t seen these on the Sri Petaling line before and we can always jump down to the train tracks (not that we want to do that).

There were some cute and bright seats for commuters to rest while waiting for the train at the MRT station. Once we have reached Putrajaya Sentral which was the last stop, we hopped down for some coffee and donuts. Elaine wanted to check out how it goes to the KLIA airport from there. We can take the train at the next platform to KLIA and the ride is about 15 minutes from Putrajaya Sentral to the KLIA and the fare is RM11 per head. Maybe it’s better to take the train to the airport from KL Sentral as it goes direct.

After we have reached the Putrajaya Sentral (last stop), we took the train back to TRX (Tun Razak Exchange) and then changed to Kajang line to Cochrane station which is connnected to Mytown shopping mall. We had lunch at Ikea and went shopping. It was a fun outing for all of us. We were also surprised that the rides on the other lines like Sri Petaling and Kajang are all free as well.

Delicious Keto Low Carb Bread You Can Buy In KL

Posted on March 17, 2023 by Admin

If you have been following my blog, you would know that I love bread and anything carbo. Since I am following the low carb way of eating for years, I have stopped eating carbs. I have tried baking my own bread whenever I crave for them but the texture is not like the usual bread. Over the years, I have been buying keto bread from online sellers. Recently I discovered Emi’s Cloud, a homegrown bakery that specializes in a range of delicious keto or low carb yeast bread loaves.

I ordered the Original and Cranberry Walnut loaves a few days ago and when they arrived, I was surprised to see how big the loaves are. Best of all, the bread tastes like regular ones. Below is a list of low carb yeast bread that Emily is baking.

My original and cranberry walnut loaves.

I took out a slice each and spread them with butter. I love the texture of the bread and they have a tinge of saltiness in them.

I still have a few pieces of keto bread that I bought from another online seller and took it out for comparison. Can you see how big Emi’s Cloud bread is compared to the other piece?

Value for money right? So if you are wondering where to buy keto bread in kl, do visit Emi’s Cloud Facebook page here – https://www.facebook.com/emiscloud and place your order.

A Sweet Surprise

Posted on March 8, 2023 by Admin

Work has been stressful these past couple of days and this morning while going to the office, I felt like having a cup of strong coffee. There is nothing like a hot cup of joe that touches the soul. However, I was too lazy to order one (and there was no free delivery) so I just chucked the idea away and just made myself a regular cup of 2-in-1.

At around lunch time, I heard someone pressing the doorbell and at the same time, I received a text message from my friend, asking me to go to the front door. She just said go and get your coffee! I was like, oh my gawd! How did she know that I was craving for a big cup of cappuccino today? I am so blessed to have friends like her who always surprise me and lift me up when I am down.

A sweet ending to a day where we celebrate sisterhood ❤️ 8th March! Happy International Women’s Day to all amazing women out there.

The Only Vitamin C I Am Taking

Posted on March 7, 2023 by Admin

Vitamin C is one of the best known nutrients with many health benefits. It can body’s immune system to function normally and contributes to protecting our cells. I can be kinda slack when it comes to taking supplements and right now, the only vitamin that I am taking is Redoxon effervescent. This water-soluble dietary supplement is easy to take as I just put in a tablet into my water tumbler and drink from there. It tastes like real orange juice and very refreshing.

Besides boosting immune system, it helps to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and hypertension, since it helps reduce oxidative stress. A Redoxon tablet consists of 1000mg of Vit C, 400IU of Vit D and 10mg of Zinc.

Simple Life Pleasures

Posted on February 27, 2023 by Admin

Last Saturday while heading out for dinner nearby, we passed by a Pasar Malam (night market) in the next neighbourhood. As we haven’t been here for several years, we decided to visit it and buy our dinner there.

This pasar malam is just next to a playground and as the sky was still bright, we decided to buy some food and ate them at the playground.

Some of the food which consisted of a packet of smelly tofu.

Missy eating her waffles.

It was a nice to be there and it’s like a quick picnic on the bench. We wanted to stay longer but was worried about the mozzies. It would be nice if we stay near a playground so that we can just walk over and spend some time there. I really miss going to a playground.
