Lucky Me

I feel blessed. Actually blessed is arguable. But I shall not argue with the fact that I'm lucky. Here's counting my lucky stars:
  • I am married. Something I thought was just a dream cos of the lack of potential guys I'd meet in my industry. Who would've thought I'd be married to the most wonderful husband in the world, who loves me much more than I love myself. I have truly struck gold to have his heart ;)
  • We own our little flat for over a year now :) We're lucky to get it at a time where prices were just about to rise, so our housing loan is kinda low unlike prices now. I can even afford not to work! Haha!
  • I LOVE my parents. The most understanding, frank, and practical parents. There's nothing more I could ask from them.
  • I have a stable job. With bosses that care. Can't thank them enough for offering me the telecommuting arrangement!
  • I've never been really that stressed about school. Work, maybe. Generally I lead a stress-free life. Hence the excessive snacking. Haha!
  • Friends :) Very thankful for them. Friends For Life, YinCarFangMatt, the adhoc. Friends I can rely on, friendships I hope will last our lifetime.
  • We're not rich, but we're okay :) Sometimes riches aren't what we need.
  • I've managed to travel quite a bit. I'm the only one in the family who got the chance (chances, actually) to venture the world (Malaysia not counted).
  • Happiness. Love. To know what bliss is.
I always wonder what did I do to deserve these. Not that I'm not thankful! Whatever it is, I'm happy and thankful to be where and who I am now.

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho

Apam Balik

I love apam balik. The soft one, with lots of corn. So when @khairulaming posted this on his instagram, I bookmarked it. The recipe is not too much until you get sick of eating apam balik, but I do feel it needs some tweaks to get the pancake king version. But not bad for a first try. 2 cups flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 tbsp melted butter 1 1/4 cups water 1 egg Additional butter for the pan I do feel it needs some salt, more sugar and I shouldn't have liberally made it so thick HAHA. The pan is important too, I kinda burnt some parts of the pancake. Got them bubbles!! This recipe made 2 large pancakes. Also, the filling needs to be sprinkled with sugar liberally (read: 3 tbsp or so), my first try wasn't enough. Pancake was soft even for the next few days after that (kept in the fridge then reheated in the microwave). Husband found it to be acceptable, but I was kinda not okay with it but ohwells. I can tweak it

Rice Cooker Chicken Mushroom Claypot

All in one pot cooking, what's not to love!  Got this off tiktok, but I figured the chicken and mushroom in the recipe isn't enough. Wasn't really one pot cooking cos I cooked half of the chicken on a pan then added it later after the rice cooker was done. Rice Cooker Claypot Chicken marinade: 600g boneless thigh, cut into cubes 6 garlic, pound 2 inch ginger, pound 6 tbsp soy sauce 2 tbsp oyster sauce 4 tbsp sweet soy sauce Rice: Half of the chicken marinade above 2 1/2 cups rice 2 1/2 cups water 3 tbsp sesame oil 2 tbsp soy sauce 1 1/2 chicken cube (maybe 2 also can) 300g shitake mushrooms Coriander leaves, cut Spring onions, cut Marinate the chicken and leave it for about 30 min. Wash the rice. Add half the chicken marinade and all other ingredients into the rice cooker and mix well Cook using rice cooker. I cooked the remaining chicken over the stove and added the chicken, juices and all, into the rice cooker when it was just about done and needed a few minutes to set. M
