Hmm



Who can tell what are these? I made them out of boredom, and they are pretty colourful too. Which boils down to today's question: What are these?


Buah Melaka



Hello again. I am quite aware that my blog is turning into a food blog these days. I will not deny the possibility of me turning into a food blogger someday with my peaking interest in cooking. However, I am just a rookie in this field called cooking.


You will see.

Today I will present my version of a kuih called Buah Melaka. There's something odd about this kuih right? Can you tell what is it? Something somewhat off-colour about it. Makes it look like another type of kuih altogether, right?

Korean Seafood Stew


Good day dear readers. So I have been away for quite some time. Not literally away, just mentally away. You know? Alright, let us go straight to today's entry.

This semester, for those who do not know, is the last semester of my life as an undergraduate. Having been in UTP for almost five years is truly an amazing feat. Amazing in the sense that, a considerably large chunk of my life has been spent in Tronoh. Yea, I understand (I can see you shaking your head in disbelief. For someone who is 23 years old, 5 years is 21.74% of their entire lifespan up till now in case you don't have a calculator with you now).

Of course, we are inclined to add a little zest to our bland lives. And even more so, after living in the same house with a person who is fascinated with everything Korean. This stemmed our interest in Korean food. Hence our little experiment(s) (we cooked this approximately three times already). What you see on your left is a seafood stew. We looked up for the recipe from the internet, and so this dish was produced. I especially love the tofu left overnight. All the juices and flavours mysteriously seeped into the tofu after being left overnight, and what we get is delicious tofu.

There is only one drawback though. The three of us (my two housemates) can't really deal with spicy food. We finished everything nonetheless. With eyes watering while chugging down several glasses of water.
