During my recent Penang vacation, I attended my first invited food review at Ko-Fu-Loft (口福楼), Gurney Plaza. I was very delighted to be included in what is by far the largest gathering of Penang food bloggers attending a food review. I find the occasion an enjoyable one. We had a great time sharing our personal opinion on food, blogging experiences and photography tips. I would like to thank...

A very warm welcome to everyone! Finally my “new home” is ready! I must say that there are still areas that require fine-tuning and improvement. But it may take quite a while before I can get the “ideal” layout. Right now, I just want to continue blogging so that I won’t keep everyone waiting for too long.

Hi Everyone! I am back after a long holiday break. It was a very enjoyable and relaxing holiday for both my son and myself. I didn’t cook at all during this period. I am so glad that my son loves all my mum’s cooking especially her “char siew” (barbeque) chicken.
My hubby joined us towards end of December. He had not been to Penang for 2 years. Therefore, both of us launched...

HURRAY! My holiday has finally arrived! We are going to Kuala Lumpur (my hubby’s hometown) for a few days, and then moving north to Penang (my hometown). It is really a long break for me. I will be back to Singapore on 1 Jan 2009. Eat and sleep, sleep and eat….What kind of holiday can be better than this? Hahaha! I will disappear from this blog for a couple of days. Thank you so much for...
