I throwback this celebration because it was such a memorable moment where all of us managed to get together as one big family. Very rare we had this opportunity when I am away, living abroad and my sisters and brother were busy with their life. Appreciate the moment that you have when you are surrounded by your parents and siblings that will never neglect to love you till the end of your life.

We hardly meet each other due to distance and daily routine activities. Over the lunch, we chatted and share stories about cravings, routine activities, etc. But one that had attracted much was about the Malaysian's craving about Malaysian food like nasi lemak, "karipap" and "onde-onde". Suddenly, Gloria popped up the idea for me to sell the "nasi lemak" and "karipap" followed by mouth marketing by Shinta. I ended up committed to selling nasi lemak and "karipap".

Have you ever tried or had this fried "sukun"or bread fruits?. I love the texture of "sukun" fruit as the flesh is soft and tender. It basically has nearly similar taste like cassava/ tapioca but lighter and softer. It can be fried or steam. For fried sukun normally people mixed it with salt and turmeric . But fried sukun my version, I normally will add some curry powder with it. For steam, normally people will steam it with sugar. It's nice to eat it during breakfast or tea. Sukun is from a group of moracea like jackfruit. Last time it was easy to have it as it was grown at my home town' house backyard. During its season we were enjoying varies recipe from this sukun fruit, like sukun fritters made from a very ripe sukun, sukun crackers, fried sukun and steam sukun. Here in Saigon, I can easily get from Ben Tanh market. 1 sukun / bread fruit 1 tea spoon tumeric power 1 tea spoon curry powder a pinch of salt slice the sukun and mix it with t...

I love my mom's palm sugar and pandan jelly. Since I missed so much of those two types of jelly, so I decided to made an attempt to try make it by myself.

Stir it until it boils and the mixture of egg and coconut milk started to separated from the water (when the bubbles came out), t...

Today I invited my best friends, Malaysians that I first met when I arrived in Saigon 4 years ago. We became close friend ever since we spent time shopping for wet groceries at Ben Tanh market. Actually, we are 4 of us but one of us have left to Jakarta for good. They love my cooking and I'm the one who used to host lunch for them since I'm the only Muslim and can reasonably cook Malay food that they missed so much. That's include nasi lemak...he ..he.. But for today one of them missed the lontong so much and requested me to cook lontong for her. Since I'm moving to a new apartment soon, so I decided  to cook lunch and bid farewell to my current place with them. They used to come to my current place for "makan-makan" , chit chatting and  playing badminton, so this would be their last lunch at my current place before I move to a new apartment just across the highway. My simple lontong 1. Nasi ketupat 2. Kuah Lodeh : 5 shallots 3 garlics 1 ...

Since I live in Saigon, I just started eating vegetarian since we don't have much choice of nice restaurant to fulfill out appetite. So there is one vegetarian restaurant that originally serve vegetarian food without imitating the taste of meat. They serve purely vegetarian food that cooked well and nicely with a very tasty flavour. Once you in Saigon, you should try their menu. It may be a little bit pricy but worth to pay for the nice taste , nice  and clean ambiance  and good service.
