One of my favourite British snacks, besides pork scratchings, is jaffa cake. The half biscuit half cake chocolatey orangey combo is addictive, perfect with a milky mug of hot tea. If you’re the sort of person that likes chocolate and orange together, you’d LOVE jaffa cakes.
I believe I’m not the only one that doesn’t like the current Malaysian road tax. The old design was perfectly fine so I don’t know why they did away with it. The current one looks better I guess and has its own adhesive for sticking onto a windscreen. HOWEVER, nobody warns that removi...
Since it’s Friday and the last weekday of 2011, I thought I’d post up some pictures. # – On the way to our marriage registration. Probably around 7am? We didn’t sleep at all cause we were too excited. Around 9am, we drove home from Putrajaya, still unmarried because G was wearing jean...
Yay! Finally we’ve managed to throw the Xmas party that we’ve wanted to since last year but couldn’t. Gareth has always envisioned a Xmas dinner party just like the ones when he was a kid where everyone’s seated down at the dinner table, eating and drinking until it’s impossible to ea...
Feeling restless and unfulfilled lately? A little lethargic and pissed off at everything? Maybe you need to take a walk. No, I’m serious. Take a 1/2 hour walk, get out of the confines of your room and fill your lungs with some fresh air. Check out the trees, study how the leaves fall....
The Truly Loving Company (TLC) threw a recognition ceremony for all the companies for participants involved in the TLC Promise Me Season 2 Campaign. There was a total of 12 Golden Wishes and ALL of them were successfully granted by all the participating corporations. # – 12 Golden Wis...
Recently I went for a full health check-up. While undergoing something called the “stress test”, which involved me running on the treadmill with numerous pads strapped to my chest, the doctor told me that 2 out of 5 Malaysians are either obese or at risk of becoming obese. I almost to...
One of my most favourite cakes in the world is the tiramisu cake from Alexis. Being an avid home baker, of course it’s only a matter of time before I try to recreate it. After studying and dissecting the cake (involving many trips to Alexis to eat more cakes), I concluded that it’s ma...
Today marks our 7th anniversary. 2555 days after the faithful day that Gareth and I met for the first time at KL Sentral. It’s quite unbelievable to think that we’ve spent the past 7 years together because I still feel ridiculously in love every single day. I believe he feels the same...
Will be leaving for Penang in an hour, where we would be taking a ferry to Langkawi. Staying overnight at the island to enjoy its duty free goodies and then off to Koh Lipe we go! My bags are packed, my diving gears are finally complete and I’m so excited about my first dive overseas ...
Making scones may involve simple & basic ingredients, but if not careful might end up with hard lumps reminiscent of paper weights. Which is why I’m so impressed by the man for it’s his first time making scones and they were absolutely DELICIOUS!
I’ve started watching this show called Bionic Vet on BBC Lifestyle. The show is mind-blowing!!! It features the amazing work of vet Noel Fitzpatrick. Actually, calling Noel Fitzpatrick a vet is somewhat an understatement. While the average vet would recommend putting pets to sleep for...
It’s 5am. Just got back from supper. Burp. Prior to that, me and the BF joined REACH OUT on one of their outings distributing food to the homeless in our “beautiful” city, Kuala Lumpur. We started at 11.30pm and finished at 3.30am. REACH OUT is a strictly non-profit, non-political & n...
Some bastard knocked my car’s side mirror out clean. My heart bled for my suzy but shit happens. # – Wu wu wu wu wu. I don’t realise how much I use my mirrors until I lost one. I couldn’t drive. On top of that, it was raining. I passed driving duty to the BF. He drove Hyderabad style ...
Instead of scolding us though, the lady led us to a dingy coffee shop behind our hotel. A man was helping a very inebriated man out from the shop and we knew immediately, that we’re at the right place. We thanked the lady in headscarf, went into the semi-closed coffee shop and was met...
If I have to name one blogger that inspired me to cook and share recipes on my blog, it would be The Pioneer Woman . For one whole year prior to moving into our current home, I read her blog every single day and fantasized about cooking and making delicious, wholesome food. She’s the ...
You know I’ve never cooked prawns in my life till today? Prawns seemed like a hard subject to tackle (by now you’ve probably realised that I have a lot of unfounded fears about MANY things) but with enough persuasion (read: pleading from the BF), I decided to try my hands at cooking i...
For the longest time, the aluminium curtain tracks in our home bugged the shit out of me. # – Fugly aluminium curtain tracks. I couldn’t hide them because I didn’t have curtain hooks, hence I couldn’t tie the curtain back and hence I couldn’t attach the top of the curtains together to...
If you’ve made the peri-peri sauce that I’ve blogged about before, this recipe would be super stress-less to make! I made about 1 litre of peri-peri sauce last week and it’s such a superb concoction! Great as dipping sauce as well as a marinade. # – Peri-peri pork kebabs. And so….I de...
This dish was so good that the BF claimed that it’s my best Asian dish to date. That allegation kind of threw me off a little (because I’m certain I’ve made Asian dishes that are comparably good!!!) but I had to agree with him that it was beautifully fragrant and every morsel was juic...
Hello! How are you? I’m Kimberly and I am happily 27 going on 17. The wisdom and confidence that comes with my real age allows me to live life fully like a happy-go-lucky teenager. But while I’m spiritually quite young, physically I need some external assistance, teeheehee. The search...
I grew up eating bird’s nest and I never knew they were made of bird’s spit until one day, a documentary told me so. # – A bowl of spit, served with a half boiled egg, gingko nuts and syrup. Surprisingly, I wasn’t shocked or disgusted. I guess I’ve always been quite gungho and adventu...
If you followed me on Twitter , you probably know that I’m the biggest fan of Samsung Galaxy SII. It’s the most amazing phone I’ve ever used! (shout-out: Thank you M for the most kickass birthday present ever!!) Now, if you log on to http://www.samsung.com/my/lovegalaxysll/ , you can ...
It started with Fiqa bringing back some Garrett’s popcorn from Singapore for us to try. OMG the popcorn was gorgeous!! But since we were sharing the popcorn and I’m like really chinese when it comes to stuff like this, I didn’t eat more. I pretended that I was considerate and that I c...
For years we were bitter that the nearest Nando’s wouldn’t deliver to our home which was only about 5kms away. But that didn’t stop us from eating at Nando’s. In fact, if we ever spotted a Nando’s anywhere, it would take precedent over other meal options. Like seriously, we would know...
Sorry for the slew of advertorials this week. Sometimes they come all at once and I won’t have slots for personal blog posts to publish. Not that I’m not complaining really, because being paid to write about what you enjoy (food, parties etc)….not a lot of people get to do that! Anywa...
Tired of shopping on a shoestring budget? If you are on XPAX, U.O.X. or S.O.X., you now stand a chance of winning RM5000 shopping vouchers just by talking, more! Say what??? Yeah! It doesn’t matter if you are a new or existing customer – the more calls you make, the bigger your chance...
Since I’ve posted about how to make burger buns , it’s only natural to follow up with how I made the burger patties. Everytime after I’ve made things like meatballs or burgers, I do get to wonder why people buy the frozen stuff. Firstly, you’d have to thaw them and secondly, they tast...
Going to steal a line from KFC here. These ribs were finger lickin’ good! The method of cooking these ribs is quite similar to my first attempt, the sweet and sticky ribs . I wanted a marinade that doesn’t have so much sugar and after a bit of research I stumbled upon a recipe suppose...
It is compulsory for me to make an english trifle since I’m dating an Englishman. Besides, I LOVE trifle. It’s easy to make andn it’s so decadent and delicious. # – The Orange English Trifle. I decided to make trifle the easy way, by using all store bought ingredients rather than maki...
