Nique's: Stir-fry Chicken and Bok Choy

Another post featuring Nique's successful experiment. This time it was a simple yet balanced meal - stir fry chicken and bok choy with rice. Doesn't it look mouth-watering and delicious? I could see pieces of lean chicken meat, prawns, onion, soy sauce seasoning, and vegetable from the photo. I believe it smells and tastes as good as it looks 

Happy Valentine's Day

I found these beautiful 'love' origami -  made out of different paper material including a $50 dollar note :) in my treasure box when I was going through some personal collectibles. These lovely heart-shaped origami were given to me on different occasions many years ago and I still cherish them till this very day because they were special to to me, and they meant something dear to me. I thought it would be appropriate to post this on the blog in conjunction with Valentine's Day. Love, is the greatest gift of all in the world.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none

Old Town White Coffee

After much persistent persuasion, I finally convinced Nique to visit 1st Avenue Mall after its grand opening. It was my second visit to the mall and there were definitely more retailers than before. I like the atmosphere and layout because it's easy to window-shop without getting lost and confused. Though I had my eyes on a couple of items, no purchase was made since I was not sure about my desire and need for those items. Before we left the mall, Nique requested for Old Town's famous toasted bread with kaya spread and so we ended up in Old Town White Coffee cafe to have a little snack! I love Old Town white coffee minus the froth. 

Chinese New Year Collection

The Chinese New Year celebration for 2012 had officially ended last week. Here's a photo of my Chinese New Year cookies tin collection. The golden tin is my favourite and I like its vintage look.

Mushroom Soup & Toasted Bread

Sweet Potato Chips

I had one sweet potato sitting on my kitchen top for almost a week and I didn't know what to do with it. At last, I decided to make baked spicy sweet potato chips for snack. Easy-peasy and all done in a jiffy....yum!
However, it didn't turn out crispy enough. Perhaps I should bake it a little longer next time.

Then, I felt like getting drunk, so I had a can of Anglia Shandy - all by myself! But no, it didn't get me drunk. I just wanted to have something lemony to quench my thirst and this was the only drink I have in the fridge.

Sweet potato chips:
- Sweet potato - thinly sliced
- Seasoning: Salt, chilli powder, a dash of cooking oil. 

Penang Food

Clockwise from left: Chinese Fried Rice, Nasi Kandar, Roti Tissue

Nique and my sis are finally back in Penang for Chinese New Year celebration! - Yay! It's been a long-awaited arrival. Nique decided to have his first meal in Penang at Song River restaurant. We ordered a pot of flavourful Bak-kut-teh and a plate of tasty fried rice to satisfy Nique's craving for (a list of) local food. Next item to check off the list was the famous Nasi Kandar at Kayu. The following day, my sis requested to have Roti Tissue for breakfast upon her arrival, so we made a quick stop at Kayu again to fill her stomach.
