Indulge with family and friends or freeze for future treats because you would not be able to stop at just one or two or even three. :) Enjoy! Make the filling […]
Cashew Cookies
These melt-in-your-mouth, heavenly little morsels are simply irresistible and are extremely easy to make. Not only that, I love that it’s dairy free which means I can indulge. :) Delicious!

Coconut Pandan Bread (Tangzhong Method)
Love this light and fluffy, coconut, pandan-flavored bread! It is so easy to make with a bread machine and the bread is delicious as is or slathered with kaya, a coconut jam that is a staple in most Malaysian households. Enjoy!

We didn’t manage to get out to our regular fishing spot this year (photos were actually taken two years ago which I just discovered on my phone)…..hopefully we’ll make it next year. Dreaming of summer days. ❤️

Anchovy Sambal (Sambal Ikan Bilis)
Warning! This recipe is not for the faint-hearted! Let me be frank – if I have access to decent anchovy sambal (i.e. if I’m in Malaysia), I will not be toiling over the stove for hours to produce this indescribable spicy deliciousness. :) Today, I will be making Nasi Lemak, Malaysia’s national dish, of which […]
Malaysian Honeycomb Cake/Beehive Cake
This is one of my favorite cakes from childhood! Named after its honeycomb-like patterns, it has two distinct layers – the top is light and tender while the bottom has a texture similar to a sponge cake. The flavor is reminiscent of warm, delicious butterscotch and is surprisingly not too sweet – we absolutely love […]
A Few Hours in Cleveland
Keith and I took a much needed day off, wandering around and doing nothing, lol. We went to three Asian grocery stores – finally found the ingredients we were seeking in the third one. Then, we stopped for a quick meal – I am still a little on the fence but the Beef Chow Hor […]

It was a beautiful day and we managed to do some yard cleanup before the next batch of rain arrives tomorrow. Love the fresh, crisp air, the beauty around us, and sunshine on my face. Happy Fall, Everyone!
