One fine day in 2003, I decided to start a food blog to tease my sister and my mother who were both living in the USA. Somehow, along the way, I ended up feeding a lot of people just via the food pictures that I put up everyday. In 2005, I decided to take a break from blogging and just take it easy. So there were sporadic posts from my travels in the US as well as Germany and England. Now in 2009, I'm trying to pick it up again and start chronicaling my journey towards a better lifestyle that is more healthy than what it currently is right now.

Hey you! Why are you taking a picture of me!!!

How could I not? She look so cute carrying the huge plate with pieces of watermelon. The plate looks as big as her! Taken after the church ceremony, she was such a darling. So cute walking around in her brown boots. She was also snapping pictures everywhere as well. Her name is Bianca Abat Wright and she is one of my many nieces who are sweet, cute and bubbly. Not to mention that she chatters up a storm.

: : Passing of my teacher : :

It was so sad to hear this morning that one of my secondary school teacher has passed away at around 2 a.m. this morning. Her name was Rose Agan. She was a fun Math teacher (believe it or not) and always had something good to say to everyone. She would tell us off when we were unruly and still joke with us a few minutes later.

The funeral is to be held on Sunday 13 June 2004 1 a.m. at the Krokop Evangelical Church, Miri.

: : Ten-Ichi ~ Japanese Restaurant : :

Last week, after taking Granny to the clinic, we had lunch at Ten-Ichi, the Japanese restaurant owned by the Lok Thian family. It’s her first time there and was a bit apprehensive about going. She doesn’t quite take to uncooked food like sushi so it took me quite a while to persuade her to go out and eat here. Still, she enjoyed herself in the end.

As usual, I ordered my favourite dish of pickled seaweed. Again, it was a little bit too salty but Granny quite like it. Said that it tasted so different and was already thinking of ways to make it.

I also ordered a plate ot tai teri (think it’s that in the bill) @ chicken teriyaki for Granny. Not too sweet and the blend of the teriyaki soy sauce and sugar was just right.

As she loves beancurd and wanted to have some noodles, we ordered the kitsune udon @ beancurd skin udon. Huge bowl! It was not easy to finish it but both of us nearly do. Yum! And there goes my diet. Sigh. Ah well. Once in awhile is alright, I suppose.

: : The Junk : :

Once in a while, one finds a very nice colourful and tasty salad.

Hence, the mango chicken salad at the Junk is truly, seriously, delicious! Not to mention the colour is attractive. Makes healthy eating go down a long ways.

(For meat eaters, stop cringing!)

…and, it was a little red rose amongst all the delicious layered cake.

Delicious, isn’t it? The layered cake is a firm favourite amongst many although these days it’s getting a little bit too oily for me. Too much butter, I guess. But, the ones that you see above were just nice.
