Feeding The Poor On The Street

Last Saturday, 8 October 2011 me and my family had successfully feed 50 poor people near the Godness of Mercy Temple (next to Chinese Town Hall). Finally, I have the courage to cook for 50 pax with my hands. Off course I got some helps from my youngest sister and hubby.

You can always see some poor folks sitting there.

Some simple food. Yong Tau fu with Mixed vegetables fried with Chicken. Apart from that, they are also served with Corn & Carrot Soup.

Busy packing.

All are done. Rice, soup, water and cakes. All these are ready to be distribute.

If any of you wish to feed the poor on the street, please bear in mind - NO PORK. We have to respect one another culture.

Back For Cleaning

Did not realise that I have not been writing in my blog for a year. What a shame on myself. Lazy is the excuse. So now, I am back here again to sweep and clean my blog. Hopefully, the lazy excuse is away and I will begin to write back again soon

Art Blog

My 7 years old son love to draw so much and I decided to start off a blog for him. An artist who is also his teacher encouraged me to create a blog for him to keep all his art.

Delwin, started to draw when he is about 3+ with some guidance from hubby. Slowly, he love drawing so much. Initially, we buy him reams and reams of A4 papers from the bookshops. Sometimes, he will use about 4 - 5 reams of papers per month. Then, we have to find ways to cut down his usage. So, we decided to cut the A4 paper into half because there are times he only draw an animal and he will not use the empty place. Wherever we go, we will bring paper and pen along coz he will draw when we are not doing anything. Now, my 5 years old daughter is being influence by him. She is not a born artist but rather a follower. She just want to join in the fun with the big brother.

Does he look like an artist? Aiyoh!!! Mum & Dad also confuse liau. But, we want to motivate him. It may be a way for him to release his tention and it might be his hobby. Who knows, he will use his skill for something in the future. Everyone have got a way to release their tention, right?

She loves to draw because of her big brother. Whenever the brother is drawing, she will also ask for pen and paper to join in the fun. To be fair, we also send her for art class. Yes, both of them are under the guidance of an artist.

CUPCAKES!!!

Hainanese Chefs

A few regular customers pop by over at my shop today and we chatting on some cooking stuff. Yup, customers sometimes drop by and they bring over some food to share with me. How nice!!! Now you know, why I love my job so much. Hahaha......................... We were talking about how chefs works and some of the tips that we got from the chefs which work so great. Suddenly, a lady say this "normally a Hainanase Chef will not share alot". I gave her a smile and everyone start to agree. Being a 25%Hainanese I do not have any comment. Have you ever see a Hainanese cookbook in any bookshop before, do you? I am not too sure are all Hainanese Chef are like that - selfish in passing on their recipes.

What do you think? Are Hainanese Chefs selfish???

Finally ...............................

Finally, I had come out from my shell. After mum had pass away, I always feel so lazy to do things. Am I giving an excuse? Initially, I wanted to put a stop in writing blog but there were so much motivation from friends and hubby. Partly, I also like to 'kepo'. So, I will begin to write again.

Hardwicke House Penang

What a long silence from me! Almost 2 months friends don't hear from me. My mum were sick and I had been busy taking care of her and I don't have any time or mood to post up any news. Only close friends of mine will know what happen. But, my mum had lost in the battle and she leave us on 17 Oct 2009 (Saturday) at 3.15pm at the age of 59. Yup, it was on Deepavali. Since then, I had been busy running around for prayers and doing some other things. I really don't have the mood to do anything. But, my son make me realise something. On the second day of my mum death, I sat down at the corner where my 6 years old son were with me. He was busy playing with some clips and when he saw me crying he asked me, "mummy, are you sad"? I just keep quite and did not answer his question. He use his index finger and draw a circle and tell me this, "it's a circle of life". He shocked me by saying that. He is only 6 years old and he is a late talker. Well, like he says IT'S A CIRCLE OF LIFE. I got to move on with other things. Being the eldest in the sibling, I have to be strong.

After, 2 months of being silence let me share with you a nice place in town that you can consider of having a good and cheap buffet lunch during the weekdays. It's only RM18++. Off course, don't expect to have big prawns or exclusive items for such a cheap buffet. It sounded cheap and many of you might ask will this be a good one. They might not have a very wide range of items but if I am not mistaken, they have a salad counter which have more than 10 items with 4 different dressing, 1 rice, 1 noodle, 6 main course and quite a good range of desserts inclusing of ice-cream. I have been there a few times for lunch and they are always pack. Try to make a reservation especially on Sunday lunch. Sunday buffet lunch will be at RM20++.
