The food according to me..

Im still a novice cook.. in the process or discovering the art & pleasure of baking and cooking.. Away from my home country, the only way to satisfy my craving for home delicacies is to make them myself (modify them with whatever ingredients available locally). I like to try and discover new recipes.. but it has got to be simple, delicious & hassle free..

This blog is actually a request from a friend (haze, that’s u!). I’ve been keeping my recipes (the one I’ve tried and tested) all over the places.  Its probably the time to have a blog to keep all the recipes in one place. Enjoy!
