About Me

I'm just an everyday gal, who enjoys many things -- maybe too many for my own good. However, kitchen wasn't a place, besides meal time, that I would like to linger in my younger days before I got married & have my own home, and of course, my OWN kitchen -- that makes a whole lotta difference, doesn't it? I believe most if not all wives would be able to identify with me here. ;)

I've always enjoyed my older sisters' cooking & baking. They (all 3 of them!) can really cook & bake!! With just simple and basic ingredients, they can whip up something that, even now my mouth salivates just thinking of it. And they keep their kitchen immaculate -- suffice to say it's something I didn't grow up with!!! My brother-in-laws are VERY lucky men, and their children SUPERBLY blessed!

So they gave me hope -- we ARE from the same family! Hehe!

I only started cooking -- with my own initiative -- in my very early 20s. Lotsa trial & error, as I decided to teach myself by reading up recipe books (then I didn't have internet!!). Then I tried some baking too -- chocolate/banana cakes, local specialties, pizza, cheese cakes etc. But somehow, I didn't really get into it, as I wasn't entirely myself in my mom's kitchen. My parents both can cook! But each to his/her own.

Honestly, I really do wish I've started cooking and baking many years earlier like how I do now. I must say that, the power of inspiration cannot be overstated. I was inspired by my sisters mostly, and also by all the cooking/baking TV shows. Then with the help of my love/passion for food, I decided to give my best in these areas before I get too old for them!
