15 min meal - Croissandwich

Croissant sandwich and 2 vege sandwiches

Crunch into a whole lot of vege (cucumber, tomato, coral salad) with extra calories from the buttery croissant and cheese with a ham in between!
First, toast the croissant layered with the ham and cheese. About 5 min will do.
After that, layer in your greens and reds and yellow even.
Don't forget to pour in some Kewpie deep roasted sesame sauce. You can spread in some mayonnaise or mustard or sauces of your choice.  

Munch it up! Enjoy!


Salted egg Pucuk Paku

Pucuk paku telur masin




This was a meal I had at home with my sister when our parents were away.
I stir fried the yolk of a mashed salted egg yolk til it was bubbling and added in the pucuk paku.
Seasoned with a lil oyster sauce and 3/4 teaspoon sugar.
We had it wrapped in coral salad, with cherry tomatoes and meat cubes.
Scrumptious!!

From packet ketchup into a dinner dish


I have recently been bugged by a dilemma between eating out or homemade solo meals. 
One requires extra budget from my not-so-fancy job, while the other prolong hunger time after work.
Well, I found a balance and slowly starting to like the creativity it takes for a kinda-lazy chef to whip up a meal!

sweet-sour chicken balls
 Turning packet ketchup into sweet sour sauce was genius! I have these packets lying around from takeaways and I never use them in sandwiches. So yeah, why not this?!
I dilute the sauce with some boiling hot water and add them into the dish.

Ingredients I saw in fridge:
  • chicken balls (from a steamboat party)
  • green beans from Bukit Tinggi bought 2 weeks ago
  • carrot (took 1/3 of it)
  • half a tomato
  • onion
  • oyster sauce 
And some salt, sugar and starch.

Stirfry them all and let the dish simmer about 3 minutes on the stove. And we're done!


It may be a loner's meal, but a full loner is a happy loner!

Yi Cha Xian Lao Yin, SS15, Subang Jaya




Exquisite tea and dessert.
Highly recommended.

Seoul Korea Restaurant, Taman Desa




Nice atmosphere for a friendly hangout, if you don't mind the oily after-smell on your shirt after.
Refillable side dishes to complement the main dishes.
Ginger tea and watermelon as dessert, on da house!
The best Korean restaurant I've been to so far. Beat Daorae, definitely!
Check it out! It's at Plaza Danau 2, Taman Danau Desa.

The Boy who could see Demons


It is a fine line between mental illness and real illusions.
So which is it that the character is having?
Make your own conclusion after finish reading this.

Reminds me of "Minds of Billy Milligan"
But milder.
