Here's My Story

Since I bought ginger, I cooked the ginger version of the chicken wing cooked previously . So the difference was, aside from substituting garlic with ginger, more light soy sauce compared to oyster sauce and more watery. I also used more ginger than I normally would to manage the "meaty smell" that Ban doesn't like.  He definitely prefered this over the garlic version. I loved the sauce so much that next day I made dry noodle dish with it :) When I next cooked this, it was using chicken breast and so as expected, he loved it even more. As a compromise, I marinated it with, among others, cornflour and a little oil so that it would taste dry. It's a keeper, for sure. The world's first weirdly shaped salmon cucumber avocado maki hahaha. I thought I could short cut the process by using larger strips of cucumber. Ok, I basically sliced it into two halfs longitudinally. Well, not going to do this again :D

I can't remember the last time I ever bought earphones until recently. Probably never lol. For past few years, my earphones would break down in the same fashion: one side stopped working. So I decided to get a new one and chanced it by buying a cheap RM 5.90 one from Daiso with a mechanism to easily rolled its wire after use, for ease of storage. However, it didn't last long. Again, one side stopped working. It's ok, it was cheap. So this time I bought a moderaly price pair, RM 15, at a gadget speciality shop, that came with a month warranty (was told when about to pay).  The English is fine, right? However, right at the bottom, there's this: Such a wild difference! "Everlasting Pain"?! Ban guessed that the first set of instructions was copied from elsehwere. What do you think?

The first time I registered an account with Domino was probably last year at Butterworth. I helped my sister to order for the entire household. One day, during MCO, I suddently thought of ordering pizzas. It just happened that I planned, with Ban's agreement, to have them on a Tuesday, without knowing that there were Super Tuesday deals where two coupons were available for pizzas at less than half their prices: one for regular and the other for personal. Lucky! Right after I paid for them online, I received two emails, one of which was titled "FREE 1 Personal Pizza for New Web registration Reward Credited to Your Account". Strange. So we decided to have pizza again on next Tuesday. Curiously, I received the same email! Lol. It happened again on the third Tuesday. I guess we'll be having pizza every Tuesday 😄

I saw this on FB, highly recommended by a relative, and I was already thinking of getting a cake to munch on as snack. I ordered it from Justinia Yong, despite its apparent pricey tag but it was fairly priced if compared to those sold by cake speciality shop, which was a fair comparison it turned out to be. It was delicious! Quite soft, and not so creamy. It was filling though and that was the problem for me: Ban doesn't eat much cake and I had a whole cake that was sliced into like 12-15 pieces. Furthermore, it was best consumed within 3 days (with refrigeration) but assured by its baker that it could last 5 days, which it did for me. I had to give away more than half of it to Ban's parents, their friend, and Ban's and my mutual friend, simonlover, who helped me quite a bit in relation to my parents' health. I decided not to order it again because of the task of finishing it but about a week later, Justinia posted on FB that, due to many requests, she...

Chicken is generally the cheapest meat in Malaysia, Singapore and, surprisingly, in Australia. Second cheapest is pork, in all those countries too. Ban and I prefer chicken to pork but we're getting a little sick with it lately haha. Problem is that it's far easier to cook chicken. I myself tried to mix it up during this MCO by replacing it with salmon, prawn, porkball and fishball. Ban was inspired by my idea: he stir-fried chicken that was marinaded overnight with Maggi curry powder seasoning. We had lots of those because his preferred way of eating instant noodle (he sometimes have it for supper) is to use Bovril, rather than the seasonig that comes with it. It was delicious, as expected, so much so that he did it again later hahaha. I don't like food with added MSG and so my sister suggested an alternative: bottled seasoning from Masterfoods. I bought the "All Purpose" seasoning for Ban to use and it was equally delicious! Yay! Incidentally, Ban pre...
