Non-Bake Mango Marshmallow Cheesecake Recipe
We celebrated 2 #CircuitBreaker birthdays this month (yup, both the hubby and my birthdays are in May, only 10 days apart!). Since we are unable to head out for a nice meal, the daughter has requested that we bake a cake for Daddy. When I said 'yes', I did not expect to be dashing to various supermarkets as some of the key ingredients were literally impossible to get during this period! I SOS-ed my trusty home-baker friend, Kai Lee of @CativatingCakeAndCupcake and she got me the essentials … [Read more...]

The pandemic is still evolving every minute and a threat to the livelihoods of those who had under-estimated its deadliness. The announcement of a 2-weeks total lock down by Malaysia yesterday (16 March 2020) sent a new wave of shoppers scrambling to stock … [Read more...]
Beauty in the Pot, 美滋锅 One KM Mall Review
David and I both love steamboat. Over the years, our kids have grown to like it too. A steamboat (a.k.a hotpot) meal allows for jolly conversations with friends and family members over a nutritious meal. Recently we visited Beauty in The Pot 美滋锅 at One KM Mall, a relatively new hotpot restaurant opened by the homegrown Paradise Group. The Playground: Tucked inside Beauty in the Pot is the restaurant’s very own playground named ‘Angela’s Playground.’ This playground was … [Read more...]
Benefits of Slow Juicing with Hurom Juicer
When cancer came knocking “People generally don’t think about what they eat or drink…until cancer hits them.” I was making this remark to a close friend over the weekend. In fact, the truth is, we were like that too. While we don’t purposefully load ourselves with fatty, oily or sugary food, we weren't mindful of the nutrients our body needs to recuperate and rebuild. We had been guilty of being indifferent about diet and nutrition until cancer came knocking. One of the first lifestyle … [Read more...]

{Giveaway} Celebrate Christmas with Morganfield’s!
The year-end season is a time for gatherings. Whether it's with families, colleagues or friends, it's a wonderful time to slow our pace and catch-up over a nice meal, perhaps even usher in the new year together!

Before you know it, what was envisioned as a relaxed gathering has just morphed into a highly-strung nightmare (esp for the cook!)! … [Read more...]
Jamie’s Italian – Kids Menu 2017
Finding a good restaurant where the entire family can eat healthily can be quite a challenge. Firstly, it seemed most dining establishments coughed out a kids menus as an after-thought. Most kids menu items, if any, are predictable and horribly lacking in nutrition: think frozen pizzas, tasteless chicken nuggets, spaghetti drowned in tomato sauce with nary any fresh ingredients. Sometimes, having the kids consume the adult's portion may not be ideal as the amount of salt, seasoning, spices, … [Read more...]
