Culinary skills & Vday

Besides putting on weight this year...i learnt how to make chole, naan, tandori chicken and basically cook for more than 2 people :) i had invited Fayvier and family over for a farewell dinner... so i made chole, soya chunks, tandoori chicken, toufu bhurji, raita and cumin rice which was served with papadums and chutney (self made) and also i made mango pudding and served it with fruit cocktail for dessert
It was satisfying to know that my guests enjoyed the meal :) and more satisfying to know my culinary skills are bucking up!


I made kadhai chicken, cumin rice, naan and chicken korma for valentines day :)it was our first valentines after our wedding and it was a really special one ;)
I got 3 roses (I LOVE U) and a cupid bear :) and 69 cups which are really cute!)


This nasi lemak comes with a differently marinated chicken :) cldnt help but notice the resemblance with the chicken breast and the shape of a heart :)

Turning 26

A birthday is just another 365 days around the sun :) Enjoy the ride.... i sure am enjoying it!
Its my birthday and unlike many others, i have no qualms about revealing my age...although many a times i only remember turning 21... ;)so the number 21 is still quick o come out when i mention my age...when reality hits and i realise its 5 years past that...;)woosh time really flies eh :)

Heres my Birthday Present!

A hazelnut chocolate mousse cake from Christine my baking teacher!

My parents surprised me by wishing me at the stroke of midnight right after alvin wished me and chandini wished me the next morning!My elder sister wished me before the day ended and i was thinking she would have forgotten! ;)

Alvin made this a really special day for me too...i was treated like a princess...just lazing around ;) no cooking no cleaning or watsoever! we dined out at lotus since the rest of the restaurants were either fully booked or filled as there was a singer in town to perform ;)

My darling husband got me a vanilla custard cake which i still cant seem to get enough of. ;)i ate almost the entire cake by myself. Now i dont think its a wonder where the extra weight is coming from :) but he even found a solution for that.. the orbitrek elite! :) hehe this was a present laden birthday! :) thank u everyone for making is to special! :)
