about me

Hey Everyone! Greetings from Sunny Singapore! I'm am so glad to have found this site. It is waaaayyy better than other sites I've been.

I have about 240 cookbooks and my faves are the older cookbooks I got from my mom as I prefer from scratch cooking.

I have created several cookbooks dedicated to the use of eggs. I have come across a number of recipes requests for using up lots of eggs. So there they are.

The above is a picture of me at my office's Annual Christmas cum costume party. I won first prize with that costume!

I love spicy food and the many different kinds of chilli dips different foods calls for!!

Love baking, cross stitching, trying my hand now in shoe beading and patchwork and now doing a course on aromatherapy. Oh and am now trying to raise a flower and herb garden but it is not easy as I am a newbie at that too!

In some of my recipes, you will note that there is a letter in brackets at the beginning of the name. This is what it means :

(A) : Aromatherapy/Homeopathic/Less toxic

I'm not crazy about recipes using pre-mix cakes as I am a more from-scratch person. My recipes will have the local name (when applicable) as well as the anglicised name, eg "Au Nee (Sweet Yam Paste).

If I had a month off, I'd spend it planning fund raising activities for the local cat shelters. They really need all the help they can get!

Favorite Foods:

I love all kinds of foods. One of my faves is my mom's Chicken Black Nut Curry or Ayam Buah Keluak. Takes about 1 week to do.

Don't really have a fave restuarant as I prefer to eat at home but I do frequent Swensen's a lot here.
