The chilli is pretty hot.

Roast loin of pork and apple sauce

It was my first time roasting loin of pork and making my own apple sauce. It was rather delicious and it goes well with roast potatoes and a bottle of beer.

Happy New Year 2012!

We stayed at home on new year's eve. We had a simple dinner of roast chicken and a bottle of champagne. Here's wishing all my family and friends a great and blessed New Year!

Feta Stuffed Chicken Breast

I learnt this recipe from the 4 Ingredients Christmas cookbook by Kim McCosker which was given to me by my husband. I can't wait to try the rest of the recipes. It is really the easiest cookbook that I ever own as mentioned on the cover of the book. An excellent and handy cookbook for me as I really enjoy the simplicity of cooking using only four ingredients.

My beloved Mother (1928 - 2011) RIP

My beloved mother passed away on 16th October 2011 at the age of 83. I flew back to Kuala Lumpur and then off to Taiping. My other siblings were already in Taiping and some were on their way. The last time I saw my mother was early last year before I went over to Sydney to be with my partner. I remember that my brother called me on Sunday morning to inform me of the sad news. I felt so devastated and sad and it broke my heart when I later saw the look of my younger brother, for he has always been the good son taking great care of our mother.

The funeral took place on the 5th day after her passing. She was cremated and her urn was placed in a temple next to my father who passed away more than 20 years ago.

I really miss her and sometimes I still cannot believe that she is no longer with us. It seems like everything happened so fast and it has created such a big void in my heart. Nothing can ever replace the love I feel for my Mother. I love you dearly Mother. May your soul rest in peace....
