I like these kind of seaweed! Which it taste a lil' sweet, a lil' salt, and a lil' crunch!
Like seaweed? Try this one, as this one is cheaper [Lol!] where it only cost you about RM 7 for 50 seal packs [times 3 pieces of seaweed in each pack]. Too bad that I couldn't show the outer bag where I bought, as it has been thrown away. If I'm not mistaken, it is a lil' white + orange? in colour, brand n
Katrina Kaif is the flavour of the season.
After doling out hit after hit, the gorgeous actress has been voted as the Sexiest Woman in the World by the FHM magazine.
"It's very sweet of them to conduct such a poll," Katrina says. "One should take it in the positive sense, rather than negative."

Asiatic Boy (Andrew Watkins) Another South African who appears to be regularly in the news these days, is Mike de Kock, whom we’ve been touting for many years now as one of the world’s best trainers of racehorses, if not the best. Mike is nothing if he’s not controversial, but it has to be said that a good deal of the flak he attracted in his early days, came not only from his ow
The Chote Nawab might allege that the media has a deliberate agenda against him and his arm candy Kareena, but you cannot blame them because Saif and Bebo seem to be the flavour of the season. If the onlookers of Zee Cine Awards are to be believed, both Saif and Kareena were all over each other in London.So much so, that there was no dearth of PDA. They could barely keep their hands off each other

"Do not dismiss the dish saying that it is just, simply food.The blessed thing is an entire civilization in itself"Abdulhak Sinasi Turkish Adana Kebabs...from a cuisine which is unique!Here's something new I made yesterday...Adana kebabs. The recipe comes from my younger sister who's known as the 'chicken queen' of our family. We're constantly digging into her reservoir of recipes because she's always trying different chicken recipes from cuisines across borders. These days she's exploring Turkish & North African cuisine, & I sit & wait for 'reviews & must try recommendations'! Lucky me...these kebabs from her Turkish-Mediterranean Cookbook were on the list of 'must tries' & were certainly worth the recommendations. The only hard work is the chopping...so for those of y
Herbs are the leafy greens of herbal plants, shrubs or tree (bay leaves) and come from temperate climates. There are many types of herbs such as the culinary herb which is used to impart a distinct flavour of foods, enhancing or accenting them. Then there are the medical herbs which can be used either as an infusion be consumed (as a tea), place over a wound as an antiseptic, for healing and for skin cleansing or treatment. Lastly there are the aromatherapies herbs which help soothe, calm and relax us. Usually only a small amount of herbs is needed to add flavour (a tablespoon or two) and is normally chopped or torn up to release the flavour and would not be eaten by itself. Below I present to you some of the herbs which maybe just spice up and add more flavour to your life.Common Culinary
"Ponder well on this point: the pleasant hours of our life are all connected by a more or less tangible link, with some memory of the table. "Charles Pierre Monselet 'CITRUS' DESSERT CAKE...like a happy sunflower!!Another nice dessert I created from the lemon cake sans sour cream. We had my brother-in-law over for dinner the other day, and as usual, I wanted to try something different. Put this together as the day went by with whatever ingredients I had on hand. Must say that DH was very skeptical about this 'experiment' but held his comments fearing an outburst. I can be pretty unpredictable at times, & who knows better than him!! The cake was scrumptious. It tasted a lot like a cheesecake...but wasn't a cheesecake. BIG HIT with the kids too, who had a second slice each, after a hearty dinner!!A cake that thinks its a cheesecake, but isn't!!So I made the lemon cake, recipe posted here, right upto dousing it with syrup etc. Thereafter...Chill the cake well for a couple of hou

I spend almost eight hours a day at work like a worker ant shifting grains of sands from one place to another but with bits of data that become part of a bigger picture.
When I get home from a monotonous day, my silly self will sometimes sit in front of the computer doing almost the same thing. I need to snap out of this. I need spend less time in front of this, but it can be oh so relaxing.
This is what encapsulates my usual weekday expenditure: sitting in front of a computer. If I’m not wasting time on the internet or wasting time with this blog or caught in some sort of digital vortex tweaking with code or organizing files, then I’m watching digitized film in the form of DVDs or DivX files. Is this where I saw myself in ten years when I was in high school? Perhaps.
I, along with millions of others across the globe, find ourselves in this vicious cycle. Will this habit change any time soon, or is this our inevitable doom?
I realize I can do a zillion other things, but aga

Malaysian oil palm plantation companies are flocking to Indonesia, and more collaboration between the two countries is expected INDONESIA continues to be the preferred investment destination for local plantation companies seeking expansion in oil palm plantations, given the scarcity of land in Malaysia. The republic leads the world in terms of oil palm area expansion despite new areas developed in Thailand, Cambodia, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. More importantly, Malaysian and Indonesian governments as well as private plantation bodies of the two countries have lately undertaken initiatives to jointly develop and promote the commodity in the world market. Indonesia is expected to produce 17.4 million tonnes of crude palm oil (CPO) this year, taking over Malaysia's spot as the world's largest palm oil producer. Malaysia's CPO production is projected at 16.5 million tonnes. One prominent industry player said: “Malaysian planters continue to remain hungry for green
Jhilmil and Pehalwan - No, these are not inter-caste lovers who have been hounded from their hiding places and strung up from the nearest tree by indignant relatives and friends. These are the imaginative, seductive names of two eating- places along the road to Delhi. There are many, many more by the sides of our crisscrossing, nation-wide highways. They are the ubiquitous dhabas that bring together India's roads and pilgrims.
Long before our erstwhile poet-PM thought of the "golden triangle", the gutsy Indian and his grandmother had set up degchis, phataas and charpoys for hungry voyagers. But now all these are to be sent into oblivion. They have flouted rules nobody heard of before the kadaais and tandoors were set up. We are to forfeit our chicken tikkas, sarson da saag and phulkas to some obscure rule-book or greedy politician whose palm has not had enough grease or belly engorged with free food.

Is this the real life, Is this just fantasy? No, it’s Ben and Jerrys, mmmm, how nice is that Ice Cream? So nice that I have to limit my intake in case I start resembling a cross between Rik Waller and Pavarotti, not a future I really crave to be honest. So the news that they are releasing a new flavour fills me with a combination of anguish and longing, and sets my tastebuds a-tingling. Oh baby, cant do this to me baby.
The new taste sensation about to hit stores is a combination of vanilla ice cream with fudge brownies and raspberry swirls. Now that sounds good, but it’s a bit of a mouthful, in more ways than one. So Ben and Jerry have decided to call it ‘Bohemian Raspberry‘! Not only is this much shorter and snappier, it’s also a tribute (of sorts) to Queen, one of the greatest rock bands ever, and Bohemian Rhapsody, one of my top 10 favourite songs of all time. Cherry Garcia was good, but this name and flavour kicks some serious butt.

Have you ever been to one of those really nice, modern restaurants where they offer a selection of breads for a starter? If you have, you may have been lucky enough to run into Balsamic Glaze. It is used with olive oil (extra virgin of course) as a dipping sauce for breads. What you do, or rather what the chef does, is put a small amount of Balsamic Glaze into one of those tiny ceramic bowls and then add olive oil to it. They seperate, so you have a bowl full of olive oil with this black stuff in the bottom. Just dip your bread in, making sure you get to the balsamic glaze and yummo - it is a real treat - a sweet/tart flavour that really compliments the richness of the olive oil and fresh baked bread.
After looking high and low for this stuff for simply ages, I finally came across it in Coles of all places (in the condiments aisle). Don't get it mixed up with the normal balsamic vinegar whatever you do, as they are two different things altogether. The glaze is thicker and m
