Oldtown Kopitiam Assam Laksa

My niece ordered this Assam Laksa when we went for tea at Oldtown Kopitiam yesterday evening. It’s the school holidays and both my sisters are home. So, we all went back to my Mom’s place for a get-together. Looking at this bowl of Assam Laksa now makes me so hungry. Moreover, it’s raining heavily. Who wouldnt say no to a bowl of steaming hot and spicy Assam Laksa, haimai. Too bad, it’s raining now. If not, i may just walk over to Oldtown Kopitiam……

Twisties Lurve

Have you tried Twisties Lurve before? My kids love it very much and walloped everything up shortly after i opened these two packets. We seldom allow them to eat junk food but since i havent tried it myself, they get the luxury of snacking on junk food just this once, lol. This Twisties Lurve is not too bad. But compared to the classic Red and Green Twisties i grew up with, i really prefer the latter two.

Famous Amos Cookies Toy Truck

I saw this Red Tin Toy Truck as i was going up the escalator right outside Jusco Supermarket. Malcolm forgot to take his favorite “car-car” along with us that day. He wasnt happy and was sulking in his stroller.

Being the ever loving mom that i am, i went down to ask the girl if the Red Toy Truck is for sale or not. To my delight, she told me it is but it comes together with a packet of Famous Amos Cookies.

It was then that i realised that Malcolm has never tasted Famous Amos Cookies before. So, what the heck. It’s only Rm21.90, and Malcolm gets a new Toy Truck too. And yes, he became the happiest kid as soon as i handed him this Famous Amos Red Tin Toy Truck.

Strawberries & Avocados

Bought a box of strawberries and three avocados from Tesco yesterday.It’s been quite a long time since i last ate avocados. I used to eat lots of them when i was still living in KL. It’s actually hubby who started buying them back one day and somehow, it got me back into eating this wonderful fruit again.

Strawberries and Avocado

Fruits have lots of antioxidants to neutralize all the free radicals in our body. Free radicals are baddies that contribute to aging. So, if you want to stay healthy and age slowly, do try your best to eat lots of fruits each day.

Strawberries

I read a study published in the Archives of Ophthalmology indicates that eating 3 or more servings of fruit per day may lower your risk of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), the primary cause of vision loss in older adults, by 36%, compared to persons who consume less than 1.5 servings of fruit daily.

Avocado

What are the benefits of avocado? Avocado has been used traditionally to help people with sexual problems. It’s also a great antioxidant and can be used to treat skin disorders. If you are suffering from digestive and circulatory problems, avocado may help heal these disorders too. You can also apply avocado paste to rashes and rough skin to make it smoother.

Took this just before it ends up in my mouth…. mmmMmmmm mmMmMMMMmmM mMmMMmM. Oh, dont just stare at my beautiful pics. My Nokia N82 really sibeh geng chau, haimai. Go pick up some strawberries and avocados on your next trip to the supermarket. Do you lots of good.

Ginger Egg Fried Rice

This is today’s brunch. We had lots of leftover rice from last night and i dont feel like eating out today. With just some ginger, shallots, garlic and a few eggs, everyone get to enjoy Ginger Eggs Fried Rice today. So, what are you gonna eat for lunch today?

I’ll be going out to get some stuff later in the afternoon. The thought of having to go to Jusco sends chills down my spine. I may ask hubby to stop the car at the main entrance whilst i run in to buy and ciao. I wanna come back and play this new Quiztastic Game by Playfish. I even found this Quiztastic Cheat :)
