My mother-in-law use this pressure cooker to cook some of her favorite dishes. It’s saves time and the pressure ensures that food cooked in it turns out in full flavor. I dont know what brand this pressure cooker is. Cant see it anywhere on the cover nor the insides. I only know it’s not a cheap cooking appliance.
One of her favorite dish is spare ribs with tomatoes and garlic. Too bad i wasnt around each time she cooks this. If not, i would have taken some pictures and blogged about it. No problem, i just need to tell her to cook it again. My kid loves to eat rice with the gravy as it has tomatoes in it. Do you have a pressure cooker?

How to bake a cake without a proper mixer? Went to buy this Philips Cucina Mixer from Sen Q last week. Oh, dont you worry. I know all about those Kitchenaid mixers, k. But not until i have a kitchen of my own. I was an interior designer by profession and i do know my brands well, ya.
I bought this cos it had this flour sifter as you see on its box. It’s suppose to help you sift the flour as you add more to the batter. Eh, am i saying this right. Noob like hell.
This is the whole setup. Looks professional, right. As long as it does it job, can lah. What do you expect from Rm179 worr, haimai.
And here are its tools. Both the kneading and mixing tools.
And if i dont want to use the base, i have the option to remove the mixer itself to use this on its own. Not bad, hoh. So, do you prefer to use an electric hand mixer or beat the batter by hand? Care to share?

I bought this automatic soya milk make when i was around 6 months pregnant with Gordon. I got to know that baby will have good skin and blah blah blah and just like any first time mom, got this from Cosway for Rm139 i think. Went to the nearby medical hall and grabbed myself some yellow soy beans and black soy beans. Came back and made my very first batch of soya milk. Took me a few time to finally get the taste that i like. Anyone has this at home?

It all started with a loaf of Gardenia Toastem’ bread. Gordon loves it and we’ve run out of it. After tea, hubby drove to 7-11 to pick it up. I was saying it tastes much better toasted as the name suggests. That led us all the way to Parkson and i ended up with the Philips Toaster Oven HD4495.
It’s not a big toaster oven. Only 9L and toasts 4 pieces of bread at a go. It’s a multi-purpose toaster oven that does more than toast bread. I can bake, broil and keep food warm too. It’s easy-cook features promises delicious results every time. This small little wonder comes with an adjustable thermostat, 45-minute timer, baking tray and crumb tray.
This will suffice until i learn all the basics required to cook a decent meal. Then, it’s time to upgrade to something more adventurous like a convection oven. I’ve placed this on top of my old microwave oven, which i still havent discarded, lol. I chose this simply for it’s retro design and deep finish. I shall refrain from buying appliances in white finish as it gets dirty in our kitchen easily. As both the timer and thermostat is located at the bottom, it’s space saving too. Not bad for Rm169, huh.
And this is how its interior looks like. With just enough space for 1n 8″ x 8″ baking dish. Talking about baking dishes, it’s time i get all my Pyrex back from my sis’. I bought them when the urge bake struck when i was pregnant with Gordon. And that’s more than 4 years ago. So, now you know how long it was since i last baked, right. More later on. Thanks for dropping by…..
