 Sometimes it surprises me how Yaseen loves Thai food even though we live so far away. I try to balance between Thai and Indian cooking in my household while exposing my family with different cuisines we find interesting. There is very few things in the world Yaseen doesn’t like.
I remembered the first time I took him back to my hometown. He sat down with my family and ate everything so nicely. He looked so belong and was able to eat anything, even the one that I had never introduced to him. Everybody was surprise.
One of the dishes that I didn’t teach him is noodle and curry. He loves them naturally. Noodle and curry is an ultimate comfort food in Thailand. It can be found anywhere from local street to five star restaurant. Though making curry sauce for Thai noodle is not at all difficult but I

 Thank you all for warm welcome and encouraging comments. Tes put me on spotlight and seemed to set the expectations very high. Let me try to pull it through. By the way, I’m here to share and maybe— just let it out. I am not quite yet to come to term with a “blog author” If it is about eating food, give me a fork and I’ll start.
Before I open my mouth about anything else, let me just say few words about myself.
I studied Mechanical Engineering, my father wanted me to be a vehicle inspector but the destiny had something different installed for me. I’m a business consultant who works on computer and talk to people for most part of the day. Ya, that’s right. They called us IT Folk.
I used to think I’m a person with no passion, but later I realized I’m passionate

 It is a romantic day, there is some kind of flimsy mist in the air. Very whimsical and dreamy. The first thing I touched in the morning was chocolate he gave me.
And then there are these beautiful things…
I love them all…
The evening garden is also very calm and soothing
and here is the token of our love for three and a half years… it’s growing as our love grows…
Dinner at our favourite restaurant, Yaseen was by our sides didn’t mind the romatic air. He was watching Ben10 on youtube in my husband’s phone.
Expecting an indulging massage before bed… Ahem
Love,

 We had squid rings for dinner last night. I know sometimes I can be so cool serving crispy deep fried stuff at suspicious hours. My husband and son loved it so much devouring every crunchy crumb coated squid rings at the bottom of the dish.
The next morning they still couldn’t get enough of squid demanding I make something with squid again for lunch.
So this was what I came up with. Stir fried tender slice of squid with mushroom and broccoli. The trick to make squid very tender and juicy at the same time without being too chewy or rubbery is to cook it in very high temperature as quickly as possible. Now, as my wok was ready roaring the greasy smoke up the air. I dumped the squid slices in, and those freshest things instantly sizzled and curled up. I only stirred twice before throwing in

 We always think of this blog as a living room in our home. Cozy and happy. It’s a place where everybody hang out and share good food. A few months ago, we’ve been thinking of expanding blog in different directions i.e. introducing more varieties of recipes, having more diverse posts like traveling, crafting, books, health and parenting, etc. Though food is going to be the central and main topic of the blog but we would like to stir in more topics. So when you stop by our home, you can expect many things to chat with while we’re serving you really hot and spicy meal.
It was overwhelming thinking about developing this idea at first, but my husband has show his interest in helping and participating more in our blog. He will be in charge of reviewing products and gadgets, some of the travelogues, silly jokes, and random thought

 I have two and a half hours by myself every late morning after Yaseen go to school. It is one of my favourite moments of the day to be secluded from everything else. I have a great space on an old couch that is very warm and comforting. It is also situated on the grand view of my stove. The kitchen door is always open and the stove is always firing. I usually dive in the fuzzy couch with a book to read, laptop to write, and yes, always a frizzy drink on the side. To be fully submerged in an extreme self- indulgence, I usually set my kitchen in an autopilot mode.
And stew seems to be a perfect recipe for this moment. An instant I am free, I carefully pick the ingredients and throw them into the pot. A good stew needs to be simmered in

 Jaew is Thai style dipping sauce. It can be thin or thick and even dense like texture of chutney. Jaew and other kind of dipping sauce are often accompanied the meal and various dishes. The dishes couldn’t be complete without these delicious dips sitting on the side.
The main ingredient of Jaew is definitely chili. The fresher, the better. These chili base dipping sauce are very simple to make and consist of very few ingredients. There are different versions of Jaew which can be made from different kind of chili, fresh or dried. My favourite kind is the simplest kind; it is also the sassiest kind.
This version is made with ground dried red chili, fresh lime juice, sugar, fish sauce and chopped scallion. It’s difficult to determine the measurement; it really depends on your preference. Mine has to be spicy and fresh. The trick to make the

 I am a fantasy girl. I love the stories that stretch the reality in my life. That’s why more than half of the books I own are about magic, mystical world and things beyond my wildest imaginations.
I picked up this book as a regular dose of vampire attack. It was simple, clean and quite fun.
Evernight is the first book in the Evernight series by Claudia Gray. It starts with a girl enrolled in a prestigious, old, boarding school, Evernight Academy, where her parents moved to teach. The students at Evernight Academy are too perfect, smart, beautiful, rich and well groomed. She is very uncomfortable with the new changes and feel like an outcast. This mysterious school is not thing as it seems. There are horror and mysteries roaming around everywhere.
The first portion is mostly about her coping with the transition in school which I thought

 Do you have a recipe that filled with all of your favourite ingredients? How can it go wrong when a pot is simmering every single thing you love together? I have a simple soup recipe that you are going to love. It is so simple and quick unlike a lot of soup recipe that needed to be cooked for longer time. This soup barely takes 15 minutes to make. It doesn’t require pre-made stock or broth. The flavour is freshly developed right at the second you heat the pot.
Fresh coconut milk and cream gives a perfect texture to the soup. It is light and creamy at the same time. Ginger is another important key, it gives a wonderful kick with pungent aroma. I used prawn for this recipe but you can also use other kind of protein preferred. For my vegetarian friends, the combination of pea, broccoli,

 Egg curry is one of the easiest Indian recipes I can make. It’s wholesome and flavourful perfect for weekend brunch or afternoon comfort bite. The flavour is straight forward, spicy, tangy and very aromatic.
The curry sauce is onion and tomato base. Now you can imagine the sweetness of onion mingle in the tangy intensity of fresh tomato. The star of the recipe must be Garam Masala, and aromatic blend of spices that enwrap everything together. Hard boiled eggs are added at the end. The eggs soak up the wonderful flavour and colour of the sauce so well.
Egg curry is great with Indian flatbread. It is also really amazing with savoury pancake or crepe. But what we really love with it is deep fried flatbread. Deep fried flatbread is especially crispy on the outside, slightly chewy and soft on the inside. It sops up the curry
