These are a few of my favourite things...

Back in Malaysia, everything I eat is SINFUL! Well, almost.

My favourite mug. I think I should bring this back here next year.




These food, you can't find it anywhere else out of my Ipoh house! My mother's cooking.

Yummy yin wor (bird's nest) with phau sam.



Choy geok (All kinds of food cooked in a pot, sour and hot!)




Pig's skin of head and ears (Lou jue tau pei and jue yee) GROSS! YUMMYY!!




And these ones, are the ones that I have been craving for, can't find it anywhere else or any better in Melbourne!

Need I introduce this one? I also had Sun Yin Loong and Cheong Kong's coffee. Slurp.



Tou chee bang. (Belly button biscuit) Some like to call it 'guay bang', a usual offering for worshipping during the ghostly month.



MY PUTU MAYAM! Found this man 'poot poot poot' on him motorbike one fine evening in KL.



Tai gou meen.




I am a happy woman.
