I Bought A Double-Walled Glass And It's My New Favourite Thing. Here's Why You Should Get It Too

 I Bought A Double-Walled Glass And It's My New Favourite Thing. Here's Why You Should Get It Too. Image credit to Olivehome.my . I bought my glass from this seller in Shopee When double-walled glass is the in thing, I couldn't understand what the crave is all about. After all, all glasses are the same right? Just another container to drink your beverages from. Boy was I in a surprise. So I finally succumb to marketing pressure. While scrolling through Shopee , I couldn't help to add this super nice and affordable double-walled glass to the cart. Along with a wooden coaster.... And a teeny tiny wooden spoon that would look so great in my coffee photos. All totally aesthetically pleasing. Am I the only one with this problem of "add to cart syndrome"?  Like everything just looks so nice and feels like 'I gotta have this"?! My beautiful glass arrived within a week and since then I never look back. It has become my absolute favourite glass for anything an...

6 Effective Ways To Remove Icky Garlic Smell From Your Hands

  6 Effective Ways To Remove Icky Garlic Smell From Your Hands I absolutely love garlic and use it all the time in my cooking. If you are a garlic lover like me, I’m sure you are also familiar with “ garlic hands ”. That stubborn garlicky smell on your hands comes from sulfur molecules in the garlic and when you chopped them, you release the sulfur molecules. As much as I love garlic, honestly, it’s a love-hate relationship. There are times when the potent odor on my hands lingers days even after vigorous hand-washing.  Not sexy at all. So I would understand if most of us don’t want a whiff of that garlicky smell when we are applying face cream or putting our glasses on.  Surprisingly, it’s quite easy to get rid of the garlic smell on your hands. Here’s how. Garlic Removal Tip 1: Coffee Grounds  Coffee grounds are known as odor absorbers and work as an exfoliator to remove the garlic or onion smell from your hands.  All you have to do is pour a spoonful of co...

Resipi Lemon Butter Cake Gebu, Mudah Dan Dijamin Sedap

Resipi Lemon Butter Cake Gebu, Mudah Dan Dijamin Sedap I love cakes but I love baking more than I love eating them.  So sapa jadi mangsa habiskan kek-kek yang iols buatkan?  Colleagues dan kawan-kawan iols lah yang untung.  *Misi menggemukkan rakan sekerja* Lemon butter cake ni iols pernah buat seketika dahulu dan digemari oleh kawan iols, Ari Fatonah Diva. Tiba-tiba hari tu, iols dikunjungi oleh seruan angin surirumahtangga dan teringin nak buat lemon butter cake ni.  Resipi ni iols ambik dari blog Phong Hong Bakes and Cooks . I love her blog because she is a die-hard foodie and hilarious too. By the way, resipi ni CPPS approved sebab kek ni ringan dan gebu. It's on the lighter, not-so-dense side with a nice, not too overpowering aroma and taste of lemon. Super sedap dan digemari ramai!  Bahan-bahannya senang didapati, cuma teknik whisking egg whites and fold in the batter tu uols kena mantap sikit la. Hehe.  Lols. Just showing how air...

Are You Kari Ayam Because I Can't Live Without Chuu

I love chicken curry!!! Kari ayam adalah antara lauk kegemaran iols, selain pucuk ubi tumbuk goreng belacan. Fuhhh pucuk ubi masak cara apa sekalipun memang favourite CPPS. Makan pulak dengan nasik panas, gaul-gaul sampai hijau nasik tu iols buat. Full of chlorophyll.  Tibahhhh. By the way, kali ni iols nak cerita pasal kari ayam. Chehhh! Kari ayam pun nak cerita ke? Hampir semua orang reti masak kari ayam kot. Ye larhhhh. tapi lauk ni sangat individual sebab lain orang lain cara masakan, lain preference diorang. So takde cara yang betul atau salah, bergantung kepada citarasa masing-masing. Contohnya, antara makcik-makcik CPPS pun lain cara masakan diorang. Aunty A masak menggunakan serbuk kari mat salleh, jadi karinya agak mild dan berwarna kuning cair. Aunty B pulak karinya agak cair dan dimasukkan fuchuk. Aunty C karinya pekat dan penuh berperisa. I like my curry chicken spicy, full of spices with a thicker gravy. Uols pernah makan kari ayam mamak style? Haaa...

Resipi Ayam Panggang Dalam Oven Yang Confirm Jadi!

How I look like when I'm in the kitchen. I wish.  CPPS memang rajin masak. Bila iols upload gambar-gambar masakan, reaksi biasa kawan-kawan iols adalah "Wahhhh rajinnya you masak." Yes memang rajin tapi apa diorang tak tau adalah CPPS merupakan seorang tukang masak yang pemalas.  Sebabnya CPPS akan masak benda yang sedap tetapi memerlukan kerja atau persiapan yang sangat minimal. Ataupun sekali masak, dapat full meal terus. Sekali dengan carbs, protein, fiber, fats segala bagai. Semua orang boleh panggang ayam dalam oven. Tapi tak semua jadi sedap. Kebanyakkan masa ayam tu jadi kering sangat la, tak masak la, kering la. Iols pun dulu-dulu macam tu jugak. Hehe Kali ni CPPS nak share cara-cara iols selalu masak ayam yang sangat mudah, sangat sedap dan semestinya #nutritionistapproved. Roasted chicken ni kulitnya crispy tetapi isinya just nice, very tender and juicy, tulang boleh tertanggal macam tu je. Ni resipi campak-campak.  Takde sukatan peratu...
