Cheesy Cheese Potato

My Rhumchoco cheesy cheese potato. Cut the potato into your likeable size - I always cut into finger size - steam for a while, and mixed with grated parmesan cheese, flour, eggs and last, the bread crumb..
Its my mom's recipe...originally, she doesn't peel off the skin potato..but me sometimes choose to make it skinless..Yummy!

Rhumchoco Booth Two

My weekender project decorating a new photobooth (well, it's nothing new) with my other fabric collections for my bestie..I am not sure about the color, it is something not perfectly matchy matchy...or too matchy matchy? I have to recreate with other color combo, I guess!

Pinata Clientele

My first Pinata clientele! I am not sure what's on their mind....were they happy, or did they think the Spongebob was not the "one"?  Anyway, they really made my day when I received this picture! I am happy and I am so thrilled to take another pinata challenges....

Ben 10? Princess? Hello Kitty? Barney?........Could I?

A Cook's Tour

One of my favorite show in Asian Food Channel is A Cook's Tour.

It is Anthony Bourdain who is so passionate to travel around more than a dozen countries in a search for the exotic and perfect meal.  When it said perfect meal, it is nothing perfect.  One thing I admired that he could eat anything...note : anything.....from a liver pate, an African-style cooking, a heart of a cobra, into a delicious fine dining gourmet.  He blends with the native to eat, talk and enjoy the meals....nothing pretentious! 
 
I wish I could be like him!

Pinata to Order

My Rhumchoco Pinata for my in law bestie.  It was completed within a day for a rush order and I was a bit sad for the result....the head and the face were not perfectly fit as I could imagine..well, does Spongebob actually have a head?

I am crossing my finger that my in law bestie will love it, in any case...please please please? No defense this is my 2nd timer...I still need to practise!

Puncak Pass

It is always nice to come back to Puncak Pass Resort

They have a great and delicious poffertjes,...my all-time father in-law fave...though I thought I am quite successful to cook the home-version poffertjes, but their version is always the best.

It's  fragrant, moist and reminding me of my grandma's kitchen when she baked!

Color Party

I was hosting my parents in law monthly gathering at my house.  I clubbed it together with my youngest, and in-laws...mom, sister, brothers birthdays.  No offense!

The confusing part was to choose the theme.  We are way, way too old to have bday party, so I took color as a theme.  Only color.  Why? because I did not have any theme to think about and it's more fit to our childhood memories!

The food?  Since it was monthly gathering, I choose a non-kid heavy meals! Nasi Liwet with  chicken wrapped pandan leave, rujak kangkung, fried tofu and shimeji mushroom and my own creation Kangkung Noddle with chicken wrapped enoki mushroom. Againnnnn....i didn't have the food pictures....to serve more than 50 people with only me, the hubby and my 2 home assistants to prepare were more than exhausting!

Rhumchoco Labels

My personalized labels for my homemade nugget for the besties...Yay !I printed this label from the free printable available here The Pretty Blog ..love it!

Bobbi Brown

Likewise, I am bit crazy with makeup now. I started piling up my makeup collections without knowing what to do next...

My recent collection is Bobbi Brown. This product has been positively reviewed by beauty bloggers.
I love the lipstick.  It is long lasting, and moisturizing, quickly becoming one of my daily go-to lipstick. The eye shadow is quite pigmented, you need not to apply twice to get the look, recommended!

Healthy Homemade

This is my home version of Broccoli Cheese Chicken Nuggets for my bestie kiddos. 

I believe most of working moms had the same worries on the type of foods for our kids. We had limited time yet lazy to serve healthy homemade cooking.  Junk foods sometimes is our weapons.  I feel blessed to be able to develop my home assistant to recreate our home version of restaurant meals..fresh, no preservatives.

And now, I was so excited to make this......at least I could support a healthy campaign for our small community of the next generation!

Go Go Small Green

This is what happened when you are too intoxicated by the Go Green spirit....I even printed out the new prevailing law to review in the booklet printing mode.....It's way tooo small, the boss even says I am a stingy girl!
