Doesn't matter if you speak French or English..


....we know what you mean when you ask for a MACARON! hehe :) I've just recently put out GIANT Macarons up on shelf at the Delectable outlets (Gardens & Pavilion) and it has been taking off like hotcakes! My Delectable 'elf' pei fung and I can't make em fast enough! LOL
Customers are so amused at my oversized sweet french babies in their pretty little ribboned boxes! I put out just 3 flavours.. Just 3... but just 3 super yummy macaron choices! *RM10/box of one delicious palm size macaron

1. Marmalade (Yellow)

Being Malaysian and having pronounced it "roon" for all the years I've known what they were.. it isn't easy trying to switch to "ron" after i realized this French sandwich almond meringue pastry is often confused with the coconut cookies in America called macaroons!

2. Caramel Latte (brown)


3. Pink Salt Chocolate (pink)

Much love to the macaron lovers of KL with generous feedback!

The Angry birds Phenomenon

Being a long and faithful Blackberry user; I began noticing angry birds paraphernalia at shopping malls, gift stores, gadgets, markets.. they were EVERYwhere! Round red and triangular yellow pillows at the back of cars...toys hanging off children school bags and stationary.. all over the place! What are these crazy looking birds?!.. i didn't realize for some time that they were from a Catapult game on Apple mobile products. All my Iphone buddies have been kept busy and addicted to this... and I have just jumped onto the bandwagon when dad got himself an Ipad. Now the entire family takes turns beating each others high scores everyday! Haha mom's pretty good... but I've got an unfair advantage with spending half my teenage years being hooked on games like worms and gunbound; mechanics are so similar. Makes me an instant angry birds MasTER~ *grin*



About a month ago; I was so lucky to meet Jackie and Miyuki who requested for a unique wedding cake concept. They wanted something fun, different ... and ANGRY birDS! YAY!!! I was thrilled!

Being very careful not to go overboard with the decorating and the colours; I conceptualized something that still resembled a cake for a wedding. Their friends had sketched them 2 little cartoon characters which was used in the wedding invitations and decor. I made the cute image of them both as a couple into a 3D topper they could keep.
The cake was so much fun to make; and at delivery; her friends and family all looked at the cake and went... OoOooo angry birds.. that's SOOo miyuki! haha I wonder if they played with the catapult and the birds after the wedding dinner. hehe I would have... though it was all made of all sugar; it would probably have been a fun and yummy angry birds real life war!

Getting my feet wet

I remember being very afraid of the ocean when I was a child. Just staring out into this vast unknown blanket of blue often made me fear what was beneath it's shimmery layers of reflection from the sun.
Whenever I was given a choice, i'd choose the swimming pool.. :)
Much has changed since I've made daring attempts at snorkeling and diving to see what amazing creatures lurked in those waters. Under the surface... it is often so peaceful. Yes.. big fish eat little fish.. and sea urchins are creepy crawlies.. but if you watch them in their natural environment; it is more calm more than anything!I love the waters so much more now.. I don't know about waves (still not too skilled with the surf), but nothing beats dunking my toes into cool waters on a hot day out. I should get myself a beach house someday. MmmMmm *dreams*
