Quite a few months back, I wrote a post about heart healthy foods due to a lifestyle change but after that I seemed to have been posting quite some unhealthy foods (but all of it are darn good!) so now I will do a post on foods that prevent cancer.
I’ve been hearing a lot about some acquiantances or relatives or even friends succumbing to cancer. Cancer is a very frightening word and in this modern day when it is so common, we should do all we can to prevent it.
Although the Malaysian-German Society (MGS) here has been celebrating Octoberfest for years now, I had never actually made a point to go to it. Somehow I’d either miss it, forget about it or simply did not have the time to go for it.
So, this year, it is my first time I finally managed to go for the German celebration last night which is complete with loads of beer, naturally. Though I have really stopped drinking beer for years (and move on to wines occasionally), I remember loving the smoothness of German beer way back . . . → Read More: Eat, drink and be merry over at Octoberfest
I have heard good things about Spice & Rice Restaurant and Bar but have never tried it. Numerous times, I’ve passed by the restaurant which is prominently located along Light Street but still, I did not really thought of going there for lunch or dinner. Perhaps the thought of trying to find a parking space is one of those reasons.
Anyway, I made my first visit there recently when a friend suggested we go there as we happened to be in the vicinity and my car is already parked somewhere nearby. So, here’s my review of what I found . . . → Read More: Indian flavours over at Spice and Rice Restaurant and Bar
I had this sudden craving for steamed cream cracker cake but it is not sold anywhere. In fact, I tried asking around to see if anyone knows the recipe and not even my grandmother could help me on that. I remember eating steamed cream cracker cake a long time ago when a family friend made it but we have since lost touch with this family friend.
So, I did the next best thing. I googled it! Unfortunately, Google didn’t help me much this time. The closest to a steamed cream cracker recipe I could get to was the Sweet . . . → Read More: Steamed Cream Cracker Cake
Being typical Penangites foodie, naturally we’d go looking for some good and interesting food when we went to Koh Samui, Thailand for a short trip. So, what did we eat?
First, we stop at the local market…
The local market near Chaweng
There they sell quite a variety of local Thai food, most of which are grilled or deep fried.

It may seem a bit weird but it actually tasted quite good. After grilling it till it turned brown, they squash it (but did not . . . → Read More: What we ate when in Koh Samui
I love prawns, especially fresh ones and regardless of whether it is sea water prawns or freshwater prawns, I simply love eating prawns!
I know, I know, it is not healthy to be eating prawns all the time due to the high cholesterol content but hey, it is not everyday that I eat prawns, okay? It isn’t exactly cheap nowadays, anyway. So, when I got about 10 free prawns, this is what I did with it:
I thought I’d never be able to find cheap and good hawker food again in Penang what with most hawkers increasing their prices to RM3.50 per plate or if we are really lucky, RM3 per plate for two mouthfuls of pitifully small portion of food.
So, imagine my delight when I discovered this corner coffee shop in Island Park…
Island Park Restaurant
It is open daily for breakfast and lunch only. They have about six to eight hawker stalls. Amongst the good ones are the Char Koay Teow (Chinese style fried rice noodles), pan mee (handmade rice flour . . . → Read More: Cheap and good hawker food
