Thai Green Curry Paste

 I tried making my own Thai Green Curry Paste.... it is not difficult although there are a lot of ingredients into it. Homemade is fresher in taste than the store-bought and you can adjust the level of spiciness to your liking.

Chocolate Cake with Caramel Topping (Kek Coklat Puding Karamel)


Dear all my lovely friends and readers.... it has been almost 4 months break and now am backed but not sure how lasting it can be. Initially I planned for only a short break to settle into a new job and relocating to KL. Unfortunately it was far more complicated than I thought... not only trying to get use to the new way of life and works but my pc was crashed and at same time this blog was hijacked - I lost all my unsaved photos and files... it was very miserable experience! Slowly I pulled myself together with my husband supporting me strong from the back to ensure we get the new house ready and our things sorted as soon as possible whilst I stayed focus on the new challenging job.... without him I could have given up on everything....

This entry is to test whether the blog has fully recovered and let's pray it is. As a start, let's get sweetened by this lovely dessert cake.... I made this to bring to my sister's house for dinner. The cake is extremely moist and perfect combination with soft caramelized pudding!
