Happiness is…
wanting to buy nothing but sotong in Korea finding joy in simple things. *** Remember I mentioned that of all the things that one can get in Seoul, all my mother wanted is a smelly sotong?

It was just a few days ago that I got an invitation go for a cooking demo at Bella, specifically on my cookbook “Malaysian Meals In 30 Minutes”. It was quite a rush. As it’s World Food day, we want to talk about cooking at home, packing lunch to work and reduce food wastage (all …
