During my last holiday, I don't remember doing any cooking, at all. My culinary skills ( if they do existed bahahah ) was put to a good long rest. When I have my mom around, who needs my cooking anyway. Therefore, after returned to Q8, I need to start all over again. I noticed, during summer, meals based on santan was not a hit so I've decided to go for more grilled stuff, and simpler menu.

Another thing about summer, we just don't go out often due to extreme temperature hence mommies at my building came out with a few indoor activities to fill our pastime. Among many, below are two activities I've had opportunity to join and it was sooooo much fun. At times like this, when doing it together, even boring, un-attractive activity like making your own noodle turned out to be a memorable moments. 5 kilos yellow mee was ready in no time and felt effortless.

Enough rambling, lets photos do the selling..

Even though I already prepared Chicken Rice beforehand, still some of my friends were thoughtful enough by bringing their own potluck. Below are among those foods we had that day....




For the better part of the week, there's another mommies's activity I took part which is Projek Membuat Keropok Lekor. Before experiencing it myself, I just can't imagined keropok lekor as something that can be home-made. Turned out, I was wrong.





Apart of those 2 "mega" project I'm involved in, there's also few of my own made meals I prepared for my lil family. It may not looked feasty or tempting enough for some of you, but there is so much efforts poured in creating below meals, and gladly my family enjoyed it too Alhamdullilah.









During summer here in Q8 ( or maybe some other places with 4 seasons too ), I noticed there'll be water melon almost everywhere and their watermelon wasn't anything like the one in Malaysia, no offense. In my opinion, Q8 water melon was like the juiciest and sweetest I've ever tasted. The colour was sooo shocking red which is to me very important factor, since the visual plays important role. No one would wanna buy pink watermelon eh? Unfortunately, "they" have tad too much seeds for my liking I found it a bit inconvinient especially when eating with minor. A friend of mine gave us this melon and since it was so juicy, I've decided to made watermelon juice.
