What have I been up to?

I was a Creative Designer for 4 years and I thought I would remain as one for the rest of my life until my husband got transferred. I was definitely excited when I knew that I had to resign my full time job as I never fancied an 8-5 job in the first place. But the thing is, he got transferred to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. I had mixed feelings about moving away from my family, friends and home of 26 years into a country which is so different.

Moving away from the comfort of home only meant one thing to me... that I'll need to start cooking. The thing is, I never cooked before. Not even after getting married as I was staying with my in-laws. So learning how to cook was my first priority before moving to HCMC. My mum is and will always be the best cook I've ever known! No one can beat your own mum's cooking, right? So I made her teach me all the basics of cooking and guess what? Once I moved into our new home in HCMC, I surprised myself. Sorry if I'm bragging but for a beginner, I was whipping out quite a variety of dishes. I've attempted cooking Indian, Malay, Chinese and Western cuisine. So far, it all turned out fairly good. This was when I realised that I actually had passion for cooking.

It has been almost a year since I've moved and I would love to share some of the dishes/desserts that I've cooked/baked. Sorry if the pictures are not clear since all of them were snapped using my iPhone camera.

I have always been wanting to blog about food and the fun leisure stuff that I get to do here as a housewife. But as usual, procrastination got the best of me. I will have to thank my friends, Nora, Craig and Putri for pushing me into making this happen sooner than I thought it would. Looking forward to blog more often and I'll definitely try to make it more interesting by posting more pictures yeah!

Till then....
