These days, writing consistently is a challenge for me as I juggle between my new role as a mother, the creative head of my marketing agency and the author of this blog. There’s plenty I want to write about but finding a couple of hours to spare isn’t easy. But…
Pan Mee
I remember attempting to make pan mee in the UK – skyping with my mum in my room with a bag of flour, egg, water and an empty beer bottle in hand. Yeah, I was too cheap to buy myself a rolling pin haha! They were the worst noodles I’ve…
Pan mee is a dish I enjoy tucking into especially when the weather is chilly. I remember being homesick and desperate during my student days in the UK – I googled a pan mee recipe and tried making some for dinner. Needless to say, the outcome wasn’t pleasant. The pan…
Hidden gems are what rif and I would hunt for during the weekends, and we struck gold with the pan mee at Lucy Stall in Jalan Selesa, Taman Gembira. Lucy Stall is actually located in a house, at the corner of Jalan Selesa 1 so all you need to do…

Of late, I’ve been having incessant cravings for pan mee, which I foresee will last for at least 6 months. My wat tan hor phase lasted for a year, while my craving for NIPS chocolate lasted for 2 years. Heck, I even shipped 50 packets of the latter to the…
