{LovelyIdeas} Pink Salmon




I have locked my eyes for the color of  salmon pink for quite some times. I do love pink pretty much but it was a bit boring. Something new and fresh would be best to boost up a cheerful day! So, I have been searching through the net for the color scheme and YES...I don't know which one to choose.

Salmon Rose

Light Salmon Rose

But after a while seeing these colors, I think that the Salmon color looks more warm than the rest and I love it too. So, how can I choose which one is the best. I REALLY NEED HELP!

Strawberry Cheesecake




It has been a while I didn't bake cheese cake due to the unhealthy oven. The oven has been coughing smokes and lucky it doesn't went KABOOOM!!! Phew~ I am still alive!!!..huhu
The great thing is finally I found the 7 inch cake tin. I felt really happy to have it at first but after baking the cheesecake, the result, emm wasn't that great. Such a disappointed feeling. The cheesecake was a bit soggy in the middle. Kesian bile tengok cheesecake tu. I think to overcome this problem is just stick to the 8 inch pan or   bake for an hour at 150˚C and let the cake settle down in the oven for 30 minutes.


In 7 inch tin - Petite and look yummy!

Recipe: Pandan Layered Cake

Special Chicken Chop




While in Penang, I have decided to drag my BF to roam around and find something interesting. He showed me the Penang Port which I found quite beautiful at night. We went further up north looking for food.

          Then I saw this glittery and a really nice decorated restaurant just besides the main road. There we decided to have Lamb Chops, Mixed Grilled, Mee Gulung (the waiter told it was the restaurant's special dish), Lime with Asam Boi and Soursop drinks, although earlier we are actually have eaten Glutinous Rice with Mango and Laksa. Probably I feel a bit greedy at that time. Lol! The portion of the food was BIG and can be considered as CHEAP.. The taste for me is good and nice suitable with the price. Total price of the dishes are below RM50.00! HAPPY!

So, guys don't forget to check out this place!
