Pork Satay 猪肉沙爹

A town called Tampin near my parent's house has a small Satay stall that sells pork and chicken satay from midnight to dawn hours. It is a very busy stall even though its hours are not ordinary, it is so busy that sometimes the customers h…

Daging Dendeng Yang Sedap

Low Point Banana Muffins

Back in the day, it wasn’t unusual for me eat a giant Otis Spunkmeyer banana nut muffin with a giant Dr. Pepper on my way to work. In case anyone is counting WW points – that would be 18 points for just the muffin – and that was my “appeti…
