The Nonya Diaries: The Wishing Tree
http://nonyadiaries.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-wishing-tree.html
Monday, July 20, 2015. Bub's school celebrated tanabata. A couple of weeks ago and as part of the festivities, each child made their own "wishing tree" from huge sprigs of bamboo. The children coloured strips of paper and the teacher helped them write down the wishes. Bubs was bursting with pride when he got home that day and asked me to read all of his wishes. So, in no particular order :). Awww, kids are so easy to satisfy. This one's a cinch. KL Godma will be delighted to see this wish. Blogs I ♥.

The Nonya Diaries: April 2015

Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Onn Kee Chicken Rice in Penang. This might seem almost sacrilegious but each time we're in Ipoh, we never go for nga choy kai. The newly opened Onn Kee Chicken Rice at Bukit Mertajam is located in a nice, very clean and air-conditioned shop lot just across from Tesco Alma. We were a little taken aback at how sleek and modern the premises were. Beansprouts) were definitely a must have (RM3) and Hubs opted for a portion of dry koay teow. The beansprouts added some nice crunch - alm...

The Nonya Diaries: Fika Cafe, Penang
http://nonyadiaries.blogspot.com/2015/07/fika-cafe-penang.html
Thursday, July 9, 2015. Fika Cafe, Penang. Fika Cafe, a beautifully restored prewar heritage house located in Lorong Toh Aka, offers traditional Swedish treats and a chic environment to just relax and watch the world go by from its tiny windows. Be warned that it's hard to find parking around this literally tiny lane so you might want to consider parking at Beach Street or better yet, rent a bicycle and explore this charming part of Penang. There's also a cute outdoor area where you can sit and chill.

Saturday, July 25, 2015. Han Sang Korean Well-Being Food at Penang. All sets are served at RM16 (promotional price, it's usually RM19) and comes with free, refillable drinks, a small bowl of salad, seaweed soup and kimchi (which is also for sale at the Korean mart). I am a huge fan of topokki,. A soft, chewy rice cake and their version of it served on a sizzling hot plate with a spicy gravy topped with gooey, melted cheese was delectable. There was a also a hard boiled egg and slices of fishcakes. Meet T...

Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Awesome Canteen at Sekeping Victoria. Awesome Canteen, which has roots in KL, has just set up its first Penang branch in one of my favourite places: Sekeping Victoria. Think faded paint, sunlight dappled walls and tall, skinny trees growing right in the middle of the place. This would make a fun place to catchup with friends as you're spoiled for choices of seating arrangements as each piece of the re-puposed furniture is certainly unique. We had fun wandering about the place.

The Nonya Diaries: September 2014
http://nonyadiaries.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 30, 2014. Bubs caught a bad tummy bug, the type that resorted in a frantic 1am drive to the hospital, reverting to diapers (thank goodness we still kept a pack) and keeping a plastic bag handy wherever we went. In case you are wondering - it took heaps of baking soda, fresh rosemary sprigs and opened windows for Hub's car to smell somewhat normal again. When Bubs semi-recovered, both Hubs and I caught his bug :( I think we used up most of the plastic bags in the house. I got a lot of w...

The Nonya Diaries: October 2014
http://nonyadiaries.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 29, 2014. I'd to go to Bangkok for a work trip so figured that I could sneak in Hubs and Bubs into my luggage for a couple of nights ;). Even though we were there for 4 days, I'd meetings for half the time so we didn't get a lot of time to really go around for sight seeing so whenever we had little pockets of time, these were mainly spent at malls. We stayed at the Anantara Sathorn and it was such a relaxing stay right in the middle of the bustling city. The cakes were reminiscent of t...

The Nonya Diaries: Chill
http://nonyadiaries.blogspot.com/2015/08/chill.html
Sunday, August 2, 2015. It has been a mentally and physically draining week: my inbox has been crammed full with issues and I'm still recovering from a nasty cold. It's gotten to the point where I wake up 7.30am even on weekends, my mind already frantic with the list of tasks and I'm unable to get it to shut down for a while. It was good to just recharge over the weekend and to remind myself to breathe. China House is chock a block full of delicious desserts and beautiful, quiet corners alike. Bubs w...

The Nonya Diaries: The Weekend in Snaps
http://nonyadiaries.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-weekend-in-snaps.html
Friday, August 7, 2015. The Weekend in Snaps. It's been a really quiet but meaningful weekend spent with family. Hubs and I spent close to half a day at the MPH bookstore's Bookerville Carnival where popcorn and candy floss galore were served in unlimited quantities to participants. It was supposed to be a fancy dress but as most children came in casual clothes, Superbubs got a prize just for dressing up :D. Hubs: You need a roof for the cages. That is one very scary kid .
