This is what our view like just moments after our flight took off from Sydney International Airport. A clear blue sky and very beautiful day…

Pandan Muffins with Coconut Milk
When I first started baking, I used to make this recipe quite often. It is such a really easy recipe, no need to use electric mixer, and takes practically no time to whip these up. The texture are dense and not as crumbly as the regular muffins and of course the pandan paste gives it lovely sweet fragrant.
So, I had a busy time at work few weeks back and all that time I kept thinking I NEED to bake something; but just didn’t have the energy to do it. I tend to run to baking and/or eating when under stress, do anyone else share same trait here? (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ So finally one day after dinner, I flipped through my recipe book, saw this recipe and knew this is the one!
Restaurant Review – Peace Harmony Restaurant, Sydney
Here is another overdue restaurant review that has been sitting on my draft for a while now. This was our first time dining in the Peace Harmony, although we have had take-away once before. Peace Harmony is a vegetarian restaurant serving Thai cuisines and they have two locations in Sydney, one in Erskine St and the other in King St. This review is for the Erskine St one.
The restaurant is tiny, there were probably less than 50 seats available; which I guess explains why many people mention that it is better to do take away here. We went there around 5.30, so technically it is pre-dinner rush hour, and there were only 3 tables occupied when we were there. We were acknowledged by the service staff and seated right away, given the menu and only took our order when we called out.
This time we ordered Satay Chicken, Roast Duck Red Curry, and Chilli Basil Stir Fry with rice. Waiting time for the food was quite long considering it was far less than full-house, it took almost 30 minutes before the satay chicken came out, then another 15 minutes before the rest came. Ok, does the food worth the wait? The satay chicken definitely does! Yummmy…. Even hubby thinks that we should have just ordered 3 servings of them! The roast duck red curry is nice and we both love the “roast duck”, but the red curry is too sweet to our liking; but it is enjoyable. As for the chilli basil stir fry, it is tasty, well-balanced of salty and sweet and slightly spicy; in fact it is our second favorite menu of all three.
Will we come back again? Yes, but for take away only 🙂 It is so much easier to do take away, just give them a call to put your order and come back within 20-30 minutes to pick up. We will definitely be back for the satay, that’s for sure! Can you tell that they are not real meat? Yes, you can tell, but they are very tasty regardless; even for hubby who loves meat, had enjoyed the meal here and wants to come back again.

Sambal Egg
Actually I think that may not be the right name for the dish, but that is what we have called it since I was a kid whenever Mom made it. My husband thinks it should be called Telur Balado. Well, whatever the name is, it is yummy to eat with warm rice (っ˘ڡ˘ς)

1. I am a cat person, although I am not sure I like to have any pets myself 😛
2. I started wearing glasses when I was in year 5 and my first glasses were of Disney brand hahaha
3. I used to hate the smell of coriander, only started to appreciate it in the last 12 years (っ˘ڡ˘ς)

5. My favourite holiday is Christmas ? (which I am pretty sure, a lot of other people do agree with me!)
