Double Happiness

April 17, 2011/Sunday - Keningau Double Happiness! My Aunt Betty and I celebrated our advance birthday in Keningau. Thanks to mom, dad, sister & brother for the party!! Hrmm hmmm mmm our actual birthday is April 28...feeling lucky?? Buy this lotto number 2828 if you wish..lol... yup that's our combination birth date only different is the year hee hee hee....

This is also consider a family gathering, it's the only time that I could catch up with family members & enjoy the special feeling of being surrounded by relatives. Sometimes this gathering can be monotonous, so to enjoy the gathering, I have to make an effort to change the environment by creating a nice meal & ambiance for everyone to enjoy.

Mom had prepared her "secret recipe" prawn & cauliflower cheese fritters. Our old time favourite as a kid. Special thanks to cousin Evelyn for her superb triffle, Marianne for her great chili padi dipper Uuuuhh!! Kick!! My brother for arranging the tables & keeping us entertained with great "country" music. Not forgetting Chef Mursidi for preparing the delicious food, Ayam Masak Kicap, Ikan Lemak Cili Padi, Vegetable Au-Gratin, Fried noodle & Live station it's a Must here..he has prepared special marinated grill Prawn, Lamb, Buffalo wings & Sausages. Thanks to all who came to celebrate with us on this special day, it was great having everyone if not all, too bad my sister, David and little nephew DJ can't make it. Anyhoo, they took me to a beautiful dinner last night! That was amazing dinner. The meal was so fantastic I am begging for more or maybe just get the recipe--3 bowls of rice, I can tell you that has never happened before! Everything was delicious, including of course that amazing manggo dessert.

I appreciate It. It was great! Feels like 15 again & look forward to more fantastic meal!

Thanks again all!

Love
QT

Welcoming Note

Hello everyone! This is so exciting; I have a blog now. For a couple of years I’ve been thinking to create a blog, however it’s almost impossible for a computer illiterate like me to change the codes and layout. I finally made it, not as “hi-tech” as you think but I think it is alright for a beginner like me.

Briefly about me, I am not a real Chef but I work like one and because of my passion for food and love of eating, I am qualified as a home cook (*wink*). My dream is to have an empire one day, well maybe just a small cafe but for now I am happily operating from home. I have had 11 years of working experiences in pretigious 5 star hotels & Resorts & Fine Dining Restaurant in Sales & Marketing Department in Kota Kinabalu. I was always incharge in Events & Banquet sales. My 6 months of internship at The Lodge of Yarrow Augusta Michigan U.S.A had an impact in my life. I realized food makes me happy and I am happy to make people happy! Hence, I slowly begin to learn how to cook. Amazingly, God blesses me with greater talent in baking. I have just started baking in 2011 and still learning. When I was little girl, I have always wanted to become an Interior or a fashion designer, but I do not know why I did not persue. Lets just say, it was not an "In" thing at that time. So I show case my imagination and dress the table In-Style. I am very passionate working with colors, flowers and other objects that inspired me spontaneously, I am not a perfectionist but I have an eye for details.

I am so blessed that I do have an excellent kitchen team to assist with my little venture here. I could have not run this alone without assistance.

This sanctuary is a means for me to express my creativity through food and photography. I am delighted in simple things in life so you will not see any pretentious in everything I write here. I’m hoping that starting new will rejuvenate my spirit. So this new blog will start slow while I’m working behind the curtain, tweaking it with google guidance until it is finally completed. In the meantime, please enjoy your visit here and don’t hesitate to leave comments for me! God Bless you all ..Thank you
