The best things in life aren’t things.
~ Art Buchwald

Good friends, great family, two wonderful dogs, and the most special person on this earth. Someone to hold and to hug. Someone to love and someone to love you in return. Tell me what’s better than that!

The strawberry: “Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did.”

Strawberry Tart

Love is not something your heart falls into, but something that picks it up and sets it soaring.
~ anonymous

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief…and unspeakable love.
~ Washington Irving

Juicy Strawberries!

This curry was like a performance of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony that I’d once heard…..especially the last movement, with everything screaming and banging ‘Joy.’ It stunned, it made one fear great art. My father could say nothing after the meal.

The Ipoh Hour! (click for larger view!)

Ipoh’s famous curry noodle is at Sin Seng Fatt and it’s located at Jalan Market, Ipoh Old Town. The curry noodle is spicy and fragrant with generous servings of prawns and ‘char-siew’. It tastes even more delicious when generous amount of lemon juice is added in the curry noodles. Apparently, the curry paste here is so good that it’s packed and sent to franchises in Hong Kong.

You may feel that you have eaten too much…but this pastry is like feathers – it is like snow. It is in fact good for you, a digestive!
