My favourite topic!! Lockdown has given me a chance to explore a new way of working. Using textures in a collage style is so fun, bold & speedier amidst the 'home schooling' and puppy training!

Love the sweet desserts and breakfast from France, elegant, fresh and delicious. Colorful and delicate.

It’s just such a pleasure to visit the farmer’s market on sunny morning and to select the best looking freshest fruits and veggies for a home cooked dinner.

I want to travel to France! For The adventure, and of course (actually in the first place) for the food, for the pastries. Traveling is currently a no go because of Covid 19, but we can still travel in our art!

All through the process of illustrating this, I have been craving croissants and pain au chocolat, and I still do!

Definitely a bit late for the cheese challenge but had the best time creating this nonetheless! Here is a delectable selection of delicious cheese from our local cheese market x

It’s the season of cherries, strawberries and fresh salads again! Simply can’t get enough!
And another favourite thing you can buy at the local farmer’s market (if you can’t prepare it yourself) is the juice from elderberry flowers. So refreshing for the hot summer days with ice and a squeeze of lemon!

With what the world is going through right now , farmers everywhere deserve our utmost respect. Bargaining is a common practice in a lot of local markets and refraining from doing so ,especially in times like this is the least we could do to support them.

I remember we were sent lots of farm fresh mangoes from our grandpa’s brother who had a farm in village. Mangoes are nostalgia for me

Eat seasonal and local. Stay healthy and strong!

It’s finally Eid Fitr, a celebration to commemorate success in fasting during the month of Ramadhan. Eid Fitri is celebrated during the Islamic month, Syawal.

In Malaysia, Malays will usually insert either rice or glutinous rice in different parts of plants depending on the type of food we make. For instance, there are ketupat, which is rice cooked inside woven young palm leaves, the triangular ketupat palas, glutinous rice inserted in palas leaves and finally, lemang, glutinous rice wrapped with banana leaves and cooked in a bamboo stick with coconut milk.

These are one of the many local Malaysian food that we make at our kampung to celebrate the arrival of Eid Fitr.
