This morning pulak, I received an email from London!
Hi Michelle,
I live in London, UK and would like to know where I can purchase pineapple tarts?
Aiyoyo! You live in London and you ask me where to buy pineapple tarts? I have never been to UK and never will be unless I strike lottery. 
And that is no way I can export my Nyonya Pineapple Tarts to UK unless she doesn’t mind eating Nyonya Pineapple Crumbs.
Hey, you Nyonyas who live in UK, go learn how to make Nyonya Pineapple Tarts and start a home business there. 
Dunno how? Search in this blog, I got the recipe and even step by step on how to make the pastry in Youtube!
I am so happy to know that our Nyonya Pineapple Tarts are traveling to US soon. 
We just sold 150 pcs today to a customer from KL. She told me that 50 pcs will be going to US; hand carry of course. She asked me to help me wrap the 50 pcs in foil paper but I have no idea how to go about it!
I hope they will enjoy the Pineapple Tarts and order more from us. 
You know, we don’t make pineapple tarts everyday. We make them upon orders so you can be sure they are as fresh as it can be. We will bake a day before collection.
Last week, someone named Evonne sms me asking for the location of the RM1 Nasi Lemak. I hope she found the place and enjoyed the RM1 Nasi Lemak.
We had visitors yesterday and I bought a few packets of the RM1 Nasi Lemak for them. I also brought along with me my camera so that I can take snapshot of the landmarks around the RM1 Nasi Lemak stall.
There is actually no stall there. Just a foldable table to place the RM1 Nasi Lemak and a chair for the seller to sit.
Do you notice that the basket is empty? I arrived at around 7.40am and I was informed that the nasi lemak were all sold out. Thank God I made my ordered thru phone and waited for her brother to bring the nasi lemak. They usually starts selling at 7am and by 8am, surely gone one. Here’s the hp no. to call: 017-6890946.
Opposite the stall is the Legenda Condominium.
Behind the stall is the Graceful Nursing Home.
All these landmarks are in Klebang Besar.
I hope the above would help you to find the RM1 Nasi Lemak.
Chicken Pong Teh, Fried Cauliflower with Carrot and Sambal Belacan will be our lunch and dinner today; prepared by my maid and I. I am so used to cooking and when baby is still sleeping I felt restless with nothing to do so I helped her and making sure she prepares the food the way I want it to be. Yup! I am fussy when I want to.
I added some hard boiled eggs into the Chicken Pong Teh for my children coz 2 of them don’t like eating meat.
Hubby just told me that he does not really like cauliflower because it is not green veggie. Haiya, tell lar earlier. I cooked so much already.
This is a MUST to eat together with the Chicken Pong Teh; Sambal Belacan. Unfortunately, I still can’t touch this because it has shrimp paste. No unclean food for me yet coz my right tummy still hurts.

We have some orders for the Hari Raya and Deepavali; 150 pcs only so far. Since our pineapple jam can make more than 700 pcs of pineapple tarts, we are opening our Nyonya Pineapple Tarts for sale again.
This time, you peeps from KL can have a taste of my mom’s Nyonya Pineapple Tarts because a friend of mine is coming to Malacca this Oct 10. Place your order a week before the date, she will bring them back to KL and you can collect them from her.
The price is 65 cents per piece (in RM). For more buttery taste, it will be 70 cents per pcs. Minimum order is 50 pcs.
To order, you can leave your comment here or email me at michellesoo@gmail.com.
This is how a RM1 Nasi Lemak looks like. So far this is the best RM1 Nasi Lemak that I have tried in Malacca. It has the Sambal, 2 slices of Cucumber and some Fried Anchovies. Some come with a small piece of omelet or hard boiled egg without the anchovies.
And this is how I eat my Nasi Lemak. I mix everything together. How do you eat your Nasi Lemak?
Since the Singh family came back, we have been having eating spree! It started with Melaka’s Famous Chicken Rice Ball, followed by Ayam Buah Keluak, Durians, Cheese Cake, Nasi Lemak, Roti Canai, Lempeng, Pizza, Muffins, Housewarming Party, Nasi Lemak again, Chicken Rice Ball again, Birthday Party and today, Nasi Lemak again!!!
This Friday will be my son’s actual birthday. I am thinking of baking him another birthday cake. And on Saturday we are going for Chinnee’s twins birthday party. If I am not breastfeeding, I will surely need the ephedrine.
Hubby is complaining that his tummy is getting rounder.
My in laws from Ipoh are back here for the school holiday and one of their ex-CF member is here too. One of their cravings when them come back to Melaka is the famous Chicken Rice Ball. We are blessed with their presence and their cravings because we get to enjoy the Chicken Rice Ball too. Actually arh, the Chicken Rice Ball is quite pricey and we hate to queue to buy food especially during weekends. So we won’t buy unless there are out-stationers coming for a visit.
So, how do you eat your Chicken Rice Ball?
My girl eats it like eating an apple while watching TV.
Finally! Today marks the 40 days of my confinement period. I can be like normal people again. Tomorrow I will be free to eat whatever I like, bathe cold water, and go out at night without feeling guilty. This is because I did not really follow the confinement practices 100% except not eating those unclean food such as prawns, squids, crabs, see-hum, certain type of fishes etc.
I am going to indulge myself with the food that I miss the most during this 40 days; Sambal Belacan! My lunch tomorrow will be Rice with Sambal Belacan and Salted Fish. Yum Yum.
Next will be Nasi Lemak, Tom Yam, Satay Celup, Beef Steak, Fried Kuay Teow with See Hum, Mee Goreng Mamak, Nasi Goreng Belacan, ABC, Cendol and much much more.
However all of the above I can only take in moderate because I am fully breastfeeding my baby. I can’t take food that is too cold or food that could cause him to have gas (wind in the tummy). The food that I can think of that could cause baby’s tummy to be bloated are coconut milk (lots of Nyonya food uses coconut milk leh… 
) and glutinous rice (lots of Nyonya kuih uses glutinous rice leh… ).
Like that I can only be 100% normal after I weaned baby off my nen-nen. That will be in 2 years time!!!
For many years we bought Dodol for Chinese New Year. Those Dodol are machine made. This year, we decided to make our own Dodol; we are going to “kacau dodol” (kacau = stir) as a family.
Below are some pictures of the Making of Dodol.
It started with the grounded wet glutinous rice (we bought a few packets of glutinous rice from the supermarket and sent it to be grinded) and coconut milk.
Then Gula Melaka is added to it. Once all the sugar has melted, durian and pandan leaves (for nice aroma) is being added.
This is how it looks like after 2 hours of “kacauing” stirring, paddling! It gets stickier and stickier, which means it gets harder to stir. That is when the sweats starts dripping. I wonder whether any escapes and drops into the wok.
This is how their hands look like after 2 hours of “kacau dodol”; full of blister. But the Dodol is not ready yet!
Finally after 3.5 hours, our Dodol is ready. The Quality Controller is MIL. When she said “No” they have to keep on stirring and finally after testing the Dodol for dunno how many times, she said, “Yes”. Phew! It is finally done.
If you noticed, we used gas instead of woods; not 100% traditional. During our grandparent’s time, they uses woods and the taste is so much better.
Anyway, our Dodol tasted soooooo much better than the machine made Dodol. Everyone is very satisfied with their “titik peluh” (literally) hard work.
Shall we do this every year?
