Welcome

Welcome to my first post for this blog. losemytummychef is my blog about my journey of trying to cook. I've had tried a couple of times and find that it's kinda therapeutic. And what better way then to blog about it.

As my earlier experimental dishes were picked up from a 'lose weight' book, I've been dishing out sort of all the healthy foods such as chicken salad, roast beef with cheddar cheese, salsa chicken wrap etc. etc. So, in this blog, I'm gonna write recipes, cooking tips, exercise regime I'm starting. YES, what better way to keep motivated then writing about it. I can keep track of my progress or lack of it and for all to see. Abit paiseh right?

In the works also, I'm thinking of learning some malay/javanese/thai/boyanese dishes from my mom. Yes, I'm made up of those dialects. Complicated sia. I can tell you the history of my family but it will take a Starbucks latte and muffins to tell the whole story *hint *hint. Anyway, that means I would have to take a trip up north to Malacca and spend a couple of days to get all those recipes and cook under the supervision of my mom. No, we're not from Malacca. I can tell you the whole story of HOW they end up in Malacca but this story would require a Marche dinner. heh...yes it's that complicated.

I vividly remember when she was still staying in Singapore and I was still schooling back then when she would, being a housewife, cook breakfast, lunch, tea-time goodies and dinner for us. There were the jemput-jemput ikan bilis, lauk chelok for dinner, mango sticky rice for tea-time, baked bananas with melted cheese(this one I gotta master it, dont think I've seen this one anywhere and not sure where she learnt it). There were also the boiled tapioca cooked with gula melaka and my favourite dish would be the 'ikan pecel'. It is BBQ pomfret fish cooked in coconut milk and belacan and using a special leaf(daun chekor).

So just a lookout for all this in my blog.
