There are a number of whale watching cruise operators in Gold Coast but we decided to go with the one operated by Sea World because they provide better package price when we take Sea World fun park and Whale watch combo package.

Anchovies savoury fritters / Cekodok (Cucur) ikan bilis

One of the reader commented in my recent post that she find it really interesting that Malaysians add anchovies to nearly everything. Yes, she is right, Malaysian like to eat anchovies, example for me, I add anchovies to this savoury fritters, noodles soup, fried rice , sambal and etc.
Cekodok (Cucur) or savoury fritter is one of the Malaysian favourite snack serve for tea time. Almost everyone knows how to make this yummy tea time snacks, because it is easy!

Madeleines

I was busy last weekend as my elder sister (who just lost her beloved husband) and her kids came over and stayed in my house. Finally she managed to buy a house nearby where i stay now, so it is convenient for me to take care her and kids. After several days of not baking, I tell myself I must bake something today. I just made my 1st madeleines just now using the silicone moulds which I bought from Daiso store recently (after meeting with Jane).

Fish fillets Mee Hoon soup (rice vermicelli noodle soup) 鱼肉米粉

I like to eat the famous Seremban‘s Fish Head Mee Hoon soup, as the soup is spicy (the spiciness came from liberal use of pepper) and little creamy by adding evaporated milk, which I couldn’t find in any other type of noodles soup. I tried to cook this noodle soup recently but replaced fish head (not my kid’s favorite) with fish fillets instead.
