Welcome to My Virtual Kitchen!

Hi friends,

Welcome, welcome..My first time to have this page taught by my daughter. Im a slow learner so everytime when I want to enter my Kitchen, I will need her help and every ask will always get nagging from her!
Nevermind and thanks God, if not of her nagging, I will never happen to appear here!

Cooking is my duties I would say. I cook from young age until I got married till now and am aged almost half a century! But, I'm not a Chef nor very Pro. Im just as ordinary as a normal housewife.

One thing for sure to say is that when my cooking is praised and appreciated deep from the heart, haha.. I'll be very happy till I jump up to the ceiling!! and of course there are also comments. Well, I accept. No comments, no improvement.

Let's enjoy....!!!
