Sometimes you may not know what to serve as an entrée, so perhaps this might help in changing a little different for this coming Thanksgiving. ^_^

Are Malaysians becoming "too sweet"?
What I used to know about Malaysia is that Malaysians LOVE spices... the famous food of Nasi Lemak and other Malaysian delicacy has always been great and yummy...
But perhaps we should start looking into the sugar content of the food we have like the "Teh Tarik" (Pulled Red Tea), and not to mention, fast food, and pay more attention to a healthy lifestyle, when we see the headlines of
There is 1.2 million Malaysians suffering from diabetes. Do you know enough about this silent disease? Have a read and be informed.
To read more about it click HERE
I didn't know how serious it is until my brother also started to have the beginning stage of diabetes...
Perhaps that's one of the reason the Malaysian government is taking over sugar industry one by one? Either to see that there's "a lot of money earned with such a demand in the market" or "to try to control its Malaysian citizens from using too much sugar"
Which will that be, I wonder?
Since Thanksgiving is so near, I have searched through my recipe database from Cancer Project and share with you some neat healthy suggestions for dinner.
Roasting vegetables with a mix of spices is an easy way to get all the healthy nutrients and fiber you need with very little added fat. This combination uses broccoli, peppers, squash, and eggplant. Serve them as a side dish, over couscous or brown rice, or wrapped up in a tortilla with salsa.
Do enjoy!

Hi, although this is article does based on Spiritual walk, especially Christianity, but sometimes you can’t help but agree that the Bible actually has some pretty good points for you to apply in facing any daily lives, even in this era. I really hope that people of all faiths and believes can take a look and manage to learn something out of it.
Today I was blessed to have attending the Ecclesiastes series, where many Christians or anyone who read the this book before, would have found it very hard to finish it, because if you read it on surface, word by word, it DOES sound grim from the most famous wise king in history – King Solomon

The 2 block Ramadan Market
Have you ever seen most, if not all the yummiest local Malay cuisine, from traditional to modern, all packed in a street before? If you haven't you'd probably be interested to visit one of those special season markets during the Muslim fasting month. They are called as "Pasar Ramadan" (or The Ramadan Month Market) and they only exist annually during the Muslim fasting month so that fellow Muslim may be able to avoid major traffic jam at restaurants or even rushing home to cook when individuals or families break fast in the evening

I must admit that I have not gone to McDonalds for months now, not to say that I don’t the food, but sometimes, it is just getting too expensive to purchase one decent meal from there, unless I am going for just a quick burger.
Recently I met my ex housemate and she told me that there was a new breakfast dish on the McDonald’s. I remembered back in the years I used to walk to McDonald’s for the breakfast set, Sausage McMuffins, for the sake of the Snoopy collection, but since then they have not come out with any new dish… But my ex housemate was laughing and teasing me that it has been there for quite a while

If you are bored with the mayo and regular coleslaw, this salad can be quite refreshing for you.
Mango lovers (like me) would find it delightful as well, and moreover, this salad boasts beta-carotene from the mango and lutein from the spinach, which are cousins in the carotenoid family and important antioxidants. Aside from cancer prevention and survival, Lutein is recognized for its key role in eye health
