Salam Ramadhan Kareem to all my Muslim sisters and brothers!

Oh wow...it has been truly a long time since i last updated the blog. Had not got the chance to try out new sempoi recipes since starting work back in April :(. Entered my therapy room (kitchen) often but mainly to eat instead of experimenting huhuhuhuhu.

Rindunya nak update resipi sempoi baru tp belum kesempatan nak try out. kalau ada kengkawan yg nak sumbangkan / link resipi sempoi2 sudi sudikan lah ye...

Selamat masak & selamat berbuka semua!
