Life as a semi housewife, and I would start blogging about some easy tips to make your life easier If someone gonna ask me, “hey, can you cook?” I would definitely answer I’m not a good cook. Somehow I do love to learn new thing as long as it’s EASY to deal with. =)

So during our house warming, my sister in law bought us a set of Yogurt Maker. At first I thought I won’t be using it very often since it take times for preparation. Somehow after I realise how easy it is, and I’ve fall in love with making yogurt.  Most importantly, Alex love it so I will continuously feed him. Haha!

Let’s get started with the Yogurt Maker. The pricing for Easiyo products are varies depends on location or shop.  I saw the price ranging from RM70 to RM90.  With this maker, you also need the Yogurt Base & Culture.

The range for the powder is around RM14 – RM18.50 . Some place have the Buy 5 Free 1 Promo. The best flavor so far I’ve tried are peach and strawberry.

• Add in 1 packet of Easiyo into the 1Kg bottle, add cold water till half
• Shake it and add more water till top
• Closely it tightly.
• Put it into the Yogurt Maker, add in Hot Water to the indicated level.
• Put it overnight (8 hours or more), and chilled it in fridge.

That’s all. Your yogurt is SET!

So plain yogurt normally is boring, maybe after a few times you will fed up with it. To enhance it, try mix it with some fruit. I think peach is the best to mix with any flavor. And to make it even more interesting, you can make it as Yogurt Drink, which is called  Lassi.

Some of my friends add in Banana or Milk if you want a richer taste.

I get myself a new blender, exchange it with my credit card points. Yipee.. so this is consider FREE.

• Put a few spoons of set yogurt into the blender, fill 1/4 of the blender.

• Then add in the peach, I added 10 slices and to make it sweeter, i pour in the syrup.
• Add in Cold Water to 3/4 of the blender
• Blend It.

.

• After blend, taste it if you need to add more yogurt or peach.  If it’s too sweet, then add more cold water.
• I keep 1 bottle (1litter)  in the fridge so that we can drink it anytime we want.

So that’s it..  The Easy Yogurt or Lassi is done.  Although the ingredients are quite costly and it’s just slightly cheaper if you compare on shelf brand. At least it’s more fun and flexible to build a healthy lifestyle.  Let’s try it and let me know what’s your outcome after this !

Im not born with a Silverspoon but I can now dine at Silverspoon. Sounds good right? This is new sister outlet by the Citrus, and which I’m expecting that this gonna be something different from Citrus. It’s a talk in town, because lately there’s a lot of new eatery shop booming out in Miri.

Silverspoon is located opposite of See Hua Daily or it’s easier to locate, same row of Dr. Teo clinic where the DAP ceramah was located.

The decoration of this cafe is quite unique, simple and nice. It’s quite a comfy environment for family and friends.

As we sitted down, the long menu will be given by the waiter. And here comes my question mark??
All WORDS, No PIC, I think they only expect people who can read to dine here “_”

Looking at the menu, it’s towards western food but I can’t think of what to order because I’m there for a lunch. Hence I ask is there any noodles? The answer is NO. Luckily they serve rice, Oh God, we are typical chinese that we can’t survive without Noodle or Rice :p

The Ice Lemon Tea for him.

Hot Lemon for me

A Bowl of Apple Tong Shui , we shared <3

Alex ordered Fried Rice with Ham. The name might not be accurate cos it’s been quite sometime we dine here. Taste good, and i love it The servings of the food looks real attractive to me.

Then I have this pork chop with rice. Although it taste good but it’s kinda dry to me. I’m a typical chinese that must have soup or gravy for my rice here it’s hardly for me to swallow the rice

Before the end of this food review, let’s guess where did I taken this picture? =)

Thank You Mr Alex for bringing me here for a lovely lunch

This is not a latest news, but a review to Little Vietnam could be very useful for those who are still thinking whether to go or not to go. So this Vietnamese Cuisine is just newly open at Boulevard Commercial Centre. If you know where’s Dessert Master, then you will see this just at the corner.

We visited Little Vietnam a week after the opening, just to avoid the crowd. During it’s opening we saw there’s a lot of guest of honor. It is not strange as this business is run by one of the rich tycoon in Miri. Anyhow, we were there for the food,  so let’s take a look at the menu.

Frankly, the menu is too limited and even the drinks are too limited too. Looking at the price, that cost for at least RM12 per bowl,  I could only only afford to dine here once in a blue moon. The specialties of the Vietnamese Cuisine are main focusing on their “PHO” which is Vietnamese Kuih Tiaw. Taste good, smooth, chewy and  better than our normal kuih tiaw. At least it’s something you can’t easily get it outside.

The waitress here are from Vietnam, very cute and friendly but I hardly catch their English.

The restaurants covers with a few Vietnam Ladies paintings,  and the seats are just simple wooden table and stools.

This is Beef Stew with Rice RM16.

Portion : BIG
The soup is very thick, but i found it’s a little oily and salty for me. Somehow Alex love it much

The Pho Beef.

The waitress introduce me Pho Beef. She says this is highly recommended, and I seconded it. The soup is very good, i can taste it , it’s not MSG soup but its boiled with good ingredients.  Take a look at the Kuih Tiaw, the beef slice, the portion is too big until I have to give half of it to Alex.

And to make this Pho Beef even tastier, you can add in Basil Leaves, Chilies and Lemon at your own preference.

2 glasses of complimentary drinks as we did not order any beverage.  They only have coffee and canned drinks. Both are not our favourite but luckily the waitress are kind enough to provide us chinese tea.

That’s not the end, it comes with another 2 pieces of complimentary kuih. Taste Good Too!

Although overall we spent RM31 for 2 bowls of expensive Kuih Tiaw, but we found that it’s actually worth to try. The portion itself its worthwhile not to say it’s ingredients and taste.
