After I read a post from her blog, I got the inspiration to bake my very first Cheesecake this week. Although the cake looks a bit weird but the taste was good than what I'm expected.... yummy!!!

Chang, chang chang chang......It's macaroni in alphabet shape which I got it from a friend of mine. As she told me, it's bought by her MIL to her girl and she got a lot of it that cannot be finished, so she just share some with me. I got it yesterday and today I already bought all the ingredients to cook it for Kendra.


This is the soup with carrots, potatoes, tomatoes and ikan bilis. Looks very yummy, rite?


WOW, unbelievable.......Kendra can finished the whole bowl of macaroni....is't too delicious or just because she never taste macaroni before. By seeing her can finished the whole bowl of macaroni, I've more confident to cook now.
