Best Fruit Cake, Sugee Cake and Murukku!

Now, how could I forget to promote the "business" of the person so close to home? My very own mother! A thousand apologies, Mee! My mother is a fantastic cook (okay, maybe I'm 0.01% biased) and can cook up a storm! Over the past years, she's been trying her hand at baking, and after experimenting, trying, tweaking recipes...she's got a couple of stellar winners! After much persuasion from family and friends, she finally took a step forward, dived in - and took orders. Good reviews so far! Here are her 3 best sellers:















MURUKKU
Maximum Spice Maximum Flavour.
Warning: Highly Addictive!
RM8 per bottle (minimum order: 3 bottles)















SUGEE CAKE
This traditional Eurasian recipe has been tried over and over again till the perfect combination of ingredients was achieved to create that heavenly first bite. Moist, fluffy, aromatic, full-bodied - reminiscent of festive celebrations! THIS is the real deal!
RM80 per cake




















FRUIT CAKE
I've never liked fruit cake - ever. Till I tried my mum's. Exquisite. Fragrant, bursting with plump juicy raisins,  and laced  enhanced with top quality brandy. The end product...indescribable.
RM80 per cake


My mum lives in Penang, so this post benefits the Penangites most :) But people in the Klang Valley, don't feel left out .. Mum does have people doing deliveries to KL once in a while - so you can just try your luck :)


Notes:
Please allow
*5 days notice for sugee cake and murukku
*14 days notice for fruit cake as the fruits need to be soaked in brandy for at least 1 week
Self-collection on a cash upon delivery (COD) basis

Malaysia Glaucoma Society



I was in my church cafe the other day about to have my lunch. Scanned the surroundings and saw a couple seated already having their lunch. We've exchanged hellos along the way, but we've never exchanged more than 2 words to each other. So, I decided to sit with them.

I got to know how Stevens lost his eyesight. It was due to glaucoma. Read his story here or listen to his interview on BFM Kaye, his wife is a great caregiver - I've always noticed how patient and loving she is to her husband. We chatted at length about eyesight, as my dad suffers from retinitis pigmentosa and has about 1% of sight left. So I am quite involved and in the know of the life of one who is visually handicapped. It is not easy and I really admire them.

As a result of his own experience, Stevens founded the Malaysia Glaucoma Society so that early detection could be done to reduce unnecessary blindness. Do visit the website at http://www.saveonesight.com/
