Interests

Cooking

Cooking

Spending time in the kitchen can ease stress and restlessness, and enhance mindfulness. Not only does the process of cooking and baking improve moods, the feeling of satisfaction gained when seeing the end product naturally enhances happiness.  I am not so much into baking, but more into local traditional dishes like "nasi lemak" prawn "sambal" with stinky beans, sweet creamy and rich "durian" porridge that can be eaten with sticky rice.
