Cass was slightly late when she got down to the lobby to the waiting school van today... all because of a moth in the house! This rascal can be a bully in the house but she's a scaredy cat and is terrified of flying insects, especially moths, butterflies, roaches and any insect that has fluttering wings 😂
A brown and black moth flew into the house when hubs opened the door when he came home last night. This morning the moth was in the kitchen and hubs had to help us catch the moth before he went to his shop at 6 a.m. And he caught the butterfly like a pro, with only a plastic bag, and then released the butterfly through the window. But the butterfly flew back into the house as if it missed us! Hubs had to run around the house to catch it again before finally releasing it back to where it belongs 😁
Beautiful sunset today with mist shrouding KL Tower, Twin Towers and The Exchange 106 (tallest building in South East Asia).
This is our cooking queen late yesterday evening, prepping her luxurious breakfast bento box for school the next day (today).
Her luxurious Japanese bento box for breakfast in school today, composed of simmered organic Japanese pumpkin in homemade Dashi, steamed organic tofu with homemade Dashi and egg rolls with avocado. Chopped spring onions are organically grown in organic compost in pots (from onions) in our balcony. All the items in her lunch box are soft as she's still struggling to eat with braces. She's currently in her 3rd week on braces.
Her Dashi was prepped a few days earlier using:
Kombu (dried kelp)
Katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes)
Iriko or niboshi (dried anchovies/sardines) -- she replaced it with homemade anchovies powder
Shiitake (dried shiitake mushrooms)
Dashi gives Japanese food its unique, rich, umami-packed savory flavor. Sherilyn's homemade Dashi smells and tastes like the real deal! So umami!!

Our very simple one pot dinner, my kind of meal as washing is minimal: rainbow fried rice
