❝❞

Dear Erin,

We wanted to name you Aleena.
After years of running my blog, independently coming up with the name Erin, being on my own,
I was going to change that for a man.
I was going to name you Aleena.

and now that its over, I don't know what to call you anymore.
You're no longer Erin.
Erin was made when i was younger.
Before i experienced things.
Before i experienced him.

Now i'm bigger. I know more things.
I'm yet to figure out if thats a good thing or not.
But i know for sure that you're neither Erin or Aleena. Not anymore.

❝Dear Erin What I wished I had known earlier❞

Dear Erin,

I wished I had known earlier
that life is not so simple.
There is no black and white
and there is no wrong and right.

When you were younger you were taught to categorize things to good and bad because it was easy to comprehend.
But as you grow, you'll realize that it isn't that straightforward.
Whatever decisions you make is a compilation of many occurrences, circumstances and emotions.

I only wish that you are armored with the wisdom and confidence to decipher through your life choices.
I can't give you a manual as to how to live life, because everyone does it differently.
But I hope that however you do choose to live, you are at peace with yourself and happy.

Living life is a lot about "doing you".
It's a lot about finding out what works best for you, and then, to be confident and convicted enough to doing things your way.

I'm not saying that you can live your life with total carelessness with no regards of your actions.
But, don't be afraid to explore uncharted territories.
Whatever you do, keep seeking knowledge and continue to add value to yourself.

Don't worry about failing.
You need to fail a couple of times in order to know what does not work.
Don't be scared about what you're leaving behind, you only move forward.

Don't look at your past mistakes with guilt.
Look at them with pride, knowing that you have learnt and have became better.

As much as you go on your journey in life, I also hope that you be as kind with people as you wish for them to be with you.
Everyone is learning. No matter their age and stature. Everyone is on a journey.

So Erin,
Go conquer life.
Keep learning. Even if you're reading this at 21, or 38, or 89. Everyday is a lesson to be better.

❝What to eat in Malaysia - PappaRich has 2 new dishes: The Braised Chicken Rice & Mee Bandung!❞

Whether you are visiting Malaysia for the first time, or are a Malaysian, I recommend for you to make your way to PappaRich at least once.

Since 2006, PappaRich has been recreating Malaysian dishes rich in tradition, values and flavors. Many of my friends enjoy going to PappaRich as you can pick from an array of Malaysian delicacies all under one roof. In fact, their 2 new dishes are from Chinese (The Braised chicken) and Malay (The Mee bandung) heritage.

What's a must to do when in PappaRich? Try their famous Stevia White Coffee!

I was invited to be one of the first to try their latest dishes at the PappaRich Scott Garden outlet.

I'll do away with the small talk and get straight into each dish.

1. PappaRich Mee Bandung

Mee bandung originated from Johor, but Papparich has added their own twist to this dish.

PappaRich's Mee Bandung's uniqueness lies in its gravy.

The gravy is created with its own blend of spice and ingredients. It has a very aromatic smell and when eaten together with the noodles, it creates a balance of taste and texture.

How to make any Chinese girl happy: Tasty noodles!

Accompanying the dish are the traditional prawns and hardboiled egg with the addition of fishcakes. Each mouthful with a bit of everything soaked in the gravy is to die for.

2.PappaRich Braised Chicken Rice

The Braised Chicken Rice was the favorite of the two. Best paired with a hot drink for the ultimate homely feel.

Next up, I had a blast from the past. My grandma used to cook the exact dish when I was younger and I loved everything about it.

The PappaRich Braised Chicken Rice is exactly what PappaRich embodies - homemade food reinvented to taste like it just came out from your grandma's kitchen.

This is going to be my favorite dish at PappaRich, apart from their Beef Kway Teow.

This dish is served with the chicken thigh lightly fried and left to braise in delicious chicken gravy before is it served. The rice and Hong Kong Sawi that the dish is served with is also drizzled with the same chicken gravy.

I can't rave enough about this dish. My only qualm was that it wasn't boneless chicken that they used, but to each of their own. This is definitely a must try when you visit PappaRich- a true Chinese homemade dish.

** The Mee Bandung and Braised Chicken Rice is only available in certain PappaRich outlets but will we served nationwide by teh 22nd of May.
