Malaysia is one of those naturally amazing countries in South East Asia that has so much to offer. Sandy white beaches of Langkawi, the incredible hustle and bustle and tons of shopping in Kuala Lumpur, to Penang with all its mouthwatering food offerings.

BBC's Back In Time For Tea has me glued to the TV when a new episode comes on and I can honestly say it's really changed the way I think about the way we live our modern lives compared to the hardship of just being about to buy food and keep warm over the last century. If you haven't watched it, I highly recommend it.

I am very thankful that I have never experienced such a catastrophe at home, but ever since buying our own home, G and I are always mindful on how to prevent potential accidents at home, including making it a smart home so that we can keep track of things even if we are not at home physically.

If you're ever unfortunate enough to experience burst pipes at home, here is a guide on what to do in the event of a plumbing emergency.

After hearing about the unlimited £30 brunch at Devonshire Club on a Sundays from my foodie friend, I knew I had to visit at some point.

Mykonos in Greece is well known for it's beautifully pristine beaches and has repeatedly been voted as a top summer holiday destination. It has been a hotspot for A-lists and celebrities since the 1960's thanks to its dreamy luxury villas, expensive yachts, award-winning restaurants and of course the legendary party scene.

I love eggettes.

When eggettes exploded all across London, my belly also exploded with delight. These awesome street food treasures from Hong Kong have finally found fame on the this side of the pond and as far as I could tell, everyone on social media were raving about them. And rightly so.

It’s hard to find a decent tofu-fa that is silky smooth, melts on your tongue with a rich soya taste. This is how my mum used to make it and I really do miss it. Too often, I've had tofu-fa that is either rough in texture, or the soya bean taste is too weak, like it’s been watered down, or they’ve used gelatine instead of coagulant and it tastes more like a jelly than a soft pudding.

This Chinese tomato pork mince with veg on udon was cooked by G. Not me, but G.

G rarely cooks and on the occasions that he does, it's usually because I'm away from home and he has to fend for himself. It's not like he can't cook though because he's made decent meals before, like an impressive cheat's katsu curry (using ready made breadcrumbed turkey and Japanese curry blocks) and a less impressive pasta with pesto, tuna and broccoli.

When I was growing up, my mum learnt how to make soya milk, tofu and tofu fa (a sweet tofu pudding) from a friend. To get better at it, she made a massive batch once a week and whilst most of it was given to friends, my siblings and I were forced to eat and drink the rest. I say forced, because it got very boring week after week, yet my mum wouldn’t give up her new hobby.

Soya sauce. I had always been familiar with two: Chinese light soya sauce and Chinese dark soya sauce. Occasionally at dim sum, or eating at a Chinese restaurant, I would get to eat a delicious sweet soya sauce, usually added to roast meats and cheung fun (steamed rice rolls). I remember my dad explaining to me as a child, that it was made by cooking dark soya with water and adding sugar.
