Martabak Telur Jamur (Translation: Mushroom and Egg Square Spring Roll?)


This is another favourite of mine. Traditionally made with minced beef, I substituted beef with mushroom and the taste work really well.



(Serves 4 – or 2 if you’re really hungry J)
What you need:
2 large mushrooms, diced into small cubes
1 onion, finely diced
a few spring onion
spring roll sheet
2 Eggs
Oil

What to do:
  1. Heat a bit of oil in pan and sauté onion until translucent and fragrant. Remove from heat.
  2. Combine diced mushroom, spring onion, 2 eggs and onion.
  3. Heat oil for frying. (I don’t usually put too much oil, just enough to fry one side)
  4. Layout the spring roll sheet (I usually use 2 layers for each), place the egg mixture in the middle of the sheet and fold it into squares.
  5. Fry them on one side until golden brown and then flip to fry the other side.
  6. Place on absorbing kitchen paper before serving.
  7. Cut into little squares and serve.

Embrace Kid Silk Luxurious Wrap


I bought this DROPS Kid Silk yarns by mistake.
It’s a fortunate mistake indeed, just look at this beautiful shade of purple. J

I remembered I knitted this gorgeous wrap for a friend and I really like the pattern, check out this free pattern from Garnstudio, so I knitted a scaled down version of it using this Kid Silk yarn.

The lace leaves pattern is just beautiful, and so addictive once you get the hang of it!
Available for purchase in my MadeIt store.








Personally, I like this wrap a little bit narrow, so I adjusted the pattern to reduce 1 repetition of the lace leaves. (Cast on 93 stitches instead of 107)

Seawave Girl Tank Top


This beautiful tank top is knitted in sea wave pattern that I found in one of my knitting pattern bible. 

I used remaining DROPS Safran yarn from the Safran and Peliza dress (link) and knitted up this gorgeous top for a little girl.

It’s effortless to combine the colour of these yarns because they’re so wonderful and vibrant.
