Tom Yum Fried Rice

I'm I love anything that had Tom Yum in it. Normally I bought those ready make type from the Thai Supermarket but decided to make my own to suit my taste. Those bought type contains MSG and every time I  will drink lot's of water as the msg makes me feeling thirsty all the time. 

For today, I have decided to cook the Tom Yum Fried Rice. This is something that I wanted to cook but always put on hold. It was really spicy but I liked it. 
Best to go with a glass of lime juice.

Killer Toast

I have a date with loaves today. 

Bake 2 different variants - one which is plain and the other one the colourful one. Decide to keep the colourful version for my tea break with ice cream and for my morning breakfast, I am having it with butter and kaya. 


Love these colours  combination. 


The top layer is not shiny as I forgot to prepare egg wash but it still had its naked feel.
