✿ Labu Merah Masak Lemak ✿

Assalamualaikum..

Sorry for the lack of updates..huhu.. I think writing every day is pretty tough. It can be a challenge to produce great content day after day. It usually doesn’t allow much time to read & comment on other blogs. Bcoz reading other blogs is one of the best ways for me to get inspired to write new, fresh content or to share great recipes. 

One thing we might consider (if you’re not doing it) is to hold back some of the posts that we write, so we can publish them during dry spells. That way, our readers don’t get overwhelmed with lots of content at once. My method is that I will write whenever I’m inspired, take a break from that article for a day or two, revise it, & post it at a later scheduled date.There’s no urgency for me to keep my blog updated either, since it’s only read by a handful of stranger readers..huhu..so sad. But nevermind.

Today I want to share with you all something which I daily experiment about..hahaha..let's check out the dish. A famous Malay style dish, and its Ziqry's favourite! :) A quick version of mine, best served with white rice.
