Merry Christmas ~ Dinner @ Home

To celebrate a special event, there is always an options for places to dine. Without any doubt, i've chosen mine....cooking at home!

It's always fun to cook at home especially when cooking with my hubby...its not difficult instead we enjoy our time very much from the food prep till we get it all done!

We started off the day with this brunch~!

Smiley Eggs with baguette, bacon, black pepper sausage,

baby carrots, cherry tomatoes and slice of cheese

with a cup of Kopi O

and then....another round of shopping for food

(missed out a few items on last night shopping haha)

The Ultimate Pairing

it is so smooth to melt in your mouth
