A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
When Baby had a slight cough with phlegm recently, I tried to stay her away from cow’s milk. I substituted cow’s milk with soy bean milk. When I was at Mid Valley Megamall, there was a booth just outside Wellness Pharmacy and Jusco supermarket promoting the range of Biogreen organic products. The salesgirl gave us…
There is now a booth at Mid Valley Megamall, just outside Jusco that sells organic health food from Bio Green. And I got these organic biscuits for my girls: Crackers made from soy bean milk and everything organic: This puffed biscuit is really tasty. The ingredients are organic brown rice, quick oat, pearl barley, buckwheat,…
I bought this pack of Super organic instant soy milk powder from Sri Kota the other day. These day, Baby drinks more soy milk than cow’s milk. She also prefers soy milk to cow’s milk. I wonder which has more nutrients and ‘safer’ to drink. Looking at the food label, it looks like formulated milk…
It was a sheer coincidence that we had everything purple for the entire day. First we had reddish/purplish dragon fruits for breakfast. Then, we had purple sweet potato as dessert after lunch. For dinner, we had stir-fried organic purple cabbage. And my girls watched Barney the purple dinosaur too! Before cooking… After cooking. The purple…
Baby seems to tolerate soy bean milk better than cow’s milk. These days, I have stopped feeding her with Pediasure. First, Pediasure is for picky eaters / kids who do not eat well / underweight kids.

I don’t know if anyone would eat such healthy stuff for breakfast: A slice of homemade multi-grain bread, spread with homemade pesto sauce on half the slice and fat-reduced cream cheese + homemade sugar-reduced kaya on the other slice. This healthy stuff is just my kinda breakfast stuff and I honestly prefer eating this to…
I bought this pack of Dr’s Choice fenugreek chocolate mix drink from Jaya Jusco the other day. It’s sugar-free and quite palatable. The pungent taste of fenugreek is not strong and if I wasn’t informed that there’s fenugreek added, I would never have known. It’s best drank chilled, with ice cubes or hot like a…
Cheerios is finally in Malaysia! Nestle Malaysia has introduced its breakfast cereals, Multi Grain Cheerios, to Malaysian consumers. Multi Grain Cheerios is lightly sweetened and has a combination of five nutritious grains — rice, corn, wheat, oats and barley, as well as 10 vitamins and minerals. I bought a pack of Nestle Cheerios on the…
After feeling sluggish, lethargic and listless for the past few days, I started drinking Yomeishu again. During my 3rd confinement, I had received 2 bottles of Yomeishu from friends. I only drank half a bottle and have 1.5 bottles left. I am one who hates drinking alcohol and would get nauseous, turn red like a…
