What should you do if you have leftover bananas? Pengat Pisang in an instant!

 Ingredients


250 ml Water 

Gula Melaka (palm sugar) - I use 3 mini cylinders

Pinch of Salt  

2 pandan leaves 

3 to 4 ripe bananas

200 ml coconut milk 

There was some leftover bananas in the kitchen. I did not want to throw it away.. Sayang..So I just checked whatever fixings that I had at that time.

Since it was an unplanned pengat pisang in the making, I just used whatever ingredients in my kitchen. 

I don’t usually cook. So most of the time, I follow my lady instinct with the ingredients.

Firstly, cut the ripe bananas into wedges or small chunks. Then with a water in the pot, I put gula melaka and pandan leaves together until the mix was boiled.

I did not have sago at the time. If you do, you can put it in some. Perhaps 1 spoon, depending on your liking.

Once boiled, I poured the coconut milk and stir it for a while, then I put the bananas. I then put some salt. 

If you find your pengat pisang did not taste sweet, you may add sugar a bit.

You will find your pengat pisang gravy a bit thicken while stirring, that is a sign that your pengat pisang is finally cooked. 


One thing about me, I like to sum up my steps of cooking like below formula. To me it will look easy and simple. 

I just follow my instinct with the time, play with the texture with ‘look and feel’ approach while cooking. It is just a psychological thing for me; p

Simple formula for a noobie :)

Water + pandan leaves + gula melaka = cook till boiled.

Then add,

Coconut milk(santan) + bananas + salt  = pengat pisang!

The Role of Writing in Cultivating Emotional Intelligence and Empathy

As we go through life and deal with all sorts of emotions, writing can be a really helpful way to pause and reflect. Putting things down on paper helps us make sense of how we’re feeling. That’s why in psychology, they always advise to engage in regular journaling or reflective writing, as it can help us process emotions, gain clarity, and develop a greater understanding of our thoughts and behaviours and invites individuals to explore their feelings without judgment. Journaling can serve as a personal outlet, allowing someone to vent about a tough day and process their emotions. Writing is more than just a way to express thoughts or share ideas. Whether it’s journaling, blogging, or even crafting a social media post, writing allows us to connect with ourselves and others on a deeper level. Writing is a great way to understand and manage on our feelings and share them, making it easier for us to express ourselves and connect with others. Blogging creates a sense of community, where wri...

Nagomi Art : Hope and Healing

 I decided to try a Nagomi Art session just out of curiosity. Honestly, I’m not great with art, drawing, or even picking colours. But since I had some free time and the workshop was free, I thought, why not? After the class, I got curious and started digging into its history. Here's what I found: Norikatsu Hosoya, the founder of Nagomi Art, was inspired by a deeply personal experience involving a close friend who was seriously ill. During his friend's hospitalization, Hosoya created a pastel artwork of cherry blossoms to lift his friend’s spirits. He accompanied the gift with an invitation to see real cherry blossoms together once his friend recovered.  The gesture of hope and healing left a profound impact when they eventually fulfilled this promise. This episode opened Hosoya's eyes to the potential of art as a tool for emotional healing and a source of optimism, which later became a cornerstone of the philosophy behind Nagomi Art. 7 Facts about Nagomi Art 1. Origins: N...

Decathlon giving back to community

 I recently attended a free Zumba class at the Decathlon PJ branch, which is part of their regular weekly activities that include Zumba, yoga, and more. These activities are often offered at a minimal fee, with occasional free classes for the community, perhaps once a month. The atmosphere was lively, with families playing ping pong and children riding small bikes within the venue, adding to the sense of community. This initiative by Decathlon is a fantastic example of how a business can give back to local residents while promoting a healthy and active lifestyle. I haven’t seen other sports retailers in Malaysia adopt a similar approach. While Decathlon remains a business, they’ve successfully integrated CSR activities by fostering a sports culture through the free or affordable use of their facilities, like badminton, basketball, and futsal courts in selected branches, including those in Selangor, Johor Bahru, and Penang. Classes like Zumba, Pound, and Yoga/Pilates are also availa...
