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!

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...

Can Non-Office Workers Burn Out Too?

 When we hear the word burnout, most of us picture someone in a corporate job, stuck in traffic every morning, glued to a screen all day, drowning in emails, meetings and work desk from 9 to 5. Sounds familiar, right? But here’s the thing. Burnout doesn’t care whether you’re in a fancy office or out in the field. In fact, people who don’t work in traditional office settings often face a different kind of pressure such as physical strain, unpredictable hours, emotional labour, or unstable income, and that can burn you out just as fast, if not faster. So let’s talk about other fields of work burnout, the kind that hits NGO field workers, delivery riders, retail staff, event crews, and freelancers. Because their stories relatable too. 1. NGO Field Officer  Lina has been working with a local humanitarian NGO for the past three years. Her role mainly involves community outreach in rural and underserved areas, Orang Asli villages, flood-affected zones, and low-income flats around Kl...

Bundle culture in Malaysia

  Bundle culture revolves around buying second-hand clothes and items from thrift stores, often referred to as bundle shops or bundle stores. Popular examples are 2nd STREET and JBR Bundle, both offering a wide variety of second-hand items. Many Malaysians, especially students and young adults, opt for bundle clothing because it offers fashionable items at a much lower price. These shops often offer a mix of vintage styles, which reflect classic or retro designs, and modern fashion that showcases trendy and contemporary looks. This diversity also allows shoppers to discover unique pieces that are not typically found in regular retail stores, adding a personal touch to their individual style. Exploring bundle stores offers a sense of adventure, much like treasure hunting. Finding a rare or perfectly fitting item on the racks can be incredibly satisfying and makes the whole shopping trip even more exciting. Bundle shops are more than just stores as they become community hubs where pe...
