That’s what I have to do whenever I want to cook up a storm, even if it’s just for my little humble family, which really means just cooking for the Hubs and myself since the girls don’t usually eat what we do. For your information, I am a chilli girl. What to do? The Indian blood lurks deep. On average, I have my fix of extra spicy chilli padi – only about 10 a day. I eat it at every meal. I even eat it with pasta.

This is one of my rare cooking sessions of 4 dishes. Usually, I only have time for 1, 2 or 3 dishes at most, of which one would be a soup. But before you commend me for this, I will openly admit that a lot of the hard work from these dishes really came from my Mama. She does all the hard work for me. I only throw in her hard work with the meat and voila!

One of my all time favourite dishes. Mom really makes the BEST chilli for this. With fresh prawns? Freaking AWESOME.

Sambal Prawn Petai – it’s really hard finding good petai these days……thus we only cook it when Tok-Tok drives home from Ipoh or Kuala Kangsar.

The necessary silver pomfret…….for the kids. The Hubs always complains how I can never slice ginger super fine like in the restaurants. I tell him I am Portuguese! We are only good for drama and acting! If he wanted a wife who could slice fine ginger, he should have gone to Shanghai! Blek.

Brinjal/aubergine/eggplant is one of my favourite dishes too. I grew up with this Filipino dish as we used to have a Filipino maid who’d steam the brinjal and pour freshly pounded chillies over it. YUMZ!!!

So are you impressed?

Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.

Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.

She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.

A beautiful life without limits.

If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.

Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.

Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
