ER and I were on our way to Mustafa Centre, located at Syed Alwi Road, to buy some essential baking ingredients. It is also a place we like to be whenever we need Indian spices.

Interestingly, today we also picked up a packet of rice flakes after asking a young Indian lady shopper there about its uses. When she was approached, the first thing she asked me was: Do you use Indian spices? On hearing an affirmative reply from me, she then carried on with our conversation. She told me to rinse them in running tap water, set aside for a while and then used them with stir-fried vegetable dish flavoured with Indian spices.
