That’s right! The Kooky Jar is open for business! We consist of two sections: Food and Design. Do check out the Food section to see the latest Mother’s Day promotion and other goodies that we have to offer. The Design section will bring you back here, which is the hub of creativity.
But whatever it is you need from us, we serve with a Dash of Love.
Enjoy your stay. =)
“No, I’m not going to make in bulks just for the sake of it. I want to make sure that every batch of cookies gets its fair amount of quality ingredients.”
I overheard mom’s conversation over the phone the other day. When I suggested the first time that mom should sell her cookies, she laughed out loud and said, “With the ingredients that I use? I’m going to make a huge loss!” Not only her, but everyone else who have tasted her cookies said the same thing. For a second or two, even I was convinced.
Who was I kidding? In one small cookie, barely taking the diameter of a 20 cents coin, packs a lip-smacking combination of coffee, cocoa, chocolate and white chocolate chips! Sometimes I follow mom to get her ingredients, and I kid you not, they’re not from the ordinary el-cheapo suppliers. It was through this that I learned the difference between SCS butter and other ordinary ones. Presenting.. her Mocha Cup Cookies.
I’m no baker, mom’s the genius. But my taste buds may be biased – so we bugged friends and neighbors, even gave them evaluation forms to fill! I’m not sure how many of them have expanded waistlines now, thanks to mom’s delicious goodies! Such as the not-so ordinary Cornflakes almond cookies.
“Is this femes amos? No wait, this tastes better!”
Or the Chocolate Chunks, yes, CHUNKS, not chips – Chunky Chocolate Cookies. I don’t take much chocolate but this is to-die for. That quote up there? Not from one person. From every single one who has tried it. How else would I boldly put that statement?
“Tell your mom that she can come up with all kinds of varieties, but keep her signature cookies baking all year round.”
Do I hear it? Do I hear it? The Bailey’s Cranberries Oats Cookies! Yes, you heard that right. BAILEYS. Baileys with cranberries and rolled oats. My personal favourite. The chewy texture from the rolled oats and cranberries is a perfect match as every single bit is evident in the mouth… (goes outside to grab some) …
Not a fan of sweet stuff? No problem! The Savoury Cheese Hearts packs just as much delicious goodness! I was taken aback by its taste at first, as I am not used to savoury cookies – so did my cousins who came by. They couldn’t stop snacking after that.
This is a big reveal on what The Kooky Jar is about. The official website will see its completion really soon, some time this week so stay tuned. Meanwhile, if you want to have a bite on one or two or three or all of these delicious goodies, especially now that Chinese New Year is just around the corner, drop me an email with your orders and we’ll respond as soon as possible. Here is the price list:
Each priced at RM15 per bottle, about 35 pieces each;
And the Savoury Cheese Hearts go for RM22 per bottle. =)

So, what’s new?
After three and a half years of studying, I have an eight-month industrial internship program to undergo. I have just finished the third week, but many things have happened since then. Not just work, but life-changing experiences that either make you cringe or laugh each time you think about it. I now type in a small cozy corner of my own room, in the comforts of my own home on that little island.
The Kooky Jar, as many may think, was not meant to be a blog. It was supposed to be something else, something more contributive, of more use. It was a plan that never saw the end of planning, neither the beginning of execution.
Now that I have time, and maybe with a little bit more of everything else, I think it’s time to put things in motion.
We’re still working on the site, in the meantime you can catch its updates here and other musings, photography – anything that time allows me to come up with will be posted here. In short, this is my new blog. The Kooky Jar is meant for something bigger.
Something bigger, like what?
This is only Part One. More will be revealed in upcoming entries.
Expect more personal insights and musings here, as I go deeper into design experiments, and possibly an online portfolio somewhere in the near future. Unlike the previous blogs I had, I have finally established my own personal space for what it is. It’s like finally buying your own property and calling it home.
Bienvenue!
