Chickpeas salad with potatoes

Hi my dear readers, long time no see!

Wish everyone has a good day :)

First of all, i have decided to delete my previous post which is a YouTube video. I sincerely apologise to my reader who gave lovely comment on that post. I appreciate the time you have given me to write comment on my post. My readers' comments encouraged me to keep on blogging no matter what. Therefore, i do feel a need to explain my decision to delete the previous post. Since my intention of opening this food blog is to share my humble knowledge on Burmese cuisine as well as Burmese culture with blog readers, the song on this YouTube video doesn't fit into here. Therefore, i have decided to remove it.

Meanwhile, I've also decided to have another blog hey juz blogging to blog in English. That would be my personal blog and would probably blog about anything under the sun =)

I am being too long winded with this post hah? A big THANK YOU for bearing with me :)
