#minced pork
Mum’s home-cooked Spicy Chicken with Caramelized Onions and stir-fry hairy gourd (Benincasa hispidavar.chieh-qua) or 毛瓜 in Mandarin. The matchsticks sized hairy gourd is cooked with minced pork and prawns to give it sweetness.
After dinner snack of Durians though I can’t remembered what varieties they belonged to. The king of fruits is creamy and sweet, just the way my mum like it.
From the hole in the wall economy rice stall in Chong Pang Food Centre, came this pack of Cai Png(菜饭). I always love their gorgeous and delicious fried chicken drumstick which is still warm and crispy. Also in the box are earthy stewed mushrooms and an over easy egg.
Mum frequently buy the Pork & Shrimp Dumpling SoupfromChoo Chiang Roasted Meat Noodle House(珠江烧腊面家). I love sinking my teeth into the firm and plump dumplings filled with seasoned minced pork and crunchy shrimps. Yum, so satisfying…
CookedGarlic Chives(Allium tuberosum) or 青龙菜 as it is known here is good on its own but better when paired with bean sprouts. To enhance the flavours, mum added minced pork and squids to it.
For the Singapore Style Curry Chicken, sis used three or four medium sized whole chicken legs. She chose waxy potatoes as they keep their shape better and not disintegrate into the gravy during the cooking process.
