#菜饭
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…
Mum’s pack of Economy Rice(菜饭) from Chong Pang. She only picked two dishes of sweet & sour pork and sautéed bok choy. For me, she chose the same sweet & sour pork dish with a steamed fish fillet drizzled with shallot oil over white rice.
Mum usually buys a bowl of these plump and succulent Pork & Shrimp Dumplings Soup(水饺汤) on the way back from her marketing trip to Chong Pang. In addition to the former, I also had a pack of Economy Rice(菜饭) with a large piece of fried pork chop, stewed preserved Chinese mustard & pork (梅菜扣肉) with peanuts and a serving of stir-fried bitter gourd with rice.
Mum’s dinner is Silky Egg Hor Fun (滑蛋河粉) from the Tze Char (煮炒) stall. This dish uses the broad flat rice noodles or kway teow (粿條) to better soak up the thickened gravy.
Both sis and I opted for the Economy Rice(菜饭). Sis had the sweet & sour pork with kung pao chicken while I had stewed potato, stewed fried egg tofu and stir-fried boneless chicken with gingers.
Brunch came with curry chicken, stir-fried cabbage and stewed preserved Chinese mustard & pork (梅菜扣肉) over a bed of steamed white rice.
Bought these packs of Takeaway Dinner from the coffee shop across the street. The first box had stewed brinjal, stir-fried lady’s fingers and deep-fried pork slices in dark soya sauce reduction. The last pack had stir-fried bitter gourds, a side of stewed fried egg tofu and black pepper pork chops over white rice.
A healthier choice of dishes with velvety soft steamed egg custard, steamed fish fillet with a drizzle of garlic oil and stir-fried long beans (yardlong bean) for Lunch. On a recent medical appointment, my dietitian told me I had to reduce my proteins intake by cutting that piece of fish (or meat) you seen above by half and replace it with more vegetables. :( I like to think more of myself as an omnivore, occasionally turned carnivore. :D But I never once think I should become a rabbit herbivore (vegetarian). To continue eating that portion of proteins, I now exercise regularly and after one month, I managed to reduce my weight by 2kg.
