Found another old pic stashed away in Amah’s old albums. Meet my cousin who now has a son that looks exactly like her in this picture.

: : Breakfast + Lunch = Brunch : :

And so brunch it was, on Saturday morning last week with two aunties. Well, brunch at 8:30 a.m. in the morning that is. Thought we’d try out some delicious dimsum at Da Chin Hua but turns out that they didn’t have any that morning. So, we settled for other food instead.

Seaweed soup in the morning to help soften the mee later. Think it was complimentary.

We had some kiaw though. Kiaw is pork dumplings which is extremely delicious. Think it was steamed although the chef mentioned that it was fried. Didn’t seem fried to me.

The kiaw came with some vinegar and chopped cook garlic. Went very well with it.

Ah! The dish was handmade noodles with beef soup. We saw one of the waitresses making it out in front and it was simply delicious. Definitely better than the local ones found around the hawker centers.

We also ordered some char kway teow @ fried kway teow. Believe me, it tasted different than the ones we usually find at hawker centers.

I can’t quite describe the food that we ate here. Everything was tasty and delicious. It’s definitely a real adventure for anyone going to this shop because even though the food looks like normal fare in any restaurant, the taste is very very different. Try it out!

: : Dinner Menu revealed : :

Tried to post this up twice last nite but the PC rebooted itself. Seriously need to do something about the graphics card. Sigh.

The aftermath of a collison of two bodies with a bowl of chicken curry. Luckily, not a lot of it got spilled. Hmmm… still, a bit of a waste of a good curry though.

Popeye food! Well, spinach with salted ikan billis @ anchovies. Tastes really good. That’s how anchovies are eaten here : salted and dried in the sun until it becomes hard and tough.

Midin @ fern stir-fried with chillis and belachan @ prawn paste. All-time favourite for everyone because it’s crunchy, never bitter and slightly sweetish. To me anyways.

Courtesy of Felix’s Mum : Pork Leg stew. Not sure whether she cooked it or bought it. Well, certainly went down well with my uncles. Luv the mushrooms.

Kailan @ Chinese broccoli cooked in oyster sauce. Classic dish, that’s for sure. Although not shown here, it goes extremely well with scallops and black mushrooms.

This was either the peanut soup or the seaweed soup. It look more like the peanut soup to me but I could be wrong. Both were black but equally tasteful. What is a Chinese meal without soup?

That’s it folks. Off to work. And Streamyx came back on. Yay!

: : Memories : :

Found this picture yesterday evening at my late Amah’s house. Took a shot of it. The lanky young boy is my Dad.

Hi Dad.

: : Dinner at Batu Lintang : :

The centerpiece for this particular dinner last weekend at my late Amah’s house was the roasted dishes. All the other dishes were put around the dish. Definitely a traditional Chinese family meal with the vegetables and different varieties of meat shown in here. Would fulfill the requirement for a square meal. The trick is to take a little bit of everything and not to attempt to gulp everything down.

So, recognize any dishes? Brings back loads and loads of memories no? How about guessing the dishes? Drop a little note in the comment line.

How many people was fed during this period? About 20-25 people I think. And, we were all very very full afterwards.
