MIST
forgot to answer ur que..urm since she 1st x here in sg, i dun think she dare go out alone.

i didnt make it straight to her she CANNOT go out, i gave her keys to keep in case of emergency.. if need to throw rubbish outside wait till we are home or before we leave for wk she can quickly throw. i also told her the WAT IFs.. eg wat if u alone then some men follow u or sneak into the hse if u never lock my door? then point knife at u etc? think she is scared.. then i also said only when ah ma (mil) comes u open door she can go out to sun (beansprouts) for the pillow..but when u are ALONE no need to go sun anything cos its dangerious..since she is here she went down once with me n chloe to get groceries..
 


kaexin,
maybe i should bring EV to visit Keira??

mist,
hahah.. the way u say "why i marry him" sounds so helpless like that! :p

belle,
one trick if you need to thicken the sauce at the end is to sprinkle in some tapioca/corn flour at the end, if you find that it's still too watery.
 
RR,
well, at least she learn that chili padi is way too hot!

autum,
can you let me know the lyrics for the 12345 once i caught a fish alive, thks
 
blurbelle
u really cooking lor ba tonight! whahaa!
the gravy will thicken not bcos of the honey, i guess its becos the Fats of the Pork Belly's "melt" into the sauce..fattening rite? :p:p
thats y pple say if you keep the lor ba till next day, it taste even nicer.

Mist, AUtum
hmm..sound like mr tan not that bad, will ask me to go for movie, but its mostly movies he wants to watch :p
weekends he will ask me wats my plan, sometimes i pek chek and told him why cant he be the one to plan!
 
RR
i replied him already! wow kauz..i want to argue with him but so difficult to express in chinese..sian man..somemore i got A1 in chinese! i know a lot of errors..whahahaa.

嗨

意思就是给错了， 我们也得照收？

而切已经还钱了。。。。
 
Kaexin,
Reyes sings it this way, not sure if it's the right one.

12345, once I caught a fish alive
678910, then I let it go away
Why did you let it go?
Cos it bit my finger so
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on my right, urmm!!
 
Kaexin,
Yup, tat's wat we think so.. But then, another consideration is tat if we go back for a few yrs n come back again for their primary education, by then, my MIL will be even older n needs someone to be by her side.. Hiaz..
 
pink/ autum
tks for the tips. think no need to add liao i just checked wah.. so fast thickens.. i tasted abit n added a bit salt feels its sweet but not enuff salt.. 10 more mins its done :p

do u all put alot of oil inside? i think mine not so much compared to outside ones le.. hv u all tried the west lake kong bak bao? theirs got quite alot oil also..
 
Pinkpink,
aiyah, should ask me to draft the email. I'm good in "quarrelling/arguing" in mandarin, hahaha!!
 
Belle,
I don't add oil when I cook lor bak. The oil will come out from the pork belly, will be very oily if still add oil.
 
thanks for the lyrics, i also remb it was something like tat. k only sang until 678910, then I let it go away. then she said she dunno.
 
RR
u draft for me ...email me..i write back again.

blurbelle
omigod....those kong bak bao has a lot of oil! dun eat so much fats! the pork belly has fats already..so i didnt want to add :p
my MIL's lor ba is prepared 1 day before...next day cook again then eat, add a lot of pork belly to achieve the thickness and oilyness.
 
Belle,
I don't get you. I'll use abit of oil to fry the pork belly & ingredients 1st. The pork belly will emit more oil thus no need to add anymore when you add the sauces and water.
 
kaexin, Irin,
yes the lyrics is correct (should be). :p

Belle,
only put when in the initial part when you are frying the pork and garlic. I think that is what you meant by searing the meat? Just put a bit of oil to fry first. Well, i think there are some people who actually deep-fry the pork pieces first, then they lor. This also can la, but will be more oily than just normal-fry.
 
Autum,
oh ya ya, I've eaten those deep-fried lor bak, it taste nicer cos the fatty part will become abit crispy but vv oily, too oily liao.
 
RR
correct i only use the oil to sear the meat to get that colour then set aside.. when i dump in the spices n sauce no more oil added in :p

oh pink u mention use mirin, i didnt hv so didnt put.. sweet enuff cos i used sugar n honey.. then i saw another recipe asking for blue ginger le. i didnt want to buy specially for this dish so didnt buy cos i duno wat other things i can make out of blue ginger!

ya hor next time i cook one day in advance think will taste better.. same as curry i like overnight curry.
 
autum
i think only chefs in big restn deep fry them cos they hv all the oil they want! they will GUO YOU.. n in super big fire very fast! then dish out hor?

so happy try new dish today... maid ask me wats cooking tom? i gave her the scratch head look hee
 
autum
sinful but its nice! and i mentioned before, we eat for weeks! wahahha!

blurbelle
ya can use either mirin or honey, i used a bit of both. some recipes ask for ginger..but i didnt know thats such a thing called Blue Ginger "curious"

ok my MIL mixed pork belly and chicken meat. nice too.
 
Belle,
ya, then ok lah. Ours will be the healthier version compare to those outside ones. :D

I actually got lots of interesting recipes from the Iweekly 副刊 but didn't have the time and energy to try out. They have soy sauce/rendang chicken, sambal/curry pork, sweet and sour fish & etc ... and the recipes look easy too.

I tried one Mee sua & shimeji mushrooms in pumpkin broth, very nice & suitable for kids.
 
pink
blue ginger is lan jiang i heard b4 but duno wats the uses...saw at SShiong.. alot of 'skin' on the ginger compared to the usual ginger..

chicken is nice? hmm think pork will be better cos of the jellly hor?
 
belle,
my hb will do that when he in the mood! 3 weeks back he cooked kong-bak with yam.. he pound the bean paste first.. then he deep fry all the meat pieces . then put paste/sauce, put yam pieces, then whole thing steam cook using our pressure cooker.. for 45mins! i nearly fainted at all the processes!
 
Talking about blue ginger, I saw this purple onion at NTUC, very exp. I got 1 small one for $1.50 out of curiosity. Till now still sitting in my fridge, bu she de use, don't know to cook in what then won't waste it. hahaha!!
 
autum,
heng, not you who is the one washing up!

pink,
my MIL's SIl cooked very good lor bak! she made so much, can got tuppers to my mil to freeze. then she only need to take out and deep fry
 
blurbelle
i dun know why she add chicken, maybe scared too much pork belly too oily? she cooks a big pot during CNY, keep and eat over 2-3weeks.

kaexin
take out and deep fry? not the gravy type?
 
wooh hoo!! heavy rain at punggol. just bath cos cant stand the stickiness on my body
sad.gif


RR
wah.. i m keen on the rendang, i like dry curry..last time my aunt make pork rib curry, the sauce is dry type nice! u try n let me know if nice only thing is chloe cant eat :p wat is this mushroom u are referring to?

pink

Autum

i can only think of steaming it with meat.. how to make those version with sauce like wat we see in cap cai stalls? need oyster sauce type..
think can dice chicken thighs n cook ? hmmm..
 
 
kaexin
this one looks like ngor hiang.. is it another version of lor bak? while i was surfing the chinese style version i saw these too...
 
kaexin, blurbelle

more like ngor hiang! wahhaa...confused!

blurbelle
err..i dun know how my mil kept lah, but so far we ate already no diarrhea.
 
pink,
sorry, just realised the confusion. coz ngoh hiong is called lor bak in penang. i have been calling lor bak for donkey years!
 
wohaaha... kaexin so woo long... she must be thinking why these ppl talk abt stewing for hours with gravy and pork belly n all!! =S
 
irin
purple onion? i oni tried black garlic! heh... how abt baking it n eatting the 'original' taste? like frying it abit wasted leh.

belle

joelle

mist
ur boss lady or man? it depends on how ur boss work/ appraise u.
i'm vv objective one. my admin clerk has 5 girls and stay in JB. she takes leave as n when she like, come in late, go off early. BUT i dun factor those into consideration when i do her appraisal. if she does her work properly, i won't complain.
at my ofc at least, i know the most impt is my deliverables, nt how many kids i hv etc etc.
 
irin
i hv the same problem w M. he screams at the slight hint of hotness in his food, EVEN PEPPER! Jo is ok. she takes anythg. the most is drink lots of water and complain LA4.
 


pink
as long as no fever, shld be able to jab tmr...
the phlegm will take a while to go away. if u notice, her stool will be a little slimey.. :p

yvonne
all ok, thk goodness. AYE jam n raining. a lot of drivers use shoulder lane to drive thru the jam, so damn dangerous....
