My siblings and I had a very scrumptious dinner at my mother's place... she is very "terror" one, terror in my English sense is "Power Cook"... she can cope up and cook these dishes at one go.. fast and swift... nice and yummylicious dishes....so these were what we had this evening...
Steamed "Village" Chicken....
Marinated Vinegar Cucumber....
Two types of vegetables.. broccoli and cauliflower...
Fish Maw soup!
And what is that she is holding?
Yes, Trotters in Black Vinegar!!
My favourite too! Now I can feel my face having some "burning sensation"............
Simple... Complicated... Appetizing... Yummylicious...
Come Let's Wallop....
Last and not least....
Odd Shapes Tong Yuen!
My Do Re Mi are not home yet... Yes, I know the three of you like to drink the syrup and eat
these rice flour balls... Not to worry, your grandma has saved a packet
in the fridge, when the three of you come back, we will do them again!
Whatever shapes you all want to....
Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
It is xmas soon! Perhaps you can enjoy turkey, tang yuen with your kids? :p

DeleteHappy Winter Solstice to you and your family!!! =]
ReplyDeleteSame to you, girl! Thank you.
Deletewow, such a nice family gathering. We didn't have any get together as my mum was at her house and we had to work too.
ReplyDeleteYeah, at this time, I can understand how work is in the shop. :)
Deletewah, indeed a very scrumptious feast woh!! your mom was "terror" and you all also very "terror" to wallop everything mah, haha.. nice lor, i love the fish maw soup the most.. and who did those glutinous rice balls?? i saw two which were square indeed.. :p
ReplyDeleteThose rice balls are prepared by the younger generation... all making odd shapes out of them..
DeleteI love that trotters in black vinegar! Yumz~
ReplyDeleteHappy Winter Solstice Claire.
Thank you... hope you enjoyed yourself too!
DeleteI admire your mother very much! I cannot even cook two things at the same time or one burns.
ReplyDeleteGinny, not to worry, I am in your group too!
DeleteHello Claire,
ReplyDeleteYour mother is really a great cook as she can make so many dishes in a short time.
Your children must be also missing you and their grandmother too on this festive day.
Happy Winter Solstice to you and your family!
Same to you, Mun! Hope you had a good time with your family too!!
DeleteDouble thumbs up for your mum's cooking! Hers has that mum-cooked look. Too bad my mum can no longer cook for a long time now. Bet she misses that a lot...and misses seeing the family enjoying what she dished out, licking the plates clean. None of your kids home? Hope they'll be home with Christmas - would be so sad and lonely without them...or you'll be going over to Singapore or Penang again?
ReplyDeleteNo, they will be coming back soon!! Really missing them a lot especially during festive time! Yes, mom can still cope up with the food... we can cope up with the washing! hahaha..
DeleteMum's cooking is always the best. Love what your mum cooked. I am drooling.
ReplyDeleteDidnt make and eat tang yuan this year. Lazy. ;)
Yay! Soon your do re mi is coming home.
Yes!! Waiting for them impatiently! hahaha...
DeleteThe chicken looks good! I wonder if you all made the ginger/scallion dip to go with the chicken :D
ReplyDeleteYes, my mom blended her own chillies and add in some dash of lime.. sedap!
DeleteEverything looks so good! :)
ReplyDeleteI can eat 3 plates of rice just based on the chicken and/or the trotters alone!
You are still at the growing age phrase ma.. so surely can eat more.. hahaha..
DeleteYUmmm..so many delicious homemade foods. Mom is the best chef ever!
