For the first few days, I just did some simple cooking such as these...
Broccoli with mushrooms and scallops....
Beans with egg....
There were limited bowls in the house then...
Only two metal plates, one bowl and one big mug...
So my girl ended up eating rice in the big mug!
hahahahaa...
After that day, we bought the whatever is necessary....
A more proper meal was in store....
Since it's just family, I didn't bother to dish out individual bowls for soup...
We do it the "authentic way" ....
This time I did cauliflower with mushrooms and scallops...
Sweet sour prawns....
ABC groundnuts soup....
And peeled oranges done by my girl...
(for the first time in history!)
Thus the photo as proof..
Good job!
Welfie...
Our first proper meal!!
Nothing like homecooked meals...and nothing like all in the family eating down together - no matter how simple, it will turn out to be so very nice, the best!
ReplyDeleteWell said, Arthur!
DeleteNothing can beat mum's homecooked food, simple & yet delicious. Most important is everyone enjoy the food.
ReplyDeleteRight, Irene Tan.. they are "deprived" for a long long time.. hahaha..
DeleteLove all your food.. We grew up with baked beans with egg and abc soup.. Everyone enjoys your food so much, so please cook more and post more :)
ReplyDeleteLouiz, sure boh! hahaha.. then I will post up when I cook.. :)
DeleteNice cooking, dear! Errr..... you're living in JB now??
ReplyDeleteOn and off, Shirley...
Deletei would certainly agree with that.. your two boys have been eating out all the time, and now they have the "Empress Dowager" to stay with them, for sure they would feel like eating something homecooked!! and i would say, the dishes do not need to be fancy, but would definitely taste a lot more delicious than many food they have been having outside.. :)
ReplyDeleteBetter than chap farn, they said.. hahaha..
DeleteI wonder if your sons secretly tell their colleagues: "Yay! we get home cooked meals now because we just imported our maid from Ipoh!"
ReplyDeleteThat's what my colleague kept saying when his mom retire and moved to Penang to live with him.. XD
hehehee... Maid never mind.. not slave sudah! Maid can still rest at night.. *hopefully*
Deletewah....I also want home cooked food. Just had hawker food outside. Kesian...
ReplyDeletehaiyah.. you ah.. i no kasihan....
DeleteYour dishes really look beautiful! I always say that your cooking looks just as good as restaurant food, maybe better! Now, I still don't understand why you are living in two places??
ReplyDeleteYes, cos my hometown is nearly 7 hours away from the place I am staying now...
DeleteSo will see your homecook meal more often?
ReplyDeleteUpon their request... I will.. hahahaa..
DeleteHappy Family Claire. Kung hei fatt choy and happy Chap Goh Mei...ahem ahem....look like your kids no need to go throw mandarin oranges lo ...kihkihkih
