Home Sweet Home
These are the reasons why sometimes I’ll rather stay at home than going out with friends during the weekend:
Crayfish with Chilli
Mei Cai Kou Rou
Glutinous Rice
Home-cooked food is the best food in the world, especially when I knew that my parents had been preparing these food for tonight’s dinner since Friday night. My Dad was the main chef, my mum was the “menu-planner”, while the rest of my extended family and I were just there to help to finish all the food.
These food may not be the most delicious ones that you can find, but each dish has been meticulously and painstakingly prepared. Everything is home-made, from the fried onions to the chilli. My mum had soaked the “mei cai” many times so that the final dish will not be too salty. She had started cooking the “mei cai kou rou” since last night so that the dish will have a stronger and tastier flavour today. The crayfish were fresh from the market, as my parents had to wake up earlier than usual to go get them.
Always, it’s the thoughts and efforts that enabled the best food in the world to be prepared.
To my parents: Thanks for those lovely food!
