auntie mEow
Thursday, July 17, 2008


mEow is an official auntie today.

auntie mEow: the housewifehouse-Cat.

Morning 10am wake up,unhappily..cos gt bad dreams again. darn, shld have woke earlier, den mayb wont dream those dreams..

I rushed to market and buy the ingredients for today. Yep, today, really gonna cook.

So,auntie picture no.1


Ever wonder why auntie like to put their plastic bag likdat? Cos, actually, its the most, easiest. Cos, if u hold on the hand, the plastic will cut into the hand, so, carrying it likdat, most auntie, but most convenient.

Bought an apron. So i dun dirty my cute pink shirt. :D

Auntie pic no. 2 & 3




doing the Karen-thing the auntie way.
*ahem* why is my apron... :x erh..1buck only.. wad u expect?

Today's menu
1) 猪脚醋
2) 麻油鸡
3) 蚝油炒小小白菜
4) 魚翅瓜汤




huh?wad wad小小白菜 ? well, its mini-小白菜 thus the name.

猪脚醋
First time cooking by myself . Previously, seen his mum cook before, tis time round, mEow the auntie is gonna try it all by herself. :D

Looks decent bah..for . Took a few hrs to cook it. Cos needa stew for a long time. The sauce was ok..but the failure part..the meat... the pork seller chop into too small..upon boiling with the super almighty- AMC pot, all the meat...dissolved..and instead of 猪脚醋,I'm left with 肉丁 when everyone's ready to eat...so, quickly remedy by adding in some chicken feet, my mum's fave in and cook again..taste quite good too... 鸡脚醋。。。ok. lol bah~


Still...I m pleased that my mum commented that the taste is better than the 猪脚醋sold downstairs. :D

So, I rate it, Success!

The rest of the dish, quite easy..nothin to say much.

Let me intro my fave knife:



mini chopper. Cute rite? :D
But its very sharp ok!

The vege:


the chicken:


The 魚翅瓜汤

Wads this? Why such a weird name?
Well, u see, when its cooked, it looks like this:


Suposedly, its to look lik 鱼翅。 Thus, the name.

Why I lik this soup?

Wads this?

This is the seeds. Of the melon. The close to 100 seeds that one must remove from the melon before it is cooked. Cos the seed is nt to be eaten.

Thus, as u can see, the massive amt of work involved in cooking, compared to the rest of the soup. So, this is rarely cooked outside. Rather, I've never found a place selling this. And I bet some 90% of u nv hear of it before,much less, eaten tis before... :D

No one wld spend such effort jus to sell the soup at 4bucks? So, tis is a dish that is homecooked then,get to eat it.

I love it. Cos first time I eat is at my grandma hse. It tasted heavenly. I wanted to drink again, bt my mum dun like the hassle. So, if I wanna eat, I must cook it myself. And so, whenever I get to cook soup, this, is on the first of my list. It's one of my 拿手好菜。And, no salt no msg!

Actually, all my dishes no use salt n msg at all..see so healthy...=)

So, while auntie mEow is busy cooking, wad are my kitties up to?

Mewmew is busy in the kitchen as my assistant..



* i will clear the food yep!*

Maomao monitors me, while I m resting while letting my food stew.
