Yum Cha

Aunty Ho came and got dad and I and took us to Yum Cha.  I swear, all we do is either eat or go to the markets to buy food to prepare to eat!

At night, Jeff came and got dad to go for Fish Head soup.  I decided not to go and Ray and I stayed in and watched a movie.

Q Nyuk -MMMMMM yummo!

Today was a big day,

We went to Aunty Hap's place to learn how to cook Q Nyuk.  Arriving at 11am we started.......Aunty too me home at 4pm and dad came back around 6pm.

Rev Nui picked us up at 730pm to have dinner at Aunty Ho's place. There are loads of pictures but I will have to wait until I am able to find an SD slot to upload them.  I cannot find one on this computer I am using.

At Aunty Ho's we had the Q Nyuk, Tofu and pork stirfry, Sweet Potato shoots and Ben's fish!   What a great meal!

YUMMO!

Ben the fish was AWESOME!

Photos will come have now been attached!

:-)

BIG STORMS!

Massive thunder and lightning storms happened and no our internet link to the world is broken. :-(

In the wee hours on the morning I could hear thunder far away............but then the next minute there was a HUGE clap of thunder followed immediately by lightning made me jump out of bed and a car alarm was triggered in the street.

Needless to say that was a BIG storm!

And now we have had no internet since then.

So I am now updating my blog from memory at Aunty Ho's house.

Not many photos though, but only cos I that would now take too long.

Cheers

This is for Uncle Chris - just to ensure he knows how good our Kaya Jam is!

Satay!

YUM!

The pictures tell it all:

Starting to cook the satay

Helping cook the satay

Enjoying the satay.

Yau Char Kwai

Thanks to Aunty Ho, after we left lunch we drove past the place that Ben and Yong suggested would still cook the Yau Char Kwai and Kaya Jam.  We stopped because it was around the time that they may have it and Aunty Ho ran in and got some!

Woohoo!

The infamous Yau Char Kwai

My bau man who makes the best bau in Tawau.

We then went back to Aunty Ho's sister's place and she taught us how to make Kaya Jam.  Was talking to Uncle Chris and was such a coincidence that while we had started to prepare the kitchen to make the jam, Uncle Chris asked me to get dad to ask around to anyone who knows how to make Kaya Jam!!!  He was jealous when he found out about my  Yau Char Kwai so I had to tell him also about the fact that we were just about to learn how to make the Kaya Jam!

So easy now that I know how to do it.  We are bringing some home, and Uncle Chris can have the little jar.
LOL

Following are some pictures from our cooking lesson:

The Coconut Cream

The egg and sugar mix

Nearly ready (the green are pandan leaves)

YUM!  Dad enjoying the rest of the Yau Char Kwai and warm , 'just made' kaya jam.

A little bit for Uncle Chris

Bottling it for us

WHAT A GREAT DAY!

Divide by 3

Aunty Ho has been paying for a couple of our lunches, arguing that it is very cheap.  Dad retorts with, "Yes, bt for us, we divide by 3 and are even cheaper!"

We had Bau for Breakfast this morning and we bought some more for tomorrow morning's breakfast.  YUMMY!

Dad and I have been doing 25-30 minutes on the treadmill each morning and this afternoon, we walked a total of 3-4 km to the shops and back to recharge our sim cards.  That is to combat all this good food we are eating!!
