The Apple Date
263 views
This woman always claimed that she is good in murdering recipes. Somehow, I found the outcome of her culinary work tempting except for the one ‘maggot’ incident {laughing silently here}. Her recent black sausage is a ‘killer’, putting all other black things in this world to shame. 
This morning, as I was rummaging through my fridge, I saw several apples sitting there looking at me sadly. Immediately I thought of her recent apple tong sui. Before I started cooking lunch, I peeled and cut the apples into bite size pieces and washed the red dates. I dumped everything into the pot and let it boil. And then I think and think again if I had missed out on anything. As I was not online then, I could not refer to her post. The ‘cheapskate’ me then resorted to sms her to ask. In an instant she called me back. Claire, I’m so sorry. Next time I’ll call you instead of sending you a text message! {Shy}
She told me to add some rock sugar. No problem…
Bringing it to boil..

Wah! Is there some kind of competition againstthe recipe-killer? Hahahahaha!!! Btw, should not encourage your son to drink using straws – never mind if he makes a mess, he'll learn faster. My missus did that, even blended the food so my daughter could just eat using straws…LONG story!
[Reply]
Ohh…nice dessert.

i saw her black sausage too and tempted to try but i can't get any fish paste as creamy and spreadable. When she served it, it looks like one of those items on a 4 season dish in those chinese gourmet dinners. I think I shall try the apple tong sui first. Looks lot easier
[Reply]
Seems like Ethan really loved it!
[Reply]

[Reply]
