Curry Time
Yep..Back in Melbourne. Back to the old times....having to SUFFER...think of what to eat next. Cooking at home saves more money...and hopefully its healthier! hehhee...
This is authentic Thai Red Curry. Got the curry paste from Volcan (the closest u can get to achieving Ying Thai standard). All u need is to heat the paste in a little oil until fragrant (pls check if your nose is working). Then add preferred meat, then coconut milk, vegies....fish sauce....some lemon grass...and some basil leave/lime leaves!!!! oh and sugar if it gets too salty. VOILA....THAI CURRY.... SA WAI DI KAAAAAAAAAAAA/crap
And as a side dish, I stir fried some eggs with good old chives..and also a bowl of salad with citrus fruit dressing. WOoo Yummy.... Go Cherry tomatoes!!!!!!

Kuih Kuih (malay for cake)
I will load more interesting pics of Hongkie streets...can't seem to find Joe's camera even though its pretty big! Those who attended my graduation should remember the size of it!
In the mean time, let me introduce you to this handsome looking thing. Its BBQed fragrant glutinous rice wrapped in banana leaves (baby shrimp, chicken...etc in its filling). Its a typical Malay 'patisserie'. hehhee.. I love it. The other square white stuff is some sort of jello... should be made with cococut milk if my tongue is correct.

2) A goodie box which contains all sorts of treats for visitors to your house
[ contents: preserved dried fruits, lollies, fish sticks (my fav)...nuts..etc]
[ I hand carried this wooden box all the way from HK for mum ]
3) The Sticky cake (Nien Gao) The one I have here is of a Fish (from HK). Not edible!
The edible kind is round and usually brown. This one is for decor!
4) Money loaded ANG PAOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!

More Hongkie food
Now our daily routine is :
1) Wake up around 8 am
2) Have Annie's breakfast which includes a bowl of birdnest soup cooked in milk
3) Whisked off to Tsim Ta Sui Office by Lau suk suk (uncle Lau) @ 8.45 am
4) 9.15 am...read newspaper...check email....
5) 10.30 am....ready to hit the stores!!!!! Harbour City here I come!!!! DAMN EXPENSIVE...
6) 5.30 pm...Lau suk suk drives us home..
7) 6.30 pm have dinner....(charging up energy for more trips down the hill to Mongkwok)
8) 7.30 pm....Joe and Van already amongst the crazy shoppers
9) 10.00 pm...time for daily dose of Dessert before bed time...(usually 'Tai Fu Fa')
Yeah so u can imagine us...eating all the time. I gave up taking pictures after awhile...cos everyone was staring at us.... as though we're from some weird place...taking pics of food so ordinary to them.
The streets of Mongkwok is PACKED....so many food stalls and the most famous Women's Street (Lui Yan Gai) where u get so much cheap stuff....fake Gucci, Hermes, LV, u name it they've got it! QUality is actually pretty good! Even little Bridal gowns were so cheap...HKD 150 ( ~ AUD 25 !!!!!!). I took this picture to show it to my friend Ruth who's getting married in June.... She should ask Joe's mum to buy it for her!
