Cincai Char Also Nice

There was once when my late grandma was taken to dine at a newly opened restaurant in Kuala Terengganu. The food apparently was not to grandma's standards.

So she remarked to my mum that " ti choo nan lamchoo lar pun ho chiak" loosely translated as "at home, we simply stir and yet the food comes out tasty".

Well, I'll have to agree with grandma whenever I go to places that don't get it right. What were they thinking? Just a few days ago before the new year, this place that I wrote about previously suffered this fate :

So back to the kitchen. Where I found some French beans and had them stir fried with lap cheong and eggs. This one is grandma approved I am sure.

Then the other day I found a container of rice in the freezer. It's from last year wahahaha... so I took it out and simply kacau in my non-stick pan after I pan fried a marinated pork collar.

And of course not forgetting simply roasting stuff in your own oven. Grandma never used an oven and therefore was never acquainted with roasted broccoli. But I doubt if she would like it because grandma was a bit subversive, she did not like veggies. Hah!

I miss my grandma and her very cute quips.
