I enjoyed this double combo of roast duck and char siew. The char siew was nicely charred and they served me the fatty parts. Aiyo! So good! Except that there were bits that were a bit hard.
The iced Kopi C helped to cool me down. I was sweating buckets after walking back from Damansara Jaya in the terribly hot sun.
You all must be wondering. This PH suddenly got so much money again to eat like this again. Actually no. I am still on a (tight) budget. I cut down on other expenses.
Now at night my whole house is dark (except for toilet light). I used to switch on many lights. I no longer spend freely on things that I fancy like exotic seasonings and such. No more impulsive buying for sure.
I also cut down on supplements which I deem unnecessary. That way, I can channel (whatever little) money to food.
Even my cats have to go through this austerity drive. Now they only get one wet meal a day and they eat kibble in the evening. They also no longer get those fancy cat treats that I used to indulge them.
Yes, there's a lot of sugar in char siew, otherwise won't get that caramelisation. I've cut out char siew from my diet too.
ReplyDeleteGood for you then! Now I go for siew yoke instead.
