So I ended up with these crispy pork belly bites.
But it may have been a bit too crispy (some parts were dryish).
But so good eaten with sourish, salty kimchi.
My auntie sent me this photo of her trays of freshly baked roti paung. Wah ..... how I miss these mini butter buns from my childhood.
And then she sent me her freshly wrapped dumplings. This is something I never made (and never will). Too much work. Too difficult to wrap. And yes. Too lazy. LOL! Ah .... my auntie's dumplings are the best (in my opinion)!
Girl was enjoying the sun.
Rolling around playfully. She is my darling!
Seeing how you got a scratch from Ah Girl, I usually check the nails of my 2 indoor cats every 2 to 3 weeks. I will trim their nail from time to time. I can only trim the nail of my male cat when I bathe him. So with the help of my mum (she will help to bathe him), I have the chance to trim his nail in the shortest time.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is prudent to trim indoor πΊπ nails.
DeleteOutdoor cats need their nails for survival.
Yaucl : Wow, you are able to bathe your cats. I dare not try because I know I will get scratched. LOL!
DeleteI need my mum to help with bathing the 2 indoor cats. The male cat is scared of water. He goes lembik whenever we bathe him. The female cat is also scared of water. She hides herself whenever I try to catch her for a bath. She screams to her loudest voice in the bathroom. Others might think we torture her :). I can trim the nail of female cat any time with moderate resistance but not the male cat.
DeleteCrisp pork belly bites look delicious. I love ❤️ the cat π as well.
ReplyDeleteYay to cat lovers!
DeleteOne look at the bakchang and you know it's homemade....the wrapping is not as neat as the ones done professionally...lol! But of course homemade ones are more loaded with good "liew". P/S: Yes, I've seen this roti paung made by you (in your blog).
ReplyDeleteI tried wrapping bakchang once and OMG it was a disaster. LOL! Ah, it looks like my roti paung making days are over hah..hah...
DeleteYour Auntie is really superb to be making all these local delights in NZ where the ingredients must be more expensive than what we can get here locally. I am still eyeing your kimchi. Gurl is such a sweetie, happy and carefree with a loving mommy π»
ReplyDeleteMay auntie has a keen interest in making all these traditional kuihs and goodies and she has the talent for it.
DeleteAh girl looks so shiok, enjoying a sun bath and "sun tan". Your furkids have good life with their owner and they in turn reciprocate by being entertaining and fun to be with. Update! Weather over at SG today, not too sunny with cooling wind or perhaps it is because I am indoor, those outdoor may not feel the same. Maybe will have a tea-break later in the late afternoon. Will have dinner when the sun sets and do our second round of grocery shopping in our neighbourhood supermarket. And who says we can only eat bakchang during dumpling festival, now all year round also can eat. Good that you are still keeping in touch with your Auntie in NZL.
ReplyDeletehah..hah... these days bakchang and other foods that were only available during the festivities are now all year round. Weather here is hot hot hot >.< I wish for rain! Hope you had a good tea break and then dinner.
DeleteYour auntie always tempting you with something that you can't really eat, LOL .
ReplyDeleteYa, hor. LOL!
DeleteHomemade bah chang is always the best! I managed to eat four homemade given by two much senior than me... Yes, like you, I don't think I will ever learn.... I did the short cut way, lay the lotus leaf inside the pot and dump the rest of the ingredients inside and let it steam... hahaha..
ReplyDeleteActually your way of making bakchang is very ngam for me. LOL!
DeleteOh btw, your comment did not disappear, those comments after 24 hours will be in my comment moderator page... :)
ReplyDeleteOh, like that! hah..hah... thanks for letting me know.
