very nice to eat

she put it on my table and walking away,

she said “very nice to eat.”

an understatement no less, by the looks and taste of it.

by the sink, washing my favourite bowl and chopsticks,

and within my granny's earshot, i said “very nice to eat.”

yong tau foo

yong tau foo ( also spelled yong tao foo, yong tau fu, or yong tau hu ) is a chinese soup dish with hakka origins commonly found in singapore and malaysia. my granny is born teochew but she speaks fluent cantonese and hokkien. as for me, dialect became a thing of the past when my grandfather passed on. now? my granny and i converse in mandarin. ok, i guess food is food, whatever the origins :P

simply succulent

yums! need i say more...?

those orange bits

those orange bits on the edible white surf board? brightens the eyes. better than any off-the-shelf vitamins. just ask my granny.

mian xian tang

mian xian (vermicelli) tang (soup).
before my lunch turned cold and the strands got bloated,

i took a few quick shots.
cooking is not my forte. for dinner, i bought her mee rebus.

i was never that much into springcleaning. in fact, if i could get everything done at the snap of a finger, i would gladly do so with gusto! well, it happened to be one of those cool mornings where i could pack a little, and maybe mop a little, without giving those perspiration beads a chance to ooze out too much from my pores. i guess i could do with a little carthasis. my room probably thought the same of itself. ah, as if on cue, some red dates to nourish and strengthen right after. my granny knows best.
