Today, the first time I cook at dish at home (with some help). Reminds me, cooking’s not only what you throw into the wok and dance over the fire. Its planning the dishes (steal some secret recipes), shopping for ingredients (”marketing”?), preparing the ingredients (wash, clean) and utensils, cooking, serving, clean up. I was a horrible student in my Home Economics class, but I covered up by my partner, a top student who didnt complained much (thanks jansy).
The dish I cooked? Char Kway Teow, “fried flat noodles”, ç‚’æžœæ?¡ is my favorite dish, also among Singaporeans, Malaysians, and maybe south-east Asians. Its nice, aromatic, but maybe not so healthy in the long run (oil!). As for links and recipes, wiki, Singaporean, Malaysia, Vitnamese recipe. I spent about $6 for more than 6 plates of serving. Its said that it used to be a cheap labourer’s dish. Nows its a delicacy with many different ingredients added.
My brother told me Pizzas was the food the poor could afford in Italy. My campmate says shark fins were given to the beggars by the fishermen in China last time. Anymore interesting poor’s person food?
Whats my next dish? Due to the extra packet of noodles I bought, maybe I’ll try Hokkien Mee or Hor Fun
