Around 12.15pm, I drove to my parent's house which is about 5 minutes away from mine. Lunch was just about ready...To my surprise, mum cooked something which i've been craving for lately - Chinese pancake & sweet potato desert ("fan-shu-tong-shui" in Cantonese). This combination is perfect coz the taste of these two just go so well together!
The simple Chinese pancake is actuall made of flour & dried prawn. This meal reminds me of the tough times when I was young...Mum was always creative in her cooking, so she will think of many simple, economic, yet delicious food for us.
U know...sometimes I think it's not how expensive the meal is that makes you happy, but the taste of the food which is made by someone with her heart & love that makes it special. That's why my lunch today was really simple, yet truely satisfying.
THANX MUM!
never hear of dat before... from the pic it looks like prata. Wonder what it taste like... hmmm...
ReplyDeletemy mum always cook that pancake during my childhood. I don't really like it but I appreciate my mum's hardwork...
ReplyDeletedio - u gotta try it one day...i really love it! It's like roti canai, but chinese version, with dried prawn in it...
ReplyDeletesean - ya i used to eat this more often during childhood, but somehow i like it, so once a while i'll crave for it...
it's always the simple mum-made food that is is the most satisfying.. all the 'good food' that we eat outside is never as good as the one cooked by our mummy ;p
