Your stewed roast pork looks delicious. Whenever we have leftover roast pork, my mom does the same thing by adding soy sauce, garlic, and chopped pickled mustard greens. I’m so getting roast meat this weekend haha.. you’re making me hungry!
That egg omelette looks yummy too.

HP: Sometimes I run out of fresh ideas too, maybe you can share yours?
jy: Thanks!
Fen: One time I was extremely busy, so we ate out for a week. After that, I fell ill.
Even though we try to choose healthier dishes when we eat out, outside food is still not so healthy., eg. the use of recycled oil, strong use of seasonings and MSG, not so hygenic practices, etc.
So that’s why I try to cook at home as often as possible, even if it’s just the two of us.
Dora: Thanks! It’s great to know more people are following the trend to cook at home.
DK: Thanks, sis! Hope you’re inspired to replicate some nostalgic Teochew dishes at home!
Momo: I think you’ve eaten the version that’s made from scratch at my home. It’s been ages since you tried my mom’s cooking. Oh, the memories!

Stewed roast pork looks familiar. Have i eaten that at your place before?
Chinese long bean / yardlong bean omelette is definitely a comfort home food

Nothing beats home-cooked food… and you make them looks so yummy… particularly the Teochew-style steamed pomfret…
Wow, you actually have the patience to cook for 2 people, I thought usually such a fare is only in big families. 2 people usually dine out for convenience…

Thanks, jacky!
Piggy, yes, that’s the roe! It’s supposedly prized, but I haven’t learned to appreciate it yet. I think the one in the pic is a male roe.
