something sweet & sour
Posted on Oct 16, 2009 under family, food, good stuff | 18 Comments2 days ago, my MIL came back from the market carrying a few bags of stuff. I was surprised to see so many things and asked her what she bought. She said, “I’m going to cook Pork Leg Vinegar today”
Ahhhh….brings back lots of memories of my confinement. Just to let you know, my MIL is a great cook. She may not know where to get furnace filters but when it comes to cooking, she’s a pro. Cooking is what she loves to do best and we are never short of good food when she’s around. When we were in Canada, she made kaya, lor mai kai, pan mee…etc. Here is what I have been eating for 2 days.
A big pot
All done cooking…can’t wait to eat
My bowl of Pork Leg Vinegar

Erm… me dunno how to appreciate this kinda porky dishes… my MIL is a great cook too but too bad, I just couldn’t force myself to like those confinement dishes. As a result, I suffered during confinement

although hubby and i love this dish, we only dare to eat the lean meat and all the skin and fats gone wasted
am tempted to cook this again soon, as I just realise qiqi loves this when we ate it at my friend’s place last week. any tips ah?

My mum can cook this dish very well too.
and she cooks quite often too when I was still staying with my mum. That time I don’t really appreciate this dish but now I’m missing it..huhuhu.

my mother cooked this for me too, during confinement. Yum yum. I wonder whether my girl likes to eat it if I cook it. I hope so.
