[Home] From My Sis Private Kitchen - Cooked with Love, Served with Care

Since our household is a combination of Hokkien and Cantonese, we grew up with saucy food and soups. Beef has never made an appearance at home since my grandma's (dad's mom) days. So, we grew up with chicken and pork. The old house backyard used to have chicken coop.

Dad can cook quick meals like baked beans, pork loin anchovies soup, and stir fry vegetable. Usually dishes that grandma wants. Mom rarely cooks but if she does, we'll get specials like nasi lemak, pork skin curry, custard dessert and some funny stuff that she was into at that point in time. 

Nowadays, my parents rely on my sis for  their meals and I'm forever grateful to have one that manages that for them.

One of the perks of going home, besides spending time with family, will be home cooked food. Here's a glimpse of dinner menu.

The chilies were somewhat more fiery than expected, but guess who finished them all. Hahaha!
