Quick Chinese home-cooked lunch for small families
It has been quite a day. Benghui has been acting up with this invisible magnet between him and the idiot box. Also the sounds he makes as he mimics the heroes on television. I tell him it is not real, it is just television but I might as well be talking to the wall.
Mrs Bengbeng is also very busy. She is busy doing some work with Adobe photoshop 6.0 and powerpoint and microsoft word. She was busy till late last night. Today, it continues. So, I guess if I don’t want to take instant noodles again, I have to cook.
I cooked midin. Ingredients : midin, garlic, onions, ikan bilis, salt. ( belacan is optional)
Black pompfret low heat fried and chilly dip with ikan bilis/anchovies. It is this way bcoz Mrs bengbeng doesn’t take spicy food so I don’t pour it over the fish.
Benghui cam whoring…he seems to take after daddy and likes to dip food into the chilly paste.
The other is white carrot, tomato, chicken, and salt soup
Another is tauge, tahu, eggs and tomato..left overs from this morning’s breakfast.
What a day! I think I will just leave the computer and run away to the gym again: run away from the chores I have not done- the leaking faucet, repairing the roof, trimming the garden: run, run, run….run from being daddy and hubby for a few hours. Sometimes I fantasize what life will be like if I had not married 
Mrs BengBeng is ur lovely wife? You can cook!!! The food looks so nice~~~ i miss the first dishes!!! yum yum~~~
“Sometimes I fantasize what life will be like if I had not married” hmmm……what kind of answer you are expected? \o/ \o/ \o/
Oh yes! I remember that midin. I liked it so much when fried it with belacan.
aiyo, why u make me lau nua again! next time i go back to sibu make sure u invite me to ur house for dinner wei!
Bengbeng, why you always torturing me with truly Sibu food??? *wipes drool* So hungry now!
By the way, Bengbeng, link me up with my own new domain name ya. http://www.clareng.com Thanks! Have a nice day!
Agnes: i hope u like my cooking. i cheated n put tomato to make midin dish look more colorful b4 i took foto hahahaha.
Kean-Jin-Lim: it is like my post of a tale of two cities and two men. we may never know. once we tread a road, we never look back but go ahead. so i wonder sometimes ouch *
Aceone: i like it with belacan too but kid n wife prefer without
Wuching : next time u come back i make peking duck ala bengbeng for u ..with red ginger n ngo hiang powder.
Clare: I have linked
i dun cook.. ha ha, too bad..
BB: Most hakka children cook. culturally speaking, the parents go out to work in the gardens n the youngest aged 6 and above have to cook irrespective of gender. that’s what i been told by kuching hakka ppl anyway. they cook until they r big enuf to help out in the gardens. everybody is useful. in foochow society, the males are more ‘popoi’ or pampered even when it comes to division of property.
btw nobody noticed: the hardest part to cook is the chilly dip for the fish.
Bengbeng, next time put up recipe how to cook/make the chilli dip lah…I love spicy!
So far never taste REAL good chilli dip…tot of trying your recipe…Hehehe!
Thanks for linking!
