mum likes cakey brownies,
but I would always pester mum for fudgy brownies.
so this time mum made fudgy brownies for me.
Meatball Pasta
๐๐๐๐
shrooms pasta with red bell peppers, and tomato gravy,
topped with homemade meatballs
Pizza ๐
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
joined mum in the kitchen making homemade pizza from scratch- right from the dough!
all the dry and wet ingredients combined and mixed with a mixer, until it forms a nice and obedient dough!
check out the activation of the yeast, as the yeast says hi in the video! glad to be able to capture the moment of the yeast 'erupting' with my lenses!
after the process of proofing which took an hour, we were ready to knead the dough and shape it into the crusty pizza crust, all ready for toppings!
we had red capsicum, spring onions, onions, pineapples, mushrooms, ham -- a perfect combi for hawaiian, topped with LOTS OF MOZZARELLA CHEESE!!!
took many hours to finish making the homemade pizzas,
but our family of 3 took less than an hour to finish the pizzas.

banana cinnamon
A relative of apple cinnamon (the ultimate filling for apple pie),
we have the banana cinnamon!
cooked bananas make the bananas seem riper and leave them melting in your mouth with the rich banana goodness, coupled with the cinnamon!
amazing combination with waffles, pancakes, puff pastries, or maybe even ice cream.
French toast
Mum says french toasts are one of the easiest to make, and are perfect for breakfast, or teabreak.
Imagine sitting in the backyard of your house, watching the fluffy white clouds in the sky,
all while maple syrup is being drizzled in your freshly made french toasts - while soaked in the mildly sweet egg mixture and cinnamon to add the kick.
Then you have a warm cup of coffee, tea or chocolate to go with the toast.
Ah, that's life,
complete and well-complemented with
french toasts.
mylaobuisagoodcook on social media: thoughts
(click the above image for the link to our youtube channel)
why are we doing this?
since it is my uni vacation now before my unofficial practicum,
i decided to create a youtube channel, where i upload footage of my mum's cooking!
6 subscribers so far, and some 20,30,50ish viewers to each videos, varying due to the period of posting.
since i created my personal instagram a few years ago, i attach the hashtag of #mylaobuisagoodcook to photographs i post of my mum's homemade treats and meals! the hashtag seems to be uniquely mine, and no one has exploited it thus far (good, please stay that way tyvm) - except for ONE random prawn noodle that someone took at a kopitiam and rudely attached MY hashtag HAHAHAHA ok no copyrights, so oh well, leave it there then.
yup, then i created this blog, where i would share some small tales about the story surrounding my mum's food.
then came the youtube channel.
ok i would admit that i do wonder who are the audiences of my channels and the subscribers.
the numbers aren't very high.
and i guess large numbers of followers likes all that aren't what i am after for making the videos, and creating the channel, and even sharing it on the different social media platform.
rather, i just see it as, sharing and spreading the love she used to prepare these homecooked meals else where!
since i have more time to spend now, i decided to record the footage in the kitchen, and hone my video making and editing skills to produce vids for mylaobuisagoodcook channel!
i love eating
i love watching my mum cook food that i love to eat
i love my mum
the videos and youtube channel are for you mum.

mango season
The mango season in nearing
And this reminds me of the time mum creatively used the sweet mangoes
and turned them into different mango cuisines like mango salad, mango rojak, mango fried rice, mango waffles, mango pancakes, mango sago, mango popsicles, mango smoothie, mango sticky rice.
Which earned her a mention in the mango article featured in the daily chinese newspaper lian he zao bao! We had our photos featured too! I think I had mentioned this somewhere in my older posts here, but since this is a really rare, amazing and fortunate experience, thanks to mum's superb culinary skillz! I suspose it deserves another mention? :)
Let's have fun with mangoes.
Anyway, i wonder what mum will be 'up to' this time with mangoes using her upz skills.
Hotteok ํธ๋ก
Hotteok ํธ๋ก
A famous Korean street snack.
You can never miss this delicacy in the streets of korea,
but we have it here in mum's kitchen/
Hotteok is made from fresh dough and can be served with a variety of fillings,
sure to surprise you and your tastebuds.
After 2 rounds of proofing (1 hour for the first proofing), the sticky dough that seem to flow like viscous lava from the volcano, is ready to be shaped into round balls filled with a generous serving of the filling, to the choice of the maker!
Mum had made hotteok for many times,
and each time she indeed surprised my tastebuds with the different fillings she hid in the dough.
-cheese
-curry potatoes
-brown sugar with peanuts
-brown sugar with sesame seeds
cinnamon powder
-lotus paste
-vegetables
and many more!!
Watch the video I had attached above that documents the process of my mum making hotteok in our kitchen!
CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS
Moist and rich on the inside,
golden brown and well-baked on the outside.
Perfect with a cup of kopi,
for the afternoon tea,
on a lazy weekday.
When the weather was just fine.
Cherry Tomato Egg Omelette
A pretty easy dish to make: Cherry Tomato Egg Omelette!! I can do it too.
But mum's style is unbeatable hahaha.
Homemade Chilli Sauce ๐ถ️
I can't take spicy food,
but mummy's homemade chilli sauce is just perfect for me. 
๐ถ️
๐ถ️
๐ถ️
Dinner Rolls and Cheesy Garlic Bread
Never take bread for granted, especially if it is handmade.
๐ Didn't use our mixer else it wake everyone up! So we kneaded the dough by ourselves, it was so tedious, cuz it was so sticky and stubborn! My arms were aching, my fingers were aching, itching whatever HAHA the weather so warm and humid. But mum and I worked hard, we took turns, mixing, kneading, punching, turning..AND it was finally ready, clean and smooth, ready for proofing, we know it's on its way to being a fluffy white bread!
๐๐๐๐๐Mum turned the dough into dinner rolls and cheesy garlic bread! It was like magic! ๐
We are on Youtube and Instagram
Having tagged all my insta food photos that I share of mum's homecooked dishes "#mylaobuisagoodcook",
*drums rolling*
is now on Instagram

Mango Sago ่ๆ่ฅฟ็ฑณ้ฒ
Making this video of mum's mango sago dessert reminds me of the following picture of a newspaper clipping because mum and I were featured in the local papers ่ๅๆฉๆฅ for mum's creative dishes with mangoes!

๋ก๋ณถ์ด tteokbokki
์๋ง์ผ๋ก๋ณถ์ด!
I am super impressed? ๐๐
Just like the the first time mum made tteokbokki, this time was just as marvelous! The rice cakes were QQ, very springy - they just darted off my teeth and away around my mouth and it took me quite awhile to get them down my esophagus hahaha.
Looks like we don't needa visit korea to try the korean food because mum can make korean cuisine as well, just in our very own kitchen.
Wanna go travelling as a fam again! and korea is one country I wish to check off my to-go list!
✈✈✈✈✈
and maybe have a try of how tteokbokki tastes like in the country where it originates from! i guess there is always something special about trying the local food at that country, because it beats eating that same food from the same food chain elsewhere since it is globalised and everything has gone international.
๋ก๋ณถ์ด๋๋ง์์ด์!
ๅจๆน็ฒฝ nyonya zhang
If we were to trace back our ancestry and roots all that, we are actually nyonyas! As ็ซฏๅ่ is just next week, we continued preparing for it today and, we are making ๅจๆน็ฒฝ nyonya zhang today! ๅจๆน็ฒฝ nyonya zhang is tasty in her own unique way! There's a tinge of sweetness from the dried winter melon slices, which makes every mouthful of it an experience. Other than the kee zhang which my mum also made, ๅจๆน็ฒฝ nyonya zhang is my favourite! ๐
The ingredients in this rice dumpling includes: minced chicken (boneless, without fat! healthy -that's the way) that is sauteed with dried winter melon slices, shitake mushrooms (oh my fave!), shallots, garlic, spiced with the corriander powder and ground pepper powder! With a little piece of pandan leaf for fragrance, the rice dumpling wrapped in the sheets of bamboo leaves gives off a blissful smell as the dumplings are cooking in the boiling water for about 2.5 hours. ๐
Thank you mum, you are great!
So, check out this video I made of this process! (dedicated to mum!)

Burger ๐
As wholesome and filling as it looks, you've just gotta taste it yourself. This blogpost and the photos won't do it justice omg I can't find words to describe this burger ๐..
So before I share more, i had a snapshot of gluttony me looking all hungry and ready to attack and the burger in my right hand while drinking my favourite hk coffee (I used to drink this canned coffee every morning during my international teaching practicum in hk haha) in my other hand. So many (or is it much, cuz uncountable. ok who cares about good engrish when there's food.) good food and there's only one mouth. Impatient.
So the photo below has most of the ingredients mum stacked in the towering burgers.
They include:
cucumber
lettuce
mayo
cheese
eggs
chicken patty (which mum marinated and panfried it herself)
burger buns (lightly toasted till golden brown with a thin spread of butter to finish)
So....
eggplant dish ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
This is not your usual fried brinjal or eggplant, where you stir fry it with sambal chilli or what.
What's the difference between brinjal and eggplant, or maybe aubergine? Common names. Different shades, different sizes. Hmm. Same species, but named differently in different parts of the world like asia, north america etc.
It's actual a korean-style side dish that mum adopts. Mum's going global in her kitchen. Steady la.
Following the K-wave. Hahaha.
์๋ง ์ต๊ณ ์์!(Mum you are the best.)
 |
| the purple is so royal. |
So this dish has a fresh taste. Mum blanched and boiled the chopped eggplant for 5 minutes before tearing them.
Then comes the great trick, with sesame seeds, her homemade chilli sauce (mum da great), sauces, spring onions and all that to taste.
JJANG!
์๋ง ์ฌ๋ํด!
Caramel Sweet Potatoes๐
ๅฐ็ๅฐ็， ้กถๅฑๅฑ！
Mum and I fell in love with this sweet dessert side dish after several visits to the sushi restaurant. Hahaha. Although our first encounter with this dish after we got it off the conveyor belt was pretty embarrassing! Curious at the new recommended dish, we cautiously took it and sank our teeth *quickly* into it. It didn;t budge. It was a rock. An edible rock. Should we be socially unacceptable and put the remaining back on the belt HAHAHA OBVIOUSLY WE DID NOT.
So we asked the waiter.
(Jane: is this edible, what is this, why is it so hard, my teeth is hurting. help i need the dentist.)
Then we realised, we gotta sink our teeth slowly. The caramel coating will melt and we can devour the sweet coating with the sweet potato, which pleasantly surprises you like a gentle "peekaboo".
We fell in love with it.
I am not someone with a sweet tooth.
But oh this was heaven.
And my great mama bear made this at home. Isn't she lovely and talented. ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐
Whatever I love to eat, mum makes them readily available, anytime and anywhere HEHE.

| Caramel is hot and can splatter. Mum's so brave!! ๐ช๐ช |

Red Velvet Pound Cake
Pound Cake Story: I did a simple internet search and it says the chief ingredients of the pound cake would be of equal portion or ideally one pound.
Really? Haha I didn't know that. ๐ฎ
My impression of pound cake was that it is sold in the sliding small fridge in the supermarket and you will have to eat it hard and cold. I rmb my primary 2 teacher treating us each to a slice of pound cake, and it was cold like icecream in my memory.
Red Velvet Story: I used to not know what red velvet was and friends laughed at my ignorance of this heavenly dessert flavour whatever.
I casually asked my mum what red velvet was some time ago-- it has been a few years back. And one fine day, she surprised me with red velvet (something) I cannot remember anymore.
I have tried and tasted mum's red velvet series - with this current red velvet pound cake a new addition!! and I no longer feel like dumb for not trying red velvet!
Thank you mum. For allowing me to taste the world. In the comforts of my home.
Thank you for always listening to what I am saying (even when I thought you weren't, but actually you were), and then surprising me one day with something that I had so casually dismissed saying it.
I love you - like the red velvet's red.
kah li kweh bee hoon
Curry Chicken Bee Hoon.
In hokkien, we call it kah li kweh bee hoon. :)
Mum added potato (I am a potato and potatoes are my favourite hahaha),
chicken, bean puffs (TAU POK).
I am impressed by mum's capability in creating last minute changes to her intended menu, not flustered at all. :)
The bee hoon dish was well finished (in plating and in eating by me) with the fried shallots that were fried by mum!
Cashew Nut Brownie
Mum was a cashew-nut-bae when she sprinkled the finely chopped cashew nut on the brownie batter.
(Boomerang worthy)
I often argue with mama BROWNie bear that I love fudgy brownie but mama bear likes baking cakey brownie. Well, the ingredients, the mixer, the baking pan, the oven, the knife are all in her hands, and I only have my mouth to offer. I eat cakey brownies. (anyway it's all the difference in the amounts of chocolate, butter, sugar and flour)
--casually googled the two terms and it led me to this infographic kinda picture screengrab from a youtube video about the science behind brownie. I love how cooking is science. :)
So yep, you could take a reference?
And,
Also,
Regardless of the texture-
You know what
And I know you do too,
I love my brownies.
No fuss, no quarrels
because
A Brownie A Day Keeps the Frownies Away.
and with a little cashew nut,
it cause you nut.

Hello, here is a plate of omurice. It has a smiley face and it reminds you to smile. (even when the going gets tough and you feel like giving up, but maybe you should also force a smile too, and tell yourself you are alright)
Mum made this thoughtful plate of omurice during the weekend I felt really troubled and stuck and when I felt that nobody could help me and deal with issues with me.
Remember I posted that after the hiatus of me being in hk, I am back with more food stories and food sharings by my mum? But then I went on an hiatus then again with an edited draft post of the cny goodies which was never posted.
It has been a really shag sem for me, needing to grapple between the academics and some other activities I was involved in. That
so HIATUS.
But I am really thankful for this period because I am clearer where I stand and who I am. The disappointments, the setbacks, the mess, the people who aren't there.
Whatever. Really. It kinda doesn't matter that much anymore. Just wanted to air these thoughts here a little and leave it just here.
Someone may have told me these are ๅพไบ ๅฏๆฏไฝ ็ฅ้้ๆฒกๆๅบๅฐไฝ ็่，ไฝ ๅจไธๆ--้ฃๅ้ฃไน ไน ，ๆ่ๆ ๅบ่ซ，ๆ ๅถ้ฎ้ณ，่ฏด็่ฏ，ๆฅๅพๅคงๅฃฐ，ๆๅ้ณ，ไน่ฝปๆพ。I am moving on. But I am keep this experience with me, always, somewhere.
So, during that period, the omurice made me smile. :)
And I am sharing that, we should be like omurice and smile.
Eat it and smile.

Homemade pizza goodness encapsulated all in one photo.
That's the beauty the sweetness from the freshness of mum's homemade pizza because she knows your tastebuds, and she has the freshest and the healthiest ingredients to include in the pizza to pamper you after she tops it perfectly with her grated mozzarella cheese.
I am an unusually slow eater. I like to savour every bit of what I eat.
But I am sorry, I inhaled every bit of the pizza and I needed extra helping.
I usually take forever to eat the pizzas we get outside. Because they are dry they are tough they have too much meat topping for me to handle and they scrap my tongue ow. :( But mum's pizza --> no second thoughts. They are juicy and they are veggie and they are just the way I want my pizza to be done.
Maybe you should try mum's pizzas one day.
Even more perfect when she kneads her own pizza dough, which rises grand and smooth.

homecooked dinner in hall
Eating homecooked food in a home away from home!
Thank you mummy!!!! For rushing to buy the freshest-of-all ingredients in the morning, cooking my favourite dishes and bringing them down to hall (from a really really long distance from home!) in a bag to keep them warm! That's a lot of hardwork! Really appreciate that! *inserts big thumping heart emoji* I love homecooked food! (Oh, how many times must I reiterate that hehe)
So what did I have?
Fragrant white rice
Chap chye (When I received mum's whatsapp a few hours early, and saw the word, chap chye, I was already salivating. Conditioned response of salivating- not by the ringing bell done by Pavlov- the stimulus for me is mum's homecooked food!! Seriously- what even??!! (APPLICATION OF WHAT I'VE LEARNT IN UNI DONE HERE)
Butter prawns
Soya sauce chicken with mushroom and potato
Yuppz, I finished everyhthing in no time (as usual). *rubs tummy*
But that's not all, folks
!
Mum also made these amazing red velvet babies! Red velvet cupcakes and pound cake (see another post for the compilation of the pound cakes mum made)! I shared them with other friends of the same course in hall and I guess they were more than happy to receive these tasty treats! :)
Indeed homecooked food in a home away from home, but nothing beats enjoying homecooked food within the comforts of your home isn't it! :)
Press on! Everybody! It's almost near halfway into the semester of my second year and recess week is approaching?
Keep calm and EAT HOMECOOKED FOOD.
-J
