Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!!

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to all of you!

This evening I did not cook, just me and my girl... We went to my mama's place for dinner. She prepared a few simple dishes... though the dishes were very simple, I enjoyed being there to eat with her. It is not often nowadays that we had dinner together in her house... most times, either I cook in my own home or we eat outside food, my girl and I.

During earlier days, my mum used to cook abundantly and the dishes were superb! But now as her eyes are giving her problem, she cook less and simpler dishes... Nevertheless, I am very happy and grateful that I still have a mum to go home to... a mum who is always happy and welcoming... a mum who looks forward to our visiting her each day....

stewed duck with young ginger...
I love the way my mum cooks this...
simply SUPERB!!
pickled cucumber with some chicken meat..
steamed kampung chicken is a Must...of course soup too..
that slab of meat goes to Labby later on...
the display of dishes...
SIMPLE & SUFFICIENT!

(My In-Law's dishes are in Lets Wallop!)
