chap chye (cabbage, taupok, tanhoon) with lean pork
i switched from fatty belly pork & pork collar to lean pork after feedback from my OPS friends. more healthy la..
i had about 1.2kg lean pork in a brine of 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp salt, 2 tbsp shaoxing wine & 2tbsp mirin.
then 5hrs in 90degC oven in a oven dish.
i sliced the pork thinly & placed it in the steam oven for 45mins. this produced a very tender pork.

lychee & mango konnyaku jelly
today was special as my OPS primary school classmates came to help at bread of life.
one of them made 80 pieces of konnyaku jelly & delivered to newgate. but she could not join as she had a business call & had to leave to attend to that.
lychee jelly
the jellies were quite super. i like it a lot myself.

my OPS friends got to know my RI friends. after bread of life, another OPS friend brought 3 large packets of durians. so we went to blk 216 bedok north food centre to enjoy the durians.
