i had piccolo latte..good or rather ok but tiong ho better obviously…didn’t need to eat..for young people and not my kind of food.

made and delivered 6pax dinner to my brother this evening on 30.7.2020.^^

1. ah yat style garlic steamed red garoupa蒜蓉蒸红斑
2. salted fish steamed minced pork 咸鱼饼
3. roast pork 烧肉
4. stirfried chinese cabbage

red garoupa was fresh and sweet, especially with the ah yat style garlic steamed 蒜蓉蒸. salted fish steamed minced pork 咸鱼饼 always good, simple popular grandma dish…roast pork 烧肉 was moist and tender and sweet but skin not enough crackling, blistering…will adjust & do laterthe best crackling belly pork recipe! lol!
