At Christmas, on Saturday 27 Dec, after dropping off some presents at Adele's and Spencer, Daddy brought Mommy to eat peranakan food. Actually, Daddy is a descendent of a peranakan family. My chor chor is a Nyonya, and Daddy's Daddy which is my Gong Gong is half Baba. When my Mommy Daddy got married, Mommy donned a red nyonya kerbaya with pheonix and dragons, complete with sarong bottom. She's trying to dig out a pic to show you....hehee.
So, my Ma Ma can cook delicious peranakan dishes, and Daddy is in love with these dishes which now he only can eat during CNY when Ma Ma will cook them. Mommy tried Ayam Bua Kelok and Ayam Seo for the first time at Daddy's place before they got married. Ayam Bua Kelok is really an acquired taste. At first try, Mommy didn't like it, but as the years go by, she found herself craving for it everytime CNY comes. So much so she never fail to order the organic Ayam Bua Kelok whenever she visits the organic cafe 7 Sensations with her colleagues. :) Yummy!
These 2 months, who isn't into the latest blockbuster Channel 8 Series The Little Nyonya? Mommy Daddy are huge fans, and always watch the recorded episode together now when both of us are in bed. Even during Mommy's confinement, she's been salivating for the food, and Daddy promised to bring her go eat even before CNY. So on Saturday, there we go!
So our family of 4 went to IVIN's at Thomson. Mei Mei slept throughout the meal. :)
I was quite well behaved, finishing my mee sua and eating some of the fishballs slowly. We didn't notice but a family at our neighbouring table has been observing me, and they waved goodbye back to me when I left, and jokingly asked me to take more fishballs and come back next time for more dishes. Hehee.
What Mommy Daddy ate......what PIGS they are....
1. Ayam Bua Kelok (Daddy Mommy's favourite)
2. Babi Ponteh (Mommy INSIST she must order this favourite dish of "Ju Xiang's" mom)
3. Nyonya Chap Chye (What Yu Zu cooked at the 80th Birthday celebration)
4. Chilli Fish
5. He Piow Soup
And Chendol and 10 more pieces of kueh which Daddy bought home for tea break!!!!! I TOLD you they are pigs.
Oh and last night Friday, they bought Rempah Udang from a pasam malam nearby and ate it while watching Little Nyonya. I am sure no one are a bigger fans than them already.
