Family Traditions

I think family traditions are such an important part of growing up of a child... because these traditions are things that will give us the sweet memories for many more years and months to come...

For Ace, I think the faimly traditions he has so far enjoyed are things like drinking juice in the morning at Popo's house, eating fruits at Yeye's house, feeding the tortoises at Yeye's house, going to Lions Club to help the old folks, drinking home made soya milk, having before bedtime conversations.. and I hope these will give him lots of wonderful memories when he grows up...

I too, had my fair share of wonderful memories of family traditions... like us eatintg fish head pot every CNY, going over to my grandma's place to stay every holiday and forcing her to buy us tao huay and cai tao guay in the morning for breakfast... asking her to cook us a famous soya sauce chicken and eating canned lychees for dessert after that.....

My sis had a bout of nostalgia and decided to cook soya sauce chicken when she found the receipe in far far away france... alas, she says it is not as nice as granny's chicken.. so I have documented down how to cook Peng Family style soya sauce chicken.... Peng Family Cousins.. here you go...


Step 1: Put two table spoons of sugar into the pot and stir constantly using low fire... after about 15 min, it will turn dark brown and you can add a little bit of water....

Step 2: Put in the chicken and the black soya sauce and steam/cook for 20 min... constantly ladelling some of the sauce and pouring it over the chicken so that the chicken can turn back...



Step 3: Poke the chicken with a chopstick.. if the opening does not look pink or red.. it means your chicken is ready to be taken out to be chopped and served...
