Bacon Bones and Cabbage Stew ~ 培根骨焖白菜.


I cooked this dish during my recent holiday in Perth.  I was attracted to the big chunks of bacon bones at the butchers in the supermarket and instantly thought of the savoury and sourish dish which we normally cook leftovers with 'gai choy'.   I couldn't find 'gai choy' and so substituted with green cabbage which turned out just as good.

Char Siew Pau ~ 蒸叉烧包

I have been itching to try out a Pau recipe and vaguely remember that I did make it once, long, long ago.  So I  got hold of my old file of recipes and finally managed to retrieve it.  I did it recently and must say that I'm satisfied with the result.  The texture of the Pau was soft and a bit chewy, wholesome and filling too.  Naturally, they didn't look so nice and round like the ones sold in the dim sum restaurants, but nonetheless I think homemade ones can be just as delectable as well.
