My mom made me some sushis, when I was home for holiday last month.

That's the rice for making Sushis. The rice is cooked using Japanese rice and with vinegar added.


Spreading the ingredients on the seaweed - Carrot slices, Cucumber slices, Tuna spread and of course the rice!


Start rolling the seaweed with ingredients spreading on top.

Home Sweet Home Series - Dinner (3 Dishes + 1 Soup)

This time, I would like to introduce everyone to dishes prepared specially by my parents. They are not artificially flavoured, 100% fresh and tasty! I missed those food so much before I returned. Though not some very expensive food and not some very special food, however, they are some home-prepared food, not available elsewhere! :D

3 dishes ...


And 1 soup ...


Closer view of the dishes:

Sardin in Curry

The sardins tasted similar to the tinned one. They were cooked by my mom. I was told that a pressure cooker was used to cook the sardins in which even the bones of the fishes were soften, just like what the tinned ones offer. :P Then, the sardins were then used to cook the curry, which was prepared by my father. My dad loves to cook curry! I guess because he loves to eat curry very much.

Vegetables

Well, this is just some ordinary vegetables with ordinary type of cooking style. :P But, I still think it's better than what I could come out with.

Yong Tau Foo in Tomyam

Well, this gotta be my favourite of all these dishes. My mom cooked the yong tau foo herself. The fillings were yummy. They were made of fish, with the flesh beaten into thick texture, and of cause with some seasonings added. Hey, but no MSG at all! That's what home-cooked-food are valuable of! :P
By the way, the tomyam paste was also prepared by my mom herself. However, I have no idea how it was prepared, as I was not at home when she made it.
