So the Mum has decided to take off for 2 weeks to Brisbane, for a little holiday and to check up on Liedeeuh. (The last i heard from the Mum it was freezing in the land of Oz.) Thus leaving me with ms.ShugarPrincess, Dad and Lacey. This only means one thing. I have to figure out what the rest of us will eat for dinner or we'll survive purely on take outs and I don't wanna turn into a big lump of fat after 2 weeks. 
Let me tell you, figuring out what to cook for other people day after day is no easy task. I salute you, cooks & mothers everywhere. And i don't even wanna think about what we should do when all the food runs out from the fridge. I refuse to contemplate even going into the filthy wet market, picking my cuts of meat and fish. 
I'm really not mature enough for that yet. If i need raw produce there's Tesco, or Giant. So for tonight i have decided to make some nice soft Egg Custard with bits of yummy mince pork in it. YuM! 
I've been asking around and reading it up on the net, how people cook it. I'm surprised there are several variations to the simple dish. Some like their mince fried before steaming it, some just dump the mince, raw into the egg, some have specific measurements for the amount of water to add in with the eggs, some have salted egg in their recipe, others put bits of century egg into it. The possibilities are endless! So wish me luck as i try to dish out some steamed egg custard for dinner tonight!!

Of course, i'm not just cooking this one dish for dinner, dinner will be with some fried veggies and some seafood tofu. I just hope i don't have to do the washing up at the end as well. Au revoir!
