More food to eat.....

Eating big meals is a very normal thing to me. I am even known as the Eating Queen because I go hungry every 1 hour. Maybe I'm still at the growing stage or probably because i have a bigger body and thus i need more food to burn for energy?

One thing for sure, I am trained since young by my mum....

Did u know that beautiful plates/containers and decorative can promote eating? hehe..

Look how pretty my container is! Mum bought this in Aust. Hmm.. don't ask me why. She just loves to spend.

 Beautiful red container cheers me up!

Mum made famous Hakka dish 算盘子 （Little yam balls topped with shredded cuttle fish, minced dried shrimps & minced pork). The product may look simple but trust me, to create this dish, my mum has gone through a long journey. First, she has to peeled the skin of the yams. Then she has to steam them until they become soft. Then she mashes them and adds just the right amount of flour and kneads into a soft but not dry dough. Then she makes into small balls and cooks them in boiling water. Then she rubs some oil  so little yam balls don't stick together. Then she stir-fries the topping separately. Hope i didn't lose anyone along the way :P it's really a complicated process. I have helped mum made these little devils before and i must say, i salute mum for her patience...

Complicate Hakka dish

On top of this BIG portion of  yam balls, she also gave me  6 pieces of Hakka chai kuih, 2 slices of carrot cakes, 2 pieces of pumpkin kuih and some steamed chickpeas and red bean soup as breakfast. Although I eat a lot, this amount of food way way exceeded my normal capacity.  I managed to eat half of the yam balls (super yummy by the way!), the pumpkin kuihs, chickpeas, red bean soup in the morning, gave away the Hakka chai kuih to my colleagues and save the rest for lunch... hahaha.. yeah, i have never felt so defeated before :S 

Yesterday, my mum prepared a big breakfast again (haha, what's new?) .... To save me from describing, please look at the picture below

A picture says a thousand words!

With mum's around, i forget how it feels to be hungry. With mum around, I seriously can forget going on a diet. My priority now is to work on my eating ability for i'm sure there are a lot more challenges to come in the future haha.. The next time u see me, hopefully i have not turned into a hippo. But whatever I shall become, i will always be the nice and adorable Jenn u know of hehehehe....
