purely homemade



gosh, nothing beats home-cooked lo mai kai. what is the translation in english?
steamed glutinous rice with chicken? haha
and the best to go with it? seaweed soup with minced chicken meat with an egg added. yum yum!
although the homemade lomakai is totally different from what you get at the shops, and sometimes frankly not as good...but still it is the taste that you have got used to.
i guess the same goes to other food as well. they are the tastes you have got so used to and sometimes after a long absence from home, and you get back to it, the tastes of food would be just as you have remembered all along.... or mom has never improved in her cooking at all. hehehehe. they never leave you. this is what makes coming home so nice and welcoming.

i want.... saliva all over the floor now. we do make it here but taste is not the same, maybe because we don't steam it the same way. yum, yum
