sweet and sour pork!
Finally made sweet and sour pork.
I am such a slave to this dish seriously.
:D
well and it tastes really good according to my parents.
Dad: The colour is really nice.
Mum: Meat is really Q.
Not bad eh???
it's so cute how they have this impression that i'll starve to death. and when i cook something they'll be really happy and say "good now you won't be starved to death" and now my mother is contemplating to retire as the family's cook. I warned them that it'll be sweet and sour pork and fried egg everyday, that changed her mind.
Ima gonna share the recipe here!
- use pig shoulder meat (150g)
- dice the meat, preferably 2.5cm by 2.5cm?
- marinate with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar and half a beaten egg
- MASSAGE the meat for like 2 min. (i did for 5min cuz it was damn fun)
- keep in fridge for later use ( i marinated it for 3+ hours)
- Cuz there will be frying, so we need something to bread the cubes with
- i ran out of starch, didn't want to use flour so i made bread crumbs
- cut the bread into small cubes and place in oven and bake it at 125deg cel. for 10min
- pound it to crumbs
- coat meat with crumbs
- deep fry till turn brown
- drain with kitchen towel
- add in sweet and sour sauce and bell pepper and pineapple.
- add in meat
- stir fry for 2-3 min for meat to absorb sauce.
- SERVE!
muaha. i haven't had any craving for anything else. so. i'll make it when i do. haha.

Black and white
It awes me to think that black and white keys of the piano and notes on the staff can paint pictures and dreams so colourful it's blinding.
Things of no colour at all, stitch together feelings and melodies that conjure beautiful images others can't see .
so pretty.

I wish I could go back, and tell myself,
- the boy you thought you couldn't live without actually doesn't mean that much to you after all.
- you're a clever girl. don't waste your wits on things that harms you.
- you're never as bad as people say you are and never as good as you think you are.
- you're a super accident prone kid.
- you're an artsy person, do not try to fit your artistic brain into a systematic calculative mould
- your "best friend" will not be your "best friends forever", friends come and go, but do identify the keepers.
- let your heart flutter and stomach turn when you can, because when you're 20 something it'll feel like stagnant water
- people leave.
- but your parents will stand by you no matter what, so put them before anyone else and love them the most-est-est.
- You dream in colour, but that doesn't mean your reality will forever be inferior to your dreams.
- there will come a time when you stop believing in the "fairytale love" crap, and someone will tell you fairytales are full of shit. believe him.
- try not to mess up your life at any point okay? been there done that, not fun.
- people whom you look down upon may at one point (okay a looong point) be better than you. so don't judge.
- maybe you're an all rounder, but have patience to really learn something before getting involved in something else. you may hate techniques and basics but that's the flow girl..
- you think you have all the time in the world, but i'm feeling pretty old at 21. cherish time.
- love the oldest people you know, you have such a short time to learn so much from them.
- you may have started with them on the same white line, but now most of them are flying and you're crawling. pick yourself up and run. maybe you've been crawling with your wings.
- i love you alot.
- don't live to please anyone else because it's your life, not theirs.
- you're meant to fly, baby panda ;)
