Not easy to replicate what I tasted in the Peranakan restaurant we visited & I can’t find the recipe. I’ve replicated it 1st time but I overlooked the lime & used half a lemon. I’m quite hard on myself I guess. Doesn’t taste the same. I thot my garden still hv lime growing on it but we used faster than they grow. I must propagate ano pot.

My family find it too spicy coz I took the wrong chilli. As my chilli turns red on my plant, I just harvest & forgot to check the variety I picked fr the lot I kept in the fridge. Will make again tmr & surely get the lime & be light on cutting the chilli (the right one).

It’s nice with light brown sugar & vinegar. Overall, hubby says appetizing. Comforting hor.

You sure have standard to replicate to the similar taste. Mine getting very surface. Yesterday I saw my braised meat gravy not thickening and dark enough as in the first few times..I told myself never mind la..

Chillies, if your family members like the pickled type can make it into pickled chillies.

Careful taking too much rich food & too late into the night.

I’ve learnt to eat healthily after a health scare in my early 30s. Then, I started learning to cook for myself as I’m averse to MSG & prefers to use fresh ingredients using olive or grape seed oil, after my mum passed on. I hardly cook red meat at home but don’t restrict myself when eating out. In a sense, I give myself some ‘treats’ when eating out.

I’ve seen how MIL suffers fr gout & BIL is only now getting his gout, after years of enjoying rich food as SIL can’t really cook & he’s always enjoying hoping fr one gourmet meal to ano & used to rave abt it. Now, with 3 kids & expenses going up, SIL started to learn to cook more at home & assisted by my elder niece. I’ve always encouraged that & last Christmas bought her an apron set & baking accessories.

Do take care, as we age, too much meat or rich food will clog our system & accumulatively affect our health.

Not perfect yet. My 1st try. It’s good not to be too perfect & I’m learning not to be too hard on myself. Que Sera Sera.

Yes, that’s a brilliant idea to pickle the chilli. Most time, we use our chilli harvest to process Sambal chilli. My family loves it & we’ll make MIL’s share.

I love chillies too, esp chilli padi. Are they easy to plant and grow?

Chilli padi is very easy to plant. They flower very quickly too. If you can't wait a couple of months, then you can get some grown plants from Thomson and have fun! But the plants will also die in about a year's time.

Thank you for your care and advice. I recall a phase in the Bible \"For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.\", the problem is my friends always \"over order\" food during a buffet and because I don't waste food, so all of these excess will be ended up in my stomach. However, when I ask them not to order too much food even it is a buffet, they will say they want to try these food and can finish them.

Nowadays, youngsters likes to waste food - don't want to eat... don't eat lah....but for me and DH and DS, we all don't waste food.
