We don't eat duck meat so for us we go for the chicken option. They sell it at Cold Storage. On promo days, their birds go for only $4.99 each. :please:


I personally love the Cold Storage's Black Pepper Grilled Chicken.

NTUC have their rotisserrie as well but still Coldstorage's nicer. Ham and coldcuts also I prefer Coldstorage's to NTUC.

Saw mummies here mention abt tofu and eggs....


Would like to recommend 1 dish here using plain tofu, eggs and minced pork with Tong cai....
( wonder any1 has tried this dish b4?)

A very easy dish, yet tasty.....often likes by kids....Try it....

1) mash the plain tofu
2) beat 2 eggs in a mixing bowl
3) mix well the beaten egg with the mashed tofu, add some water ( i use estimation) and some salt and pepper to it
4) steam the mixture under high fire till cooked
5) season the minced pork with some soya sauce, pepper and corn flour
6) after washing the Tong cai, chopped them finely
7) fry the tong cai with the minced pork till cooked
spread the cooked minced pork over the steamed egg tofu....DONE !!!

Augmum, thanks for sharing. I would like to try to cook this one. But what is Tong cai?

Keroppi, Tong cai is also known as preserved cabbage....
Small pieces, brownish in color, come in small package or some come in small rounded, clay container....

Yes, try it......very easy to cook this dish.....

:thankyou:

if no time to panfry the minced pork, can scatter it on the tofu/egg mixture to steam too

Yes, steam together is even much easier but panfry the minced pork with tong cai will give a better taste....

Dinner was chicken porridge which came back up due to migraine. So in the end all I could stomach was a small cup of milo.

Or my granma will buy soft tofu from the market, make a crevice in the tofu, add the portion that she dug out into the mince meat and tong cai mixture, place chunks of mince meat into the crevice of the tofu, and steam.


think this tong cai is a rather teochew thingy. I dun quite like it though.

Yeah! One of my favourite dish.... Teochew people like tong cai, add in the soup, mince in the pork etc....

Oh...u have tried the exact version of this tofu dish b4, with the tong cai?
Most will juz cook this dish without tong cai....

I read that tong cai is also one of the impt ingred in thai recipe... :roll:
but i yet to try it with thai recipe.....

Though i am not teochew, i like tong cai for adding into soup...
like fish ball soup with tang hoon or mee suah soup...
And also minced pork steamed with tong cai....simple and yummy!!

As the tofu dish which i recommended tastes quite bland....
With the addition of minced pork fry with tong cai will complement it.....

Thank you dearie. All better. Painkillers and a cold dark room helps. Good thing I have black out curtains.

Haha....think most women cannot stand oily floor.... :hi5:

I will also mop the floor first b4 taking my dinner while they are eating.....
