It's just diagonal to the Mosque that is at the junction of Changi Road and Jalan Masjid.


Opens 5pm to 4am only. Also serves ter kah chor and the red wine chicken. Can't comment about the last 2 but the mee suah was superb...mebbe I drank up all that soup so now nursing bad throat. πŸ˜‰

I don't use coarse salt at home. Used only the refined salt, so I use that for washing. I use a lot though, and rub it without adding too much water initially, then rinse once I'm done with that. While doing the rubbing, I will also tear / cut off the fatty pieces sticking around.


For cooking, I usually put it in boiling water to cook for 10mins, then drain it. This will remove most smell. Cut it up to put in pepper soup to cook (boil the pepper soup 1st and it taste better if the pepper soup is boiled with some pork ribs or the big pork bones).

Try it out and tell me your results! Enjoy!
My mom will also add some cornstarch to get rid of the \"oiliness\" after washing out with salt. She use the papaya leaves if she can get some to do this job too, supposedly to tenderise the stomach too.

Then she actually will \"fried\" it in a hot dry wok w/o oil/water, this is to \"seal\" the outer layer, then she put a lot (a handful of each type) of cracked black and white peppercorns into the stomach before slow cooking it for like 6 to 8 hours.

She will add a whole chicken (best if can get kampung one= organic) to the last hour of cooking to add flavour.

I had like 1 carton (about 8kg) of ginger, 6 bottles of wine, 6 pig trotters, 10 chickens, lots and lots of fish, 1 set of kidneys, quite a few pork loins, kgs of spinach/kailan/broccoli, trays of eggs (I had about avg 2 eggs per day) etc.

I love confinement food, which my mom cook for us even on a monthly basis (chicken/pig stomach soup, ginger trotters, sesame, ginger and wine kidney/pork/chicken) . :drool:
I think if I were to still eat in such a manner, will be hitting the 150kg mark.

BusyB:



I luv pig stomach pepper soup too. Don't know how to clean, so get the clean one from supermarket. Just need to go back and wash a little more with salt. It is much cleaner than those bought from market.

BusyB, thanks for the pointer. Would buy it from the supermarket then. Coarse salt or the refined one we use for cooking? TIA!

Got a bit of smell but when eaten still ok. The other delicacy is the hong zao chicken. Yummy!

Can cause urination pain. Just a caution to share, whether true or not I am not sure. I guess if you have urination pain, just reduce the amount you drink and it will probably go away.

Oh. Thanks Andaiz. So, the mother can have time alone in the house with the baby, to get her familiar with her face and looks?

yeah, and the smell -oooh, the baby smell makes me laugh...as you can tell, I'm one of those mummy's who kiss their baby till grandma has to clean their cheeks every few hours πŸ˜‰

Muffins:

What's confinement? TIA. πŸ˜„


Muffins, it is that time a new mother is \"confined\" to her house in a bid to recover from childbirth. This is usually one month but may be anytime from 3 weeks up to 40 days depending on the prevailing culture.

Apparently too, it is the period the mother is considered \"unclean\" but me? I take it as a time to recover and to bond with the babe.

Think the Chinese phase is zuo yue. Hope that helps.

I'm having confinement now & I really enjoy the food. Fav is the black vinegar pig trotters!


So what's your fav? πŸ˜‰

This is my fav too! Used to buy from the stall at Sim Lim square but it has since moved away. My only supply now is mum's, but too far away to enjoy regularly. Anyone knows where I can find this?

I love all food related to confinment. Lots of ginger, lots of saseme oil ... yummy !! :love:

yup.. me too! me too! :lol: My fave was stir-fried chicken with ginger and sesame oil.

Actually I was very fortunate during my confinement. My mom helped to take care of me when I had DD1 and MIL took care of me when I had DD2.

Sorry.. the following is not about confinement food, but still related to the confinement period:

KopiYing, if you can, u shd try getting a massage lady to your place to give you post-natal massage. I did that for DD2 and it really helped with the \"wind\" problem. The massage also helped to soothe my backache problems and I felt that my body recovered much faster with my second pregnancy. :celebrate:
