Yes, still with the tofu. It's here to stay. <br /><br />Noodle - oh really? I didn't see anyone having one, but it was the middle of summer I suppose. I imagine the difficulties in getting goose makes it hard for Chiu Chow restaurants to spring up. <br /><br />GC - I like taro in those minced meat croquettes, just not for dessert. Weird floury texture. I wonder where you could get hold of baby oysters...?Hollow Legshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152329184111658897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148635935379992641.post-91115184720152088002010-06-24T00:08:58.783+01:002010-06-24T00:08:58.783+01:00I don't like taro either but love the sound of...I don't like taro either but love the sound of the baby oyster congee - just love the words "baby oyster"!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15550630880349913974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148635935379992641.post-61640348879118190292010-06-22T19:31:47.104+01:002010-06-22T19:31:47.104+01:00Sheung Hing is also really good for hotpots, they ...Sheung Hing is also really good for hotpots, they have the best cuts of beef for dipping into hotpots.

If you can find someone who reads Chinese, you might find it on the Chinese menu, as I'm sure my Dad has ordered some Chiu Chow dishes before.Mr Noodleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13327242172810414292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148635935379992641.post-64676549528739533162010-06-22T14:19:20.254+01:002010-06-22T14:19:20.254+01:00Fillyerboots - You never know...

I had a look at that Wikipedia link, very interesting indeed!

My mother used to cook some teochew things - her/our rice porridge is just as you describe - and it's still what I cook at home. I remember Tommy of Notes by Naive found the porridge at a little place in Chinatown. <br /><br />Great wikipedia article to it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teochew_cuisine<br /><br />Ohhhh...bak kut teh! You can get the spice bags to make that at home. Oh my goodness, this list is starting to read like a list from home: kueh chap, mee pok, kway teow tng, chwee kueh. Honestly, if you go to Singapore, you can get all of these things!<br /><br />I'm curious about those crystal ball things.
