We were both at the supermarket. We both saw the packet of habaneros. We decided to buy it and bring it back home with us.

I wasn’t an easy teenager to bring up in the past. I used to really dislike it when my parents cook certain dishes at home for us to eat. Teochew fish porridge was one of those dishes in the list. I have always thought it boring and tasteless. But of course, I didn’t tell my father that.


The amazing thing about baby food is that adults can eat them too. In fact, they can actually taste really nice and interesting, not to mention they are usually very healthy too.


It was December last year that I first visited the ‘Andong Jjimdak’ restaurant at the Raffles City place to eat this supposedly famous dish from Korea. My first thought when I saw the dish approaching was that the serving looked huge. It immediately reminded me of the Korean drama ‘Let’s Eat!‘ which featured the characters gobbling up similar such dishes (first episode). Apparently, the Koreans love eating from huge plates of meat and vegetable dishes as well as large bowls of soup and the like. Such communal practices are not dissimilar to our Chinese culture (think steamboat and yusheng).
