Thankks for posting the picture of the CHK Kweiln Chili Sauce. Yes, this is the interesting penguin logo that left a lasting impression in my memory. It's easy to find Lee Kum Kee cooking sauces in California, but not CHK :(
I am ashamed to admit I didn't really cook when I was growing up in Hong Kong. I remembered CHK because of its unique penguin logo. Another local brand I remembered is the Amoy brand which is still around. In those days, one could buy small portions of sauces from the grocery store instead of whole jars or bottles. The shopkeeper would ladle the amount of sauce desired by the customer into a small plastic bag tied with built-in pink plastic draw strings. Other cooking ingredients were sold in similar ways. One of my fond memories is my late father would always slip me a lump of rock sugar as sweet treat when we stopped by these grocery stores stacked with rows of bins, buckets and jars filled with cooking ingredients of all kinds.
All these brand names of Chili Sauce & 蜆介醬can not be found here in U.S. These companies are very old fashioned, they did not care about the oversea market. All we can buy are the soy sauce & shrimp paste are manufactured by Lee Kum Kee. They are more aggressive. Even many white & black American people know about LEE KUM KEE.
Another question is : Did you soak this 2 packs of dried noodle in "Hot Water"? Or you soaked them in cold tape water?
Turkey bone & meat are good for cooking soup, but too rough to eat.
My hometown is Sunnyvale in Northern California, nicknamed "Heart of the Silicon Valley". We have a huge Asian community here. It's easy to find authentic grocery markets catering to the Chinese, Indian, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean and other SE Asian populations. Close to my home there are tea houses serving high quality dim sum, Kee Wah Bakery selling HK style buns and pastries, Ranch 99 and Marina supermarkets selling live fish, Char Siu and roast ducks, HK style cafes serving milk tea and fast food style rice plates, Shanghainese restaurants serving Siu Lung Bao and potstickers, Japanese supermarket selling fresh sushi, Korean tofu houses and BBQ restaurants ... almost you name it, we got it. In the 1980's we had to go to San Francisco Chinatown if we craved for Chinese food. Now it's so convenient I can make a phone call and pick up a Chinese to-go in around 10 minutes. On top of these favorable factors, our weather is perfect! We have s
unny skies most of the time, with summer not too hot and winter not too cold. The only disadvantage is the sky-rocketing housing prices. The monthly rent of a one bedroom apartment near Apple Computer Headquarters in our neighboring town Cupertino is asking for $2,600, and all the houses are easily over one million in our whole area.
Thanks a lot for your information. For all these past 34 years, I either ate either at those Tao San people restaurants or cooked myself some "TV Dinner" with the oven. Now, it changed to Micro- Wave Dinners".
See it clear, that was why I got my Prostate Gland Cancer in 2004.Therefore, cook naturally for your family *& get your "Annual Check Up", to monitor your body system.
You are far better than my own son, Lonnie, who is working for his doctorate degree(PHD) in Tennessee. Remember the old song: "Tennesse Waltz," that is the state where my son is living now.
The most important thing to help you stay away from "Cancer"by cooking your food naturally.
正! 流口水.............

回覆刪除What about Alhambra?

Hello, 我既做法係將乾麵餅浸入凍水中，將佢完全浸開，然後瀝乾水。就可以加入調味料，事先撈勻，靜置一陣等佢入味，然後再落油撈勻。
回覆刪除做好以上之後，就燒熱隻易潔鑊，放少少油，再落麵，轉中慢火，半煎半炒，唔駛大兜大炒，因為事先已經撈好晒味同材料。就咁慢火煎炒至乾身，就食得。
Don't soak them in hot water, otherwise they will be overcooked.
回覆刪除Just soak them in cold tape water.
Good evening in L.A.
