As okra is selling so expensive in Melbourne market, I hardly cook any okra dishes. (A$ 11.99/KG) I personally loved okra so much, but when it comes to $$, I would hold on to it and wait until I go back to Malaysia for okra dishes. I still remember the "Four Heavenly King" dish - 四大天王, a.k.a Stir Fried Sambal with Okra, Pedai, winged bean and long bean, which is so popular among the restaurants in Malaysia.

Finally, I bought some okra last week, around 20pcs costed me A$1.30 just for my Assam Fish Curry.

Cousin YS handed me this recipe quite sometimes ago, finally I found time to try it out myself in Melbourne. It is one of the traditional dishes we used to cook during festive season especially the Reunion Chinese New Year Dinner. This dish used to be in charged by Grandma, has lately transfered to Uncle CM. Chinese call it "Lou" means cook with the herbs. I cook chicken feet, pork belly and egg this time. The traditional one that uncle cooks usually is using chicken and duck.

YS's birthday is just near the corner. I have been practicing to make some cupcakes when I stay at home during the weekdays. Hopefully more practice will lead to a better taste of cupcake when the time comes. We still have not decided if we are going to hold a party for our boy however we definitely will prepare him a birthday cake and snap photos.
