Finally got my fingers to set up Simple Pleasures


It is less than 24 hours to YTF (Yong Tau Foo) Masterclass with my Chi Mui, Lyn-ku's Mom. I am especially glad that Mrs Loh has agreed to show us her secrets to a good ole' home made meaty YTF. We hope to be able to master more of her receipes and in hope to pass them down to the next generation.

Tastes of our childhood seems to be deminishing at a rapid rate these days and it is horrifying to imagine that basic everyday food will come pre-packaged and massed produced in factories! 

Some people like Lyn and I refused to be fed with anything else but the real stuffs! (in 20 years time, if we are still with our molars!)

So, with this reason, this blog will serve as a personal diary of our discoveries in methods & techniques, of ingredients, on places and even stuffs or knick knacks that is of interest to us and maybe some of our readers.

Cheers!


Aunty May Yee, our Masterchef

Relaxing while we slave away....

    2. pls ask; if no small Tenggiri (Mackerel, right?); what other type of fish would be suitable? I am in Papua New Guinea and I don't think they have Tenggiri except the super big ones that they cut up in chunks like Tuna!! :(

    3. Hi Rona,
      Spanish Mackerel is not a small fish. The best fish is the SPOTTED MACKEREL, next is toufu fish and some bloggers reported 3rd best being the yellow tail jook chim (barracuda).

      Select white fish with very firm meat. You have pollock or cod there?
