::glutonny::

you've been missing the malaysian teochew style chai kuey （菜粿) for the longest.  the jicama used to be accessible in the asian store but they have not make any appearance for months. you found your substitute for jicama which is a variety of dutch turnip called meiraap.  even then meiraap are missing from the weekly market lately. it's not till a friend got hold of two from a bigger daily market that you're able to make this again.

 you mil made some cantonese style chu cheong fun（猪肠粉）, they're suprisingly tender and soft and yummy too.

and the black sesame tang yuan (dumplings/黑芝麻汤圆) that you also missed occasionally especially during the colder days...
so you satisfied all gluttony at once as supper tonight. at least you no longer feel hungry or starving in the middle of the night.
