Dad’s Homecooked Dishes

I love my dad’s cooking. He has no training from anyone yet he can whip up a hurricane for all of us, anytime. He enjoys cooking and he is the chef at home. My mum, she’s the baker. So when we are back at my parents in Ipoh, all of us get to enjoy the best of both worlds – my dad’s homecooked dishes and my mum’s cakes, pies, homemade jams, our all-time favorite homemade kaya, homemade English soups and homemade breads.

My dad cooked these dishes during our recent trip back to Ipoh:

Stir fried petai (stinky beans) with prawns and minced meat…


Pan-fried salmon fish…


Steamed cod fish…


Super smooth Ipoh tofu with minced pork, chopped spring onions and soy sauce…


His famous turmeric chicken which is everyone’s favorite…


Braised fish maw, mushrooms and dried scallops…. and also a pot of very tasty chicken and dried seafood soup (not in picture).

Gosh, my tummy is already rumbling away as I am typing this post and I’m sure yours is too eh, heheheehe….
