About


My Mum's sui kow is awesome and the traditional way is to eat it with soup or deep fried.  A nights ago, I could not sleep and then my mind started to race with all kinds of food.  Then I craved for sui kow.  The first thing I got up the next morning is to ask Mum to go to the market to buy all the ingredients to make sui kow.  I told Mum I have an idea to use her sui kow in a Western way. I want to come up with a anti pasto with it. When we returned from the market, Mum started to make the sui kow and I started to experiment with the sauce to served with it.
