This is no ordinary porridge. It’s made with Ipoh’s famous Salted Chicken, or Yim Kook Kai in Cantonese. I bought Aun Kheng Lim’s Yim Kook Kai for dinner yesterday. My dear friend, Pat, told me to save the bones as it makes great chicken stock and also porridge. I decided to make porridge with it first.

You cant see much chicken bits in this pics as i walloped them all yesterday, lol. Whatever’s left is also mixed well as the porridge is being cooked. For added sweetness, i also added a few dried scallops to it. You can see the brown bits in this pic. The aroma of “Tong Kwai” is still strong though there’s only a few bits in the porridge. The taste? HEAVENLY!!!!!!!!

This is the box of Aun Kheng Lim’s Salted Chicken. As the shop is situated along a busy road, forget about parking your car. Actually, you dont need to as the workers there are always standing outside the shop to hand you your Salted Chicken. Just wind down your window and show them your fingers, lol.

Those of you planning for your baby’s fullmoon, do note that you can get them to prepare fullmoon packs for you to distribute to friends and family members. I did that on Malcolm’s fullmoon. The shop’s address is No 24, Jalan Theatre, 30300 Ipoh, Perak. Tel/fax: 605-2542998.

Aun Kheng Lim’s Yim Kook Kai comes wrapped in baking paper. It’s stated on the box that it’s best you steam it for 5 minutes before you unwrap it. Me, i heck care. Who has the patience to wait, horrr. Eat lah. I love it best with Ipoh’s Lan Fah Soy Sauce. Since i dont have any at home, i used Kikkoman instead. MMmMMmM mm MmMmM m mmMMm mM HAH!!!! Caught you salivating. Faster go buy some.

I keep telling myself if i buy recipe books and yet, never put them to good use, then it’s good money wasted. That’s why, i always make it a point to make use of it at least once before it goes and live on my bookshelf forever, lol. I do have quite a lot of recipe books. And yes, they’ve all been used at least once by yours truly before, k.

This morning, i woke up quite early to work on my blogs. Gordon woke up shortly after and asked for a cheese sandwich. The box of Cookie Baking Kit i bought recently is still lying on my desk. And so, i told myself to take it to the kitchen and come up with something for him really quick. Or else, he’ll go wake up Monster Malcolm.

Of course i wont be baking cookies now as i dont even have the basic ingredients needed for that. Well, at least i can still use them on Egg Toast. The loaf of bread is one day past it’s expiry date and just right for making Egg Toast, one of Gordon’s favorite breakfast. Aiya…. whatever has egg in it, he’ll like, period. Here are just some of the pics i took as i played with my new baking toys.

This is the Gingerbreadman and Fish Cookie Cutter. The Gingerbreadman Cookie Cutter is Gordon’s favorite, and also the thing that made me buy it in the first place, lol. You can buy Gingerbreadman Cookie Cutters online here.

Gordon told me the Bird Cookie Cutter is a dog!!!! Does it look anything like a dog to you????? And the Star shaped one is self-explanatory.

And here’s the Heart and Round Cookie Cutter. They fit perfectly on one slice of bread….. phew.

Here’s what i ended up with after playing in the kitchen for 15 minutes. I used the remainder of the egg to make Egg Sheet. Can you tell which of these are made with Egg Sheet.

And here’s a happy Gordon chomping down on the Cookie Cutter Egg Toast as he plays with the PSP. Today must be his lucky day :p
