It is Friday again. Time to drink tea with friends in JB. Our good friend Kai Fong is still busy with works in KL. No news from him so far.
What do we drink on Friday? We used to drink beer in pubs. Now, we drink glass after glass of Chinese ice tea besides eating and chit chat.
Kok Mun bought quite a bit of vegetable for our tea drinking session today. Half of kg of cauliflower and half a kg of Romanesco broccoli. All imported from China. By the way, China is the largest producer of cauliflower in the world. What happen to our Cameron Highlands farms?
Today, Kok Mun also brought a bag of eryngii or king oyster mushroom (새송이버섯,Saesongyi Beoseot) with big stem imported from Korea. In Korean, mushroom is called beoseot. Of course, Seasongyi is eryngii.
Since the mushroom has such big stem, I guess it is the stem that you eat.
The shrimp fried rice today was poorly done. I nearly wanted a refund.
The eryngii tasted wonderful. The taste was like shiitake, although it was the stem that we ate.
Steamed Squid. Kok Mun commented that the cooking of this dish is most consistent.
1 kg of cauliflower + Romanesco broccoli. Guess, we will have more than enough fibre for today.
