The weather here is getting warmer. I am not feeling well, have no appetite to eat anything fancy. Since today is our vege day, I made something light and easy - pumpkin congee and kiam chai (pickled mustard). Simple delicious!

这几天气温比较高了...没什么胃口.., 既然今天是初一, 不吃肉, 就煮简单和清淡一点吧...

南瓜粥配素炒酸菜, 酸菜还蛮开胃的....我和TOM一天里面竟然把一大碗的酸菜给扫光了...呵呵..
我喜欢用南瓜来褒粥, 吃起来有点甜甜棉棉的...健康又美味!

  4. I really, really like such simple meal! Once a while when I have no idea what to cook for lunch, I always fall back to plain porridge with pickled stuff. Next time, I'll put in pumpkins (hopefully from my garden as I've just planted pumpkin seeds yesterday ;). Hope you feeling better already!
