Secret recipe

I found out a sad news yesterday.. :( One of my friend lost her mother. I was really very shocking, how can someone leaves so suddenly? Life is so vulnerable ya? I found out when I was stalking her fb. :X Tears rolled down when I saw the msges she left one her mum's wall. Every words touches my heart, every words aches my heart. I used to stay near her and knows how close she was with her mum, her mum was like her bff. Really felt so upset for her. :( But she is much stronger than I would imagine. I admire her courage, her braveness. I starts to put myself in her shoes and think if I'm her would I be as strong as her? And I started to cry harder. NO! I don't want this to ever happen!!! :'( I don't wanna even think about it. Call yourself coward Lirong! 

Sigh.. Life is really too unpredictable right? So I'm constantly reminding myself to cherish the ppl around me and love them like never before! But I feel that I taking more than giving to my family. I feel that I'm not doing enough for them. 

1. I feel disrespectful to them sometimes cox I'm that kind that is super 'mei da mei xiao' to my parents

2. I'm like a boss at home. :/ (I'm very different at home)

3. I always quarrel with my mum and regret after that. Becox of my impatient and hot temper. 

Despite these, my parents still love me and treats me like a queen and gave me anything that I want! I think it's also becox my parents pampered me too much that I become so 'mei da mei xiao'. :/ My brother never had the kind of 'queen' treatments from my parents though. :/ 

But I think I changed a lot as I matures, still not enough though. I will continue to improve myself to be a better daughter!!! :) 

Enough of my self reflection! haha! Anyway I realized almost every post that I write is to do with food. LOL! Says what? 

So there is no exceptional for this too. :P 

Last night I commented that I miss having my family's secret recipe - vegetable meatballs! And mum did it for me today. :') 

Never seen it elsewhere right? It's exclusively the Sun family's secret recipe! :p

I love this as much as I love pumpkin. HAHA! But this is tedious to make so I don't dare asking my mother to make every week. :/ 

Super lots of ingredients involved!

1. pumpkin

2. yam

3. onions

4. carrots

5. radish

6. garlic

7. onion spring

8. water chestnuts

9. pork belly

All the vegetables you have to skin them and shred into these tiny strips. Now you know it's so tedious? Plus the onions always make my mum tear like mad. :/ 

Give all the ingredients a good mix

Followed by 15 cups of potato flour. You see right, my house actually have huge containers of potato flour! I'm a carbohydrate-sucker! :/ 

Potato flour to 'cement' all the ingredients together into a ball.

Steam and ready to serve hot! :)

An old photo of my 80 yrs old ah ma making this delicious meatballs for me. :') Ah Ma I miss you! 

Dip with the super nice bibimbap sauce that I bought!

I can eat this forever, really love this lots.

But I love my family more for loving me even more!
:)
