She took care of us the best she could

Today's WhatsApp message between my Brother who lives in Melbourne and my Sister who lives in Malaysia:

Brother's message to Sister:  "Wan Lan - do you remember how to cook Ah Poh's roasted pig skin with pineapple soup? 
                                     
Sister's reply to Brother:  THou, it is not a soup. It is a fried dish with some gravy. You fry some garlic, put in the pineapple pieces and fry. Add a bit of water and let it simmer for a while. When pineapple is soft put in the soaked skin pieces.  Add salt, tomato sauce and cut red chillies and let it simmer.until the skin is soft enough."  (Later this version of the recipe was disputed by  Brother.  In the end he cooked his own version of how he thought Mother cooked and he said it turned out almost similar).

After so many years our taste buds still yearn for Mother's cooking.  Even though we did not have a lot she took care of the family the best she could.

Brother sent this picture of his final product
