Childhood Meals
Today I whipped up dishes which reminds me of my childhood days. Since young, my beloved grandma would take care of me while my mama was teaching. Hence, dinner is always prepared by my grandma. I love this whenever she prepares it. But it's quite unhealthy cuz it's alittle salty. Usually when I make this, I would add alittle of each sauce to balance the taste.
Another dish by her which will stay dearly in my heart.

Stir Fry Beansprouts with Onions may be simple & easy to prepare, but yet, this is one vegetable dish that my mama would buy for me for lunch whenever she gets to knock off early from school.

Stuffs U Need:

1 red chilli, sliced thinly
3 sprigs scallions, sliced
