You may wonder what this is (ie the hard, yellowish, weird looking creatures in the pics below)...well, they are the precious from my dad...it's the fish bladder...you will have to bake it, then soak it, then clean it and then cook it and it will end up like sponge..don't get me wrong, they are superlicious!!! especially the way my mum cooks it..yummy..she will cook her own chicken stock from kampung chicken (ie freelance chicken), then she will add in dried scallops, throw in chinese cabbage, fresh fish balls made by her own hands, then the fish bladder and cook it for a few hours...tada, then you have the soup!! more like a meal to me... :) gosh, now i realized how much i miss mum's home cooked meals...
that day, mum was trying to make the soup for me and dad suggested mum to cook those things hanging on the wall...why it needs permission? coz my dad paid a considerable amount of money to purchase those...yup, i know they are not cheap coz i have seen the cheap ones, they look like, hmmm, pig skin...that day, dad came to the kitchen, took one of the creatures down and gave to my mum...i was very touched :') i felt loved ^^ i asked dad and mum why we have the creatures hanging all over the kitchen and storerooms...the answer made me laughed so hard that i almost roll on the floor laughing ("ROFL'')....mum said dad did that on purpose coz of the following:
- The creatures were very expensive and if you hang them together, it would draw attention to people, and would start planning on ways to steal them...
- in case there were uninvited guests in the house, not all creatures would be taken away if we put them in different locations...this is what i called diverting attention
hhmm..hopefully, the uninvited guests would not even know their value!!! i just thought it was cute and not without logic...it just looks kinda funny to have this hanging around the house and to some people, they just don't look so valuable..now i know~~~~
