Chinese Style Rice Porridge

Yesterday, my entry was about MOM, I AM HUNGRY!! Well today, the words are more or less the same but with a great different meaning.

My entry today is about MY MOM IS HUNGRY!

In the first situation... it is the kids asking for food. But in the second one, it is my mom's dish that I have to prepare. Mom is still on soft diet and being a not creative kind of person, I have to google for new recipes. What will I do without the internet! Huhu.. it's not only me who will suffer but also my mom who will have no choice but to survive on the same taste everyday! Hahaha....

Anyway, for today, I've decided to try something from my favourite forum... FORUM CARI (where my journey in this cyberworld actually starts!). Thank you to Dealova_fan for the recipe.
