Jinny,
Fish maw is dried foodstuff. It did not smell weird. I guess it is still edible.

Charlyn,
Hou si fatt choy? Nice huh.

Hou Si Fatt Choy:

Peter, what exactly about this dish (prep or ingredients) makes it health-wise undesirable (but sinfully delicious) for you renal health? Is it the roast pork or the oil/frying?

If so, you might like to try having this treat dianxin style.

I had it for my reunion dinner in delightful bite-sized oval shapes of steamed fish paste nuggets each hiding the buried treasure of an oyster.

Replace the roast pork with fish paste, sauces with chicken broth and frying with steaming. Instead of all that sauce, braise the steamed fish paste nuggets in chicken broth.

Yumm…. Scrumptious ‘little touches to the heart’!!!

(dianxin literally means ‘to touch the heart’)

Arusa,
Apart from roasted pork which is seasoned with salt-based marinate, there are the oyster sauce and mushrooms both of which are high in the taboo list. Dimsum is also something I should avoid for its abundant use of prawns and meat. As far as possible, I have to avoid sauces and seafood too.

if i still wasn’t sick, i would actually try and cook “hou si fatt choy” but thanks to my supreme omnipotent skill i’m frightened that the hospitals in the petaling-kl-klang area wont have enough rooms for the victims of my culinary powers.

Peter!
I was looking for you this Sunday morning but too bad, you miss my ang pow! I had read this post for a few days oredi and don’t know what to say, hence the silence. But this came to my mind last Friday (World Sick Day) when I was at church for Way of the Cross, So I hope you find strength with this verse:
“Cry, and the Lord will answer
call, and he will say, ‘I am here.”
Isaiah 58:9
Take care, Peter.
