Sandakan....Here we come

The last time that I was in Sandakan must be more than 10 years ago. I couldn't believe that in 2 weeks time, I will be going to Sandakan - also known as the little Hong Kong (in the past). They serve good food and good food. I wonder how different is Sandakan now ????

One thing that I know is still famous is Orang Utan Santuary in Sepilok, can't wait to visit that - the last time (or the only time) that I was there was when I was 5, I could go up to the monkey and hold their hand.

Vinegar Pork Trotters

I just realised that it is quite easy to make "Black Vinegar Pork Trotters"......here is the recipe.

1 Pork Trotters (buy the front leg - sometimes they called it the hand of the Pork)
1 bottle of black vinegar
5 inches Old Ginger and smash it (if you don't want too spicy, replace some of the old ginger with young ginger)
2 pips Garlic
1 bowl of sugar (if you want nice fragrant, add some gula melaka)

Fry the Pork trotters that have been cut into bite size until the oil from the pork is sizzling. Pour in the black vinegar, ginger and garlic and bring to boil. After that just simmer for a while until the pork is soft and then add sugar to taste.

Isn't it easy???

You can also include some eggs in too. Make some hard boiled egg, peel off the shell and just aded to the pot.

I just realised that I have not visited this site for a long long time. Travelling did made a lot of distruption to life, I am glad that I can now stay at home for a while before I need to make some crazy lonely business trip. During these trips, I came to realised that the place you visited is not the same if you do not have the right company. Being in HK last month has a total different feel to my last year trip to HK with my hubby. Last month, I was sad and wish that I can leave and go back as soon as possible.

I was so glad that I can come home after 1 week....yes, it is only 1 week but tha feels like years......time flies so slowly when you are not enjoying yourself...hahah...after coming back, it took me a few weeks to get back to half of my routine and now this is more than a month later, I got to spend time on this site....sigh!!!!!!!
