MY MUM'S COOKING

 I am sure that many of you would agree with me that there is something special about our mothers' cooking.  Though it may be a simple dish that she has whipped up, the taste would be distinctly hers.  One of my mum's special dishes is her Potato cooked with shrimps and eggs. It is quite a simple dish really.  She peels the potatoes, cuts them into cubes.  Beats two eggs and also cut the shrimps into cubes as well.  Then she fries some shallots and garlic, then add the potatoes, shrimp, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce and water and cook until the potatoes soften. After that she adds salt to taste.  I know how to cook the dish but somehow hers always taste better. 
When I was younger, my mum would fashion the cooked potatoes into a heart shape and decorate them with some vegetables before serving them.  Nowadays, she does not add the decorative touch.  The finishing touches to the dish in the picture was done by me.
