Network Cooking

Many hidden cooks and bakers were born during the MCO period. Eating out had been removed from the equation, so people had begun to re-enter the kitchen, willingly or unwillingly. From BIL's Unit Tindak Kinrara (UTK) network, we often had home-cooked goodies on a daily basis. Someone would could bakzhang on Saturday, and it would be distributed to the other households. On the next day, it might be dongpo meat, charsiew, chiffon cake, or egg tarts. People would take turns showing off their culinary skills. Mum had contributed deep-friend niangao, while BIL whipped up his mother's chicken rice recipe. It was really fun getting a surprise dish nearly every day.
