Wet Market Incident

Previous years, I never like going to wet market to buy veggies and meat as I consider one of the scariest place to go. After forcing myself to wet market, I find the stuff in market are fresher and worthy to buy than in supermarkets. But the sellers know that I'm not a C-Lai who knows the right price to bargain.

But this morning, I went to the pork stall....as I wanted to cook stewed pork with dried oysters and fatt choi (sea moss). I was splattered with pig blood TWICE when the butcher accidentally place the pork slab on the wet table twice. My front blouse was filled with red dots....thank goodness the blood didn't splattered on my face...if not...I will be running like a crazy woman to my car without the pork.

I follow this recipe to cook my favourite dish, it took me 2 hours to cook it:
