This was a dish that my Granny would make for me when I was younger and I remembered how I would always pick out the peas because I hated them (well, not anymore now), haha. She will probably be proud of me now that I’m eating my peas and cooking this dish that is very close in flavour to hers. I served the whole meal in enamelware that I bought from Hai Seng Porcelain in Chinatown. It’s just nostalgically comforting as though I’ve gone back to those good old days.
