It was totally a bad experience for all Sabahan (including me) for the past two weeks. The first ever earthquake in Malaysia took place at the our most popular tourist spot, the Mount Kinabalu on the 5th of June at 6.0 magnitudes. I was alone at home and was in the middle of preparing to go out when it happened. I thought I was not well and collapsing and at that particular moment I felt like the house is going to turn upside down and I started to hear people screaming and strong running footsteps from my apartment. Without hesitation, I grabbed my handbag and ran out of my apartment too. Once I was out of the eight storey building and managed to get hold of my husband on the mobile, whom also experienced the same tremor in his office and had confirmed it was an earthquake.
The aftershock had caused my health level went down tremendously, even until now was not fully recovered. Same goes to my appetite has dropped too. Suddenly this dish pop-up in my head - steamed pork-patty with salted egg yolk. I remembered this was what my late mom always like to prepare for me when I am not well and it was suppose to go together with plain rice porridge.
I grown-up from a very conservative Chinese family and I have been always explored with traditional Chinese cooking. Steaming pork patty is one of them. It was always blended with either preserved vegetables, salted fish, etc., but the most I liked was when it matched with salted egg yolk. The minced meat is preferably self-chopped, as then it will produce good tenderness on the patty. This dish will perfectly go well with plain rice or rice porridge and is simple to prepare. I promise you will love it very much like I do!
