This morning’s breakfast was Pao aka Chinese Steamed Buns with Peanuts.

Oh, I didn’t make the buns! I bought them at the wet market yesterday morning.

As I didn’t know if this Mr. Cheah liked the Pao or not, I only bought two. In case he didn’t like them, I only needed to eat two and not three or four.

Phew, he ate one and a half peanut buns while I ate half bun only! Thank God.

Speaking of Chinese buns, I prefer Char Siew Pao aka Char Siew Bao or Char Siu Bau more than any other paos.

Oh, Char Siew Pao is called Cantonese barbecue pork buns!

I’ve got to go do marketing now. See you. By the way, do you why I go to the wet market every day? For exercise purposes. ;-)

Hubby had half bowl of rice and Lap Cheong aka Chinese sausage for his breakfast. So heavy? What to do? He’s packed with 5 classes every Wednesday!

At 11 a.m., I will pack his lunch box with brown rice, Lap Cheong, Heong Mak Tam vegetable and steamed egg dish. Then, I will take it to his school which is only a minute’s walk away. So convenient, right?

The steamed egg dish that I prepared was added with tomatoes, so it’s Steamed Eggs with Tomatoes.

Ingredients:

3 eggs
2 tomatoes, cut into slices
Salt
Soy Sauce

Instructions:

1. Beat the eggs, salt and soy sauce in a metal bowl.

2. Place the bowl in the steamer and steam for 15 – 20 minutes.

Did I put the wrong photo? It doesn’t look like Steamed Eggs with Tomatoes at all. You see, I couldn’t find any photo of Steamed Eggs with Tomatoes, only Stir-Fried Eggs and Tomatoes. So, bear with it. :-)

Today and tomorrow I am not going to the wet market. My online assignments will come in this afternoon or tomorrow morning, so I want to focus on completing the assignments fast.

For tonight and tomorrow’s dinners, I am going to use up whatever ingredients and cooking materials I have in the kitchen. Once they are gone, I will replenish my pantry with fresh cooking materials.
