I <3 Char Sui, and the fish braised in chili bean sauce sounds delightfull. I think I need to make a trip to visit the family in Chicago after the babe is born just so I can get some decent food.
Also..we ordered Congee at a restaurant and it said it had eggs in it, never occured to me that it would be the 1000 year old eggs...bleah. Actually I was ok with it until Steve figured out what they were, I just though they were mushrooms :P So much for me being adventurous.
Do you have a good recipe for Wintermelon soup? I plan on growing them next year if I can con Steve in to making a melon patch, as I will be the size of a whale around planting time. My Po-Po used to grow them and they were the size of small toddlers :P I stole some seeds from her house after she passed, I just hope I can be as succesfull.
