Day 4 - March 13, 2012

Mom made sausage rice yesterday.  They were incredible!  Pieces of sweet Chinese sausages, chopped preserved ducks and cured pork cooked in white rice.  When cooked, the rice is full of the fragrant of the meat the the rice.  Mom made me eat two plates of it. I did not resist either.

Loon called up at 11 and invited me to Beef noodles soup.  Lilian and Sui Fun joined us at the Beach Street eatery.  We ordered a bowl of the beef soup each, plus an extra bowl of meat only soup for sharing -- a tradition started by Siew Kai.  On the side, we also have a plate of char kuay teow, which we shared and quickly devoured.

Soo Har had made plans last night to take me for seafood tonight.  We met up with Kong Chan, Kah Wah and his wife at the restaurant. It took a good 40 minutes to get to the restaurant, which is across the Channel.  On the way, we discussed education in the States.  Siew Hee (Soo Har's wife) is a retired school principal as well, so she was very interested in the primary education in the U.S.  We talked about Becky's school, and progressive education.  I thought what Becky has done was really valuable for the children and told them so. I described some of the projects Becky did with the children and Siew Hee was very impressed.
