A conversation during a family gathering over the weekend:-
Aunty Pao : Why you keep stirring the pot of red bean tongsui
so troublesome ..... just let it be laa..
Aunty Ng : Ok, if tat is what you want, I shall do no further.
Eric called out to his mum (aunty pao)
Eric: Mum, I am going down town to pick up my wife , you take
good care of my favourite tongsui for me, ok? I can't wait to
wallop when I get back.
Aunty Pao : Ok ! no problem..... small matter !
Left alone, the two aunties went to have a coffee break
chatting about their kids, health, weather, the rising
cost of living .. bla bla bla .....
SUDDENLY .....
Aunty Ng : sniff sniff... Pao Pao ... what is that burning smell ???
Aunty Pao : Oh Gosh !!! the hoong tau sui !!!!!! AIYAyayaya...
she quicky ran to the kitchen.... the red bean was all burnt and stuck
like a thick paste at the bottom of the pot.
Both of them wanted to cover up, so they transferred the
contents to another pot. Added more water, pandan leaves,
gula melaka ... and added in sago for creamy and smooth touch.
TADaaa !! ... when Eric came home
Eric: Mum how is the red bean tongsui ?
Aunty Pao : ermmm.. ok ledi.. we enhanced the flavour...
now very smooth, creamy and nice
Eric : helping himself to it.
Both aunties stared at him so hard.
Eric, after the third spoonful
It is nice .... but ...arrr.... take another sip slowly
...how come got a slight burn smell geh?
Aunty Pao : " got meh ....? "
Eric : looking at his mum ..( guessed something wrong
coz their expression is a dead giveaway ) .. continue saying,
"but THIS IS NICE... HO SIK !! GOOD !! got this little
kinda smell so it must be the beans are well cooked."
Both aunties : couldnt suppress their laughter
.. HAHAHA...... KAKAKA !!!!
Aunty Pao : "Opps... I am sorry dear. It was me. I stopped
Aunty Ng from stirring, then followed by our coffee break.
Both of us got carried away chit chatting and forgot
about it. Moreover, I didn't know that your set of
expensive steel pots heat up so fast.
Eric : Never mind la! ..mummy dearest. I sort of expected
that you will burn them lor, so I intended to present it to you.
Maybe, shouldn't have asked you two to jaga the pot for
me, coz both your names combined is ....
NG PAO!!! ...
KEKEKEE...
These two aunties, when they get together... sure got lots of
funny things happen wan !!!
