My daughters are different from many kids. While most kids (even adults!) squirm at eating chicken feet, my girls LOVE them. Joey, especially, is so expert at eating chicken feet that she can lick it clean and spit out every tiny bone. Amazingly good skills. Now Baby Jayne is slowly catching on though she can’t chew on the chicken feet directly yet. So we peel off the flesh for her to eat.
Their favourite soup has got to be the chicken feet, peanut & black bean soup. They can both eat large bowls of rice whenever we cook this soup for their meals.
And I’m sure you have already heard me mention this before – Joey LOVES bitter Chinese medicine. While most kids need to be forced to swallow those bitter goodness, my Joey adores drinking them. She eats the Park Poh Powder from Eu Yan Seng twice to three times a week. The bitter powder has to be dissolved in a tablespoon of water and swallowed. Torturous for most, but delicious to Joey. It’s very weird, I know, but I am thankful of course. This bitter goodness makes her sleep much better at night and brings down low grade fevers caused usually by fatigue.
Besides downing Chinese medicine on a regular basis, Joey loves snacking on ginseng slices. These are expensive, so we usually give only one or two slices everyday. It’s delicious according to her. =X
One of Joey’s favourite desserts is the Black Sesame Paste.. Another weird choice because most kids would have been turned away by the black colour. But she likes it anyhow.
She was so cheeky, wanting to create a moustache with the paste!
She loves black sesame paste just like Daddy. =D
It is obvious the girls take after Daddy who loves bitter stuffs as well. As for Mummy, I hate bitter stuffs. Thank you but no thanks.
