I need to know all this for sure --- PRONTO!

Technically, I'll have about 1 month before I have to pack my stuff and move to Adelaide.
Yup...bye bye to mom's cooking, bye bye to serviced residence (ya..ok, I'm a teeny bit spoiled at home, hehe....), the convenience of having a car, yeah and quality family hang out time (I'm so going to miss our weekly bakuteh pig out session....even though I complained about it all the time).

Since I still have not gotten the list of things to do/prepare from my employer/relocator/visa agent/shipping consultant......I literally have not much to prepare at the moment.

And food...sigh....is the only think I'm worried about. And I need to learn or perfect my cooking skills for the following dishes before I moved. These dishes....need to taste just as it is....or else, I might die from craving for it!!

Mom's Hakka Specialty
1) Preserved Spinach (Tung Choy) with Mince Pork

2) Mashed Beancurd with mince pork and fish paste
(Ok, i know this doesn't sound very appetizing, but trust me, you can easily eat 3 bowls of rice with this....I did, when I was a kid la, now a bit conscious about my weight...)
3) Hakka Yong Tau Foo
4) Mui Choy with Pork Belly

(There, Mom cooked this today....and I managed to snap a pic before all the hungry souls at the table gobble it up!! DELICIOUS.....)

5) Fried Pork Braised with Black Fungus (Char yoke...)

Mom's Specialty
1) Steamed Pork ribs with Fermented Soy Bean

6) Hainanese Chicken Rice

10) Ginger Duck
11) Radish Cake - Steamed
12) Yam cake - Steamed
13) Nian Gao...
14)Mom's Omelette with Prawn and Onions...

(Mom cooked this too....and its like the best ever....you can't find it outside..coz Mom makes the omelette sorta juicy and the onions and prawn bring in a tinge of sweetness ....)
