I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

Frugality On Our Daily Food or Meals??? (2)


Read? Frugality On Our Daily Food or Meals???

Hey! Are you Teochew?

This morning ...

Got new stall? 

Okay lah. Give new business owner a chance to survive.

So Uncle8888 has his bak chang breakfast at new Nonya Kueh and Bak Chang stall near Kovan coffeeshop where the famous Teochew fish soup stall is located.

Hmm..

Nonya bak chang $3.60 and Teochew bak chang ( 潮州双拼肉粽) $4.00

See the difference between the two type of  bak chang

Nyonya Bak Chang Recipe (娘惹粽 Rice Dumplings)

 

Filling Ingredients

 

Fatty Pork and Dried Shiitake Mushrooms


Teochew bak chang ( 潮州双拼肉粽) 


Filling Ingredients

 

Pork leg meat 前腿肉, chestnuts 栗子, Chinese mushrooms 香菇, dried shrimps 虾米, dried scallops 瑶柱, dried oysters 耗干, salted eggs 咸蛋, ginger 姜, garlic 蒜, shallot 葱头 and red bean paste 红豆沙. Teochews include red bean paste into dumplings to give a balance of sweet and salty taste and this type of the dumplings is called 双拼 or 2 flavours. 




So Uncle8888 being a Teochew; he ordered Teochew bak chang and paid $0.40 more.


So being Teochew. Not frugal?










Now, look at steam fish cooking style ....

Hong Kong style steam fish








 







Teochew style steam fish
















Walau!

Why add in more ingredients to steam a fish and add more costs?


So being Teochew. Not frugal?

    Conclusion : Teochew are not as frugal.

    The older generation are also less frugal than the younger blogger generation! hahaha

    1. Think so.

      Typical Teochew dessert Yam Paste With Gingko Nuts (Orh Nee 银杏芋泥) is more expensive than common dessert served at Dinner e.g. Red bean paste
