Specialty Meats

At a relative's house today, we were served their household specialty, that is meat rolls and smoked meats.

Meat Rolls

The meat rolls are compact and dry, and yet they are not hard or tough. It takes a lot of skills and experience to make meat rolls such as these.

Smoked meats is not commonly found, and it could tempt the most health conscious eaters to try at least a morsel or two. Lol.

Well, it's been quite a while since we ate the meat rolls and smoked meats prepared by this Auntie. When she used to stay at the old house, she made them every Lunar New Year so that when we visited, we would be ensured that we were served some.

Smoked Pork Belly

Indeed, we would lavish her with praises after after relishing the meats with gusto!

Since her move to her new house, she had stopped smoking meats until 2 years ago when she renovated her kitchen and got a special stove made for her to smoke meats.

Pickles

This year, she served the meats with some pickles on the side.

Well, it was a surprise for us, but indeed, we enjoyed ourselves lots, savouring flavours from the past while catching up with the present.
