Mixed of Hawker Fare and Home Cooked Food

Dinner was a mixed affair today, my uncle bought stewed pig's trotters in soy sauce from the Whampoa Hawker Center. I made a small batch of sambal belacan with calamansi lime skin to go with the pig's trotters shiok but watch the cholesterol level.
I added half roast chicken from Chuen Chuen Chicken Rice at the Longhouse on Upper Thomson Road, for Lilik as she can't eat pork (read all about the foodie heaven along Upper Thomson Road, my back yard). As we were a tad too heavy in the meat department, I got Lilik to fry up the ridged luffa with garlic for fibre. I made sticky rice with mango and rubies in coconut milk for my sweet ending. Lilik pigged out on sticky rice with mango, the helper has a sweet tooth.
