Will He Be Proud Of Me?
I am a Hainanese, I've seen my Papa cooked chicken rice many times but I have never tried cooking it myself. I took for granted my dad will cook it whenever I want to eat.
Before he was very ill, I just have to give him a call when my kiddos & I think of his chicken rice and the next day, he delivered it to us. He's so sweet.... We are so spoilt by him. I miss him dearly... His cooking too. His mutton soup & chicken rice are the BEST!
He often said I should learn this coz I'm a Hainanese but I laughed and said "No need! You cook for me when I want to eat it." Sigh... After so many years, my mom knows how to cook this dish too but somehow, it is just different from my dad's. I dare not ask my mom to cook this for us nowadays, knowing how emotional she is.
I cooked chicken rice today... As I was cooking it, I teared.... I wonder if he will be proud that I am learning how to cook this dish?
