Confinement Food

[mathsparks]

KopiYing:

I'm having confinement now & I really enjoy the food. Fav is the black vinegar pig trotters!


So what's your fav?

This is my fav too! Used to buy from the stall at Sim Lim square but it has since moved away. My only supply now is mum's, but too far away to enjoy regularly. Anyone knows where I can find this?

And how's your little precious, kopiying? Sleeping thru the night yet?

Muffins:

Muffins, it is that time a new mother is \"confined\" to her house in a bid to recover from childbirth. This is usually one month but may be anytime from 3 weeks up to 40 days depending on the prevailing culture.

Apparently too, it is the period the mother is considered \"unclean\" but me? I take it as a time to recover and to bond with the babe.

Think the Chinese phase is zuo yue. Hope that helps.

Oh. Thanks Andaiz. So, the mother can have time alone in the house with the baby, to get her familiar with her face and looks?

yeah, and the smell -oooh, the baby smell makes me laugh...as you can tell, I'm one of those mummy's who kiss their baby till grandma has to clean their cheeks every few hours

[Muffins]

Yeah. Oh... this reminds me of an incident. Once, when my cuz was in P1, he came home one day to relate this to my auntie:


Cuz: Hi mummy!
Auntie: Hi, sweetie, how was school today?
Cuz: Good! Today we made each other nudies!
Auntie, thinking he said \"nude\": :!: :faint: WHAT!
Cuz: Ya! And my favourite! The Koka one.
Auntie: :oops:

:lol: :rotflmao:

I heard that some people cannot take too much "red date" drink during confinement. Can cause urination pain. Just a caution to share, whether true or not I am not sure. I guess if you have urination pain, just reduce the amount you drink and it will probably go away.

I luv pig stomach pepper soup too. Don't know how to clean, so get the clean one from supermarket. Just need to go back and wash a little more with salt. It is much cleaner than those bought from market.

I luv the mixed pig organs with mee sua soup, and the slice fish with mee sua soup.....mmmm...makes my mouth start watering
