Confinement Food

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.

BusyB, thanks for the pointer. Would buy it from the supermarket then. Coarse salt or the refined one we use for cooking? TIA!

I’m trying the kidneys for the first time, for the sake of my health. Got a bit of smell but when eaten still ok. The other delicacy is the hong zao chicken. Yummy!

I don't use coarse salt at home. Used only the refined salt, so I use that for washing. I use a lot though, and rub it without adding too much water initially, then rinse once I'm done with that. While doing the rubbing, I will also tear / cut off the fatty pieces sticking around.

For cooking, I usually put it in boiling water to cook for 10mins, then drain it. This will remove most smell. Cut it up to put in pepper soup to cook (boil the pepper soup 1st and it taste better if the pepper soup is boiled with some pork ribs or the big pork bones).

Try it out and tell me your results! Enjoy!

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:

You see, my auntie thought that my cousin had said that he had made his classmates nude (nudies), when in actual fact, he had said noodles…

My mom will also add some cornstarch to get rid of the \"oiliness\" after washing out with salt. She use the papaya leaves if she can get some to do this job too, supposedly to tenderise the stomach too.

Then she actually will \"fried\" it in a hot dry wok w/o oil/water, this is to \"seal\" the outer layer, then she put a lot (a handful of each type) of cracked black and white peppercorns into the stomach before slow cooking it for like 6 to 8 hours.

She will add a whole chicken (best if can get kampung one= organic) to the last hour of cooking to add flavour.

I had like 1 carton (about 8kg) of ginger, 6 bottles of wine, 6 pig trotters, 10 chickens, lots and lots of fish, 1 set of kidneys, quite a few pork loins, kgs of spinach/kailan/broccoli, trays of eggs (I had about avg 2 eggs per day) etc.

I love confinement food, which my mom cook for us even on a monthly basis (chicken/pig stomach soup, ginger trotters, sesame, ginger and wine kidney/pork/chicken) . :drool:
I think if I were to still eat in such a manner, will be hitting the 150kg mark.

My confinement has ended and I really missed the food.

Hi there, those like me who sometimes do crave for confinement food, found one of the best kidney mee suah at this \"dingy\" (read suspect) :roll: coffee shop along Changi Road. It's just diagonal to the Mosque that is at the junction of Changi Road and Jalan Masjid.


Opens 5pm to 4am only. Also serves ter kah chor and the red wine chicken. Can't comment about the last 2 but the mee suah was superb...mebbe I drank up all that soup so now nursing bad throat.
