Kaya Butter?
You see, I’m half a Cantonese so boiling soup is one of my expertise. Ever since I married to PiggyBeng, I taught him to boil soup the Cantonese way too. PiggyBeng loves drinking soup but he is a very greedy person… he will add a lot of water to his soup so he can drink more bowls. Well, we all know that by adding more water with the same amount of ingredients, the taste will be bland…. more like drinking water than soup…
Another thing is, PiggyBeng often add in the wrong ingredients as he cannot remember what goes with what so conveniently he will dump in whatever he could find. Sometimes his soup taste wierd… 
When I told PiggyBeng his soup ‘tak sedap’ (don’t taste good) he don’t believe me. He will tell me he already put in all the ingredients. You know we have a 10L pressure cooker? Well, PiggyBeng will boil at least 7L of soup on Saturday and finished the whole pot with him drinking most of them. So, to prove to him, I asked one other person who is drinking the soup…. Darrius of course! 
.
Me: Darrius, whose soup is better? Daddy’s or mommy’s?
Darrius: Mommy’s.
Me: Mommy’s soup sweet rite?
Darrius: *Nod*
Me: Daddy’s soup leh?
Darrius: Not sweet one.
.
Today I boiled some Old Yellow Cucumber Soup and I actually added extra dates so the soup was exceptionally sweet and tasty. When PiggyBeng came home I told him about what Darrius said about his soup so he went to ask Darrius.
.
PiggyBeng: Boi, daddy’s soup not nice meh?
Darrius: *shook head*
PiggyBeng: Why??
Darrius: Not sweet.
Me: *giggles*
.
You know what PiggyBeng said? He said Darrius tried to ‘pong-tai-keuk’ or ‘kaya-butter’ me wor…. You think so?
let me try your soup first then i’ll tell you the answer! hahah… but regardless of the real answer, i’m sure you’re happy with the boy’s answer rite?? haha
I agree with you.. soup must be concentrated, kaw kaw… then only shiok to drink! Darrius is old enuf to have good taste in food. And he knows Mummy’s soup is better!!
