ABALONE PORRIDGE

Wow, this expensive delicacy had been in my mother-in-law's mind for a few days. We had never indulged in this before, let alone prepare the porridge. So we waited for the right day to pamper ourselves, a day when all my children would not be back for lunch as they would not appreciate abalones. It would be a costly waste to let them eat and not enjoying it at all. They would even grumble that they had to eat this "fishy" food.

Wow, tasted light and good. My hubby kept nodding his head while cleaning up his bowl and my MIL was all smiles. Haaa, she finally satisfied her craving. All of us went for second helping, and finally the pot was empty.
