My mother was great in the kitchen and my father was skilled with the grill and oven. Favorite meals as a kid included Korean short ribs, roast beef hash, stir fried lotus root with pork belly and mushrooms, Chinese spareribs, Chinese poached fish, spaghetti that would make a Sicilian proud, dah bin lo (what you guai lo call "hot pot" ... ), and of course a breakfast with rice, eggs, and Portuguese sausage. I prefer crisping the rice in a pan with the eggs over easy on top of the crispy rice and topped off with a dribble of oyster sauce.
