On top Of Fakse, I Make a home for my dad In denmark. Simple meals, Simple talk... but Yet enough to make him feel a little warmer Outside of his Usual home.

I went for a 4 hour walk this morning, from 9am to 1pm. Walk until legs so tired.... today I did a Westbound walk. Tomorrow I think I will walk the other direction. Copenhagen is good for people who like to shop I suppose. So many shops... but I am not interested. I want to take train go to the outskirts to see the castles, see the rocks and forests and hills. Will probably take a train to Kronburg Castle on Saturday. There is a river here that I have to cross each morning (using a bridge of course). The river reminds me of the Charles River.

Today I found Egg Tofu. That yellow treasure in a plastic round tube. I found it in a small Thai supermarket which was at the end of a street of sex shops and butcher shops. Each tube of egg tofu costs S$4 -- 12 kroners. If my dad knows the price he sure say dun buy, eat cheaper food. But based on my observation skills, he has been eating lots of instant noodles to save money, so in the end I bought 2 tubes of egg tofu, plus a jar of black pepper sauce. Lucky never close credit card account, still can use credit card although sure have to pay some fee lah.

At 5pm, dinner preparations were underway. The menu was:

1. Vegetable Soup
2. Black pepper pork with baby bak choy
3. Pan-fried egg tofu with scrambled egg and tomato sauce.

The tofu not easy to cook. Have to pan fry until crispy on the outside first, then set aside. Then fry the sliced tomatoes until they are lightly brown on the edges but not soft and mushy, then set aside. Beat one egg and add a bit of milk to the egg, pour into pan and fry for a while, then add the tomatoes back in, then add the crispy tofu in for a short flash and season quickly before serving.

The black pepper pork was fantabulicious. First I cut the pork into thin slices... this one i marinated since 3pm. Frying it damn simple lah, but the end result was "outstanding!" Even Sybor would have agreed I'm sure. I also made sure I added some water at the end so that my dad will have sauce to eat with the rice.

The rice, in fact, was the hardest. Because the rice is different from the one I usually use, and the rice cooker also different. So have to agah agah use Oof's Finger Technique, otherwise known as Wu Mi Zhi (Oof Rice Finger). It once again proves reliable, and the rice was firm but moist.

7pm my dad comes back, first thing he says is... Wah! House smell so nice ah!! (black pepper meat smell fills the air...) Then he walks over to the stove and steals a piece of black pepper pork, claiming that he needs to see if it has been adequately seasoned. Yah right. I thought I cooked too much, but we eat until like not enough like that. After dinner still must eat fruits then full. Then I wash the dishes somemore!! The dish soap smells damn nice, lucky lor, because dish soap not nice I will not wash dishes.

Now there is a soccer game on TV. Got Ronaldinho. Reminds me of Naijia leh. Let's see if he does the Ronaldinho Elastico!!
