    oh gosh, braised stuffs are my favorite audrey!! esp the intestines…i simply love them. yours look really great. i love your photos, very nicely taken 🙂 are intestines expensive in m’sia? i always like to order extras in my kuay chap but for S$2 (abt RM4.60) its only a pathetic portion 🙁 looks like i must buy my own and braise them, so i can stuff myself silly. haha.
