I truly miss home Chinese cooking. I crave steamed duck egg with steamed rice...100 year-old eggs....yum cha. I miss being able to drink caffeinated tea without feeling my roommate's judging stare as the smell of peach oolong tea fills up my section of the room. Or when I order dumplings and the whole room smells like pork and spices. I think it's a delicious smell...but the other day my roommate was talking to her friend on the phone (quite loudly, insensitive) and she complained about how she didn't want to wear a certain piece of clothing to a Chinese restaurant or not go to the restaurant altogether because "the food made her clothes smell awful for days." Well, excuse me, uncultured roommate.
I can't wait to go home and start cooking again. I miss my Lee Kum Kee sauce. <3
