My Mom's Kitchen

Well...It's Sunday. It's my dad's imaginations and suggestion to have a kind of home cook Baked Spice Gravy Pork Belly for our family dinner tonight.

My dad does not cook, he describes to my mom that he would love to eat pork belly which marinates with spices, sauces, whereby the pork belly is put to bake in the oven, with spice gravy.

My mom feels something is challenging in her cooking, after visualised what dad wants for dinner. Mom took out from the fridge a strip of pork belly with ribs...and this is my mom's recipe Baked Spice Gravy Pork Belly all the ingredients are from what she gets from her kitchen.
