I love the flavor and taste of canned abalone and one day I want to eat abalone like 'abalone kings' do: braised in sauce and served whole, like a steak, washed down with a good white wine. Cut with a knife and fork of course. Meantime, it's still cheaper to slice abalone thinly and share with the family. I love this dish. It's such a special treat.Jane Kaylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11605930439183290649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2916295961525889716.post-37538991034396069082010-11-30T14:20:52.330+08:002010-11-30T14:20:52.330+08:00tigerfish,

What you do is just arrange the lettuce on the bottom of the serving plate. Make sure the mushrooms, abalone and gravy is really hot and pour them on top of the greens. So nice of you to want to cook this for your mum. I am sure anything you cook for her will pleases her.Quay Po Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05828992142187594236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2916295961525889716.post-4602454534005556022010-11-30T12:00:19.584+08:002010-11-30T12:00:19.584+08:00This is so simple and yet so delicious!

That is also because both my late hubby and my hubby did not mind my mum staying with us.

I always use canned ones because they are soft already.

We may not be intentionally take our parents for granted but in this day and time and our busy life style we need a reminder now and then that our old folks are not immortal. When they are still here, let's spend as much time with them as possible so that when they are gone, we do not need to carry the baggage of regrets.Quay Po Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05828992142187594236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2916295961525889716.post-49306604761219313882010-11-30T09:25:13.936+08:002010-11-30T09:25:13.936+08:00lequan,

Fortunately, my hubby is so kind to move here instead so that I will not be separated from her.
