HI Wen,
Just wanted you to know that I tried your Braised chicken feet and mushroom to make wantan mee on Sunday and it was excellent. We all enjoyed it very much at home. I am hoping to try out yor congee here this weekend. Can you tell me what is calrose rice and can I just use normal rice instead?

Hi OM, thanks for trying out my Aunt's recipe. The braised chicken feet recipe is one of our all times favouirte.
Yes you can use all normal rice. Calrose rice is referring to Jap rice. By adding some of that the porridge will be thicker. Happy cooking!
Thanks for the quick reply. I forgot to tell you that I also made your lo mai kai some time back but never managed to let you know. I made 22 portions thinking that it would last a while. I gave my parents, my sister and my MIL. Everyone finished within a few days. That is how good it is. Thanks again. I love your cooking as well as your aunt's. You both are great cooks! I look forward to reading your blog all the time. .

Hi OM,
Thanks for your nice compliments and it's indeed a great encouragement to know that our family's recipes are enjoyed by others too. Thank you!
Will 700ml stock for porridge make it too thick? How much water do u have to add & simmer the porridge in total?
