The only reason I cooked this is to prove myself right. My mother thought ill of the idea of cooking pork with shrimp paste. She did agree afterwards with a satisfied empty plate. I don’t know what her deal is I’ve always cooked food she wasn’t familiar with and they always turn out delicious but she still doubts me.
