Bite On It!

I knew that not many people likes the taste of bitter-gourd… that includes my PiggyBeng. He was pouting when I told him there were slices of bitter-gourd in the egg omelette I just prepared.

Well, bitter-gourd don’t taste that bad if one knows how to get rid of the bitterness. I learned this from my mom. She taught me that before slicing, make sure to clear away the seeds and the entire ‘white cottony’ area. Then sliced it thinly. This will somehow limit the bitter after-taste if there’s any. Sometimes, I don’t even taste the bitterness at all!
