prawn fritters

Iab Hui has uploaded another cooking video and I have been a bit slow in translating what he has said in the video. 

I still remember my mother’s za3hê5bian2 and she has passed away over 15 years ago. May God bless my mother’s soul! She was such a good mother and wife “hiang5ci1 liang5bho2 賢妻良母” and many of the Teochew words she has taught me have been hidden deep inside me.
