[EDIT @ 5:11 AM]
Alot of you are asking me why you need items 2, 3, 4, &5.
Let me explain.
Hammer - I didn't need mine today. But sometimes when you get an exceptionally long bone, you might need some help shattering it. Also, under these circumstances, you might also want to prepare a wooden chopping block. The last time an ex came over to my house and cracked a crab open with the same hammer, my downstairs neighbour came up and threw a hissy fit. Not a good idea to do this without a sound insulator if you live in a HDB like
moi.
Torchlight - It gets dark in those bones. It's like staring down a tunnel. Trust me, you'd be much better off using a torchlight if you're gonna use the
Straw - easiest way to get the marrow out without risking smile lines. Nobody told you to use your mouth to suck the marrow out. If somebody did, find him and punch his teeth in, these many years of sucking Tulangs probably left him with an ugly ass face already. USE THE STRAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scissors - need I point out the obvious? Unless you want to be flinging tulang sauce into your hair in an attempt to get the meat off the end of the bone,
use scissors. Normal cutlery doesn't work - trust me, you think I haven't tried!? Whatever it is, DO NOT USE YOUR HANDS. Tulang sauce stains are impossible to wash out. I once had to take MC cause I was too embarassed to go to school with orange hands.
Pei Pa Gao - You'll understand when you're done .. *smug* just make sure you don't get started pn your tulang without it.

Okay, but really, here's what NOT to do if you don't wanna get your ass kicked by your mum.

I'm sure you all are horrified at the shit I can put in my mouth sometimes. Heh heh.
I have a stomach of steel babe!! :D
My malay friends have fed me some dodgyass things in my life, like the blackened lungs of a cow.
My Phillipine maids have all (at one point or another) have stared on in shock while I polish off a balut quicker than them, &even my thai friends cringe when I chow down on some stuff even they won't eat.
But overcooked Tulang is really pushing it to a whole new level.
There's the crispy, completely black parts that are just plain bitter (understandable since they're at the point where any further heating would have caused them to spontaneously sublimate)
Then the middle part which kinda tastes rather normal-ish, like how normal marrow tastes like right, except more tasteless?
&(ugh) the dark brown lines you see on the plate? that was like the back part of the marrow. The overcooked but not crispy part and it was FOUL ): That's just how it looks like after you goop it all out with a straw. EEW!!!!! it's like squidgy. and powdery. wah it's just fucking gross. plsplspls take a closer look at the texture so you can understand how disgusted I was. I really wish I still stayed in landed property so I can throw shit out of my window without worrying about the teenage delinquents and oh, NKF patients downstairs - the plate was
so. fucking. disgusting.Pasty. that's what it was -_-
Maybe the people in my family are just
really not fated with microwaves.
My mother still insists that microwaving is the best way to cook eggs despite having already taken two microwaves down with her.
I learnt the hard way why you should NOT open a microwave when it's already on fire.
Heating up a coney dog in the microwave is cool ..
.. when it's not still in the takeaway paperbag -_-
REMINDER:DO NOT OPEN YOUR MICROWAVE WHEN IT IS ALREADY ON FIRE.
RESULTS CAN BE DISASTRIOUS.
In case you don't know, the sudden influx of oxygen will cause your oven to literally EXPLODE.
&I'm sure it's safe to say that my sister &I now know better than to put plastics (they melt) and metal (they spark and make a hell lot of smoke) into anything that emits electric waves intense enough to cook meat.
