Taxi Uncle's Secret Recipes

I met an interesting and friendly taxi uncle on my way home. He was a 企鹅爸爸 who took care of housework, cooking, his two sons (now in their twenties) and his wife (How fortunate!) during her confinement.

He shared some of his tried and tested Baby formula with me and I might give some (if not all) a try someday! :)

1. Way for Baby to sleep soundly at night
Before the new baby steps into the house, apply honey (mixed with lukewarm water) on the lips. Baby will be able to sleep well, without waking up at night!

2. Way to prevent jaundice
Stew 7 dates for 30 mins and drink the water. This will relieve Baby of jaundice.

3. Way to stop cough
Boil odd number of green apples (washed and cut into halves) and drink the water. This will rid Baby or adult of persistent coughs!

He also shared a cooking Tip:

What happens when the soup is too salty?
Adding water would dilute the taste of the soup. Just add in potatoes. Potatoes would absorb the salt and make the soup taste better! :)
