Ray had not ever fixed it for me, but I had no doubt it would be DE-LICIOUS! So, this morning, we drove to Hong Kong Market to pickup all that was needed. The evening, around 6:30, Ray got to working in his laboratory (our kitchen)! He decided to make me the Soy Sauce Chicken and my favorite, chicken hearts!!! Here were the results:

He showed me that if you love something you eat or drink, you show your appreciation by doing this:

Beautiful! Very delicious indeed! Makes my mouth water! That will have to go on my meal request list! :)
Soy sauce Gai looks real delicious and Chinese. I always trust Ray makes good food, Chinese, American, may be Italian, Mexico......
To show apperication: I simply tell someone in words.
Japanese show apperication to a bowl of delicious soup: make loud "so" "so" sound while drinking.
