- “Are you sure you’ll be alright?” she asked me again before she hurriedly walked away as she was late for work. I smiled as I watched her leave me at her favorite coffee shop. My daughter is all grown up.Seeing her as a young adult warmed my heart as much as the warm chai latte that she bought me. As a mom of a new graduate, I was overwhelmed with mixed emotions. I’m still euphoric. Who wouldn’t be? I can’t even begin to tell you how elated I am with her plans. She is graduating with two majors from UC Berkeley, has a summer internship in Washington DC lined up for the summer, is writing an honors thesis while applying to law schools in the fall. As a mom these are the moments we live for.Throughout the week, I walked around the campus, tracing her daily steps. I sat in her favorite Brazilian place, I did our laundry with her in the laundromat (which was my first time to ever be in one; it was scary), I went to her church for Sunday mass. I hung out with her friends; I slept in her room. I was trying to immerse myself with the community that made my daughter grow.So when she told me that there was chicken in the freezer, I welcomed her request for me to bring a piece of our home to her Berkeley home. I took the apron and I cooked an old time favorite of hers: fried chicken a la Jollibee.

Wow,looks really good! I’m new to cooking, what exactly is five star spice?i am an ofw here in hk, not sure how/where to get it here. Any substitutes for that? Thanks in advance!:)
thank you for asking.. let me quote the answer of Erwin above:
it’s Ngo Hiong, and can be found in most groceries in the spice section.
if it’s not available, you can mix the ff:
1 tablespoon Ground anise
1 tablespoon Black peppercorns
1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon Ground cloves
1 tablespoon Fennel seeds
I hope that helps.
