I had specially fried the rice with mustard green so that husband could bring a box for my father-in-law who loves mustard green.
This mustard green with olives fried rice has a slight different taste of what I have cooked here, due to the mixture of the western olives which carried a sourish taste.
I specially took a picture of the black seedless olives (above), which I am sure some of the Teochew are familiar with; something which belongs to the "old-world" and are not often being seen these days! For me, it is also a childhood memory of what our grandparents or great-grandparents used to eat with the Teochew porridge - something which is so close to the heart ^o^
Some might say that these preserved black olives are bad for health...well I know! It is just something I wanted to add in for more flavours once in a blue moon; or rather something which just for the old times' sakes! >o<

Hi Peiling
Thanks for dropping-by to leave comments again!
Hmmm...everything started after I bought black olive for your granny! Now, I will always keep some in the fridge for my once in a blue moon black olive rice...brings back old memories... >o<
As for cooking for the elderly, it takes practises to make perfect! I don't even know how to cook when I got married. I started all my trial-an-error after that, and slowly improve my cooking skills ^o*
