Kueh Chap (粿汁)

Kueh Chap(粿汁) is one of the Teochew (潮洲) dish. Flat rice noodles served in dark coloured herbal soup together with pork (lean meat and fat) and innards (intestines and stomach), pig skin etc... (This might sounds yucky to some, and definitely it's non halal) and sometimes together with tauhu pok and hard boiled egg. The taste is superb and unique. I had this during my previous trip back home. Too many nice and different food to savour in Sarawak. I still couldn't manage to eat all "the wanted to eat things" in my list. :(

Kueh Chap also available in one particular stall in Penang (from what I know), but the one here tasted totally different from the Kueh Chap in Sarawak :) I still prefer (and love) the Sarawak Kueh Chap ;)

Carcar, Jelly Juice is made from Jellyfish. First, catch a Jellyfish, clean it, put into a blender, add some water, turn on the switch and blend it. Best served chilled.

Our dear Chen here is an expert in making the country's BEST Jelly Juice. I have put down my order. When is your turn?

:D :D *wink wink*

Chen said...

Jellyfish,
Spare part? Luckily u didn't mention spare tyre :P

Wilson,
So nice. Remember to snap some picture :)

Robin,
Somehow the tasty food are always the unhealthy/high cholesterol/oily food :D

Day Dreamer,
But the kueh chap in Penang doesn't taste nice (to my standard)
If u want, no problem..
But jelly juice? Hahhaha... I don't have jellyfish with me at the moment :P

Loc Kee,
They use the different ingredient for the soup (comparing Penang Kueh Chap & Sarawak Kueh Chap)

Alorstar man,
Huh? Available in Alor Setar as well?
Where's the stall? :)
Must go there and try out...

JoeC,
We can eat every part or organ in pig..
Very valuable animal :D

CarCar,
If I visit Singapore, then u must bring me to makan :D

Alicia,
Huh? There's instant kueh chap as well?

Fred,
It's different from bak kut teh..
Must go & try.. Since it's widely available in Sarawak (but not in Sarikei though..)

Day Dreamer,
Walao.. later they will sue me for murdering jellyfish...
Kakakkaa.. I can substitute jellyfish with jellybean but definitely the taste won't be the same :P

glutton rabbit,
The one I had is one of the hawker stall in Kimberley Street. This morning, I noted another hawker stall selling kueh chap as well, near the old Lai Lai in Ayer Itam.

Fish Fish said...

Hehe... me too very like Kueh chap. But it is Kueh without the Chap. :P Hey, next time if we meet in Kuching, let me bring you to the lists of Sarawak food that I like. My favorite stalls. ;)

Chen said...

Fish Fish,
Sure, looking forward to that day :)
We go and sapu the food :D
