Tu Kar

The sinful Pork Knuckle, aka Tu Kar. Seeing the Tu Kar will always remind me of that "someone".. And because of her mishap, subsequently each time when I was inside any hotels, I will pay extra attention to the steps. History shouldn't repeat, even though on the different person :P

I'm not a fan of Tu Kar but no harm eating it once in a blue moon... And that blue moon was one and half years ago, in Thailand.

*Photos taken when I was in Hatyai, Thailand @ May 2006*

  19. ?? I could have sworn I posted a comment last night. Oh well......

    I love pigs knuckle! And that looks so tempting! But lately I've stopped myself from eating any land-based animals (as a start) and hopefully will progress to not eating seafood either to be a vegetarian. Hope I succeed!

    But *sigh*, that does look so tempting.

  20. Angel,
    your fault woh..
    cos u asked me whether i got update or not yesterday night. Then i go korek korek and did that update loh.

    See? It's your fault. Hahahahha
    I syiok tidur semalam after sampat with u while u were still lam-ing at the 我和春天有个约会. This morning hoh, feel so lazy to wake up :P

    Purple Moon ah? Then tonight is what moon? Yellow Moon? :P

    LB,
    Tu Kar is hokkien name for Chee Kiok leh. No throwing star here, no picking up star either. Only blue moon, no stars... :P

    Kkkkkk.. purple tei kor is Misti's tei kor? Kkkkkk.. Angel's one is rainbow colour. Ah Ben's one is forever blue-blue tei :P

    Nope, I'm using Jasc Paintshop Pro instead. I edited the photo ages ago and it was inside my draft all these while ;)

    I ditto with u. I'm not that into those fatty-oily-cholesterol-laden food too. I prefer eating the lean meat :)

    SA,
    and very sinful too ;)
    The curse of the pig :D

    Zhu,
    Wanna have some? This is quite a popular dish over here in Malaysia :)

    yenjai,

    Very sinful leh the Chee Kiok..
    This dish is full of curse - the curse of the cholesterol. LOLOL

    moz,
    Hah? U don't eat pork wan ah?
    Then u don't eat bak kut teh and those bak kwa/yoke kong liao? Oh yeah, u can eat the Chic Kut Teh and Chicken meat bak kwa too :P

    ReplyDelete
  23. winniethepooh,
    Is it? Might be the portion u ate in the past is not fresh? I didn't taste anything funny with the pork there :)

    Haven't try out their Pork Burger yet (which is not available in Malaysia).

    mich,
    hand punya? Tu Chiu? Pig has hands meh? I thought all are legs? Hehheheh..

    ehon,
    Wah.. very sinful liao, eating the oink oink fatty tu kar.

    Angel very ocipala mah..
    She wants to Tukar the Tu kar :P

    ReplyDelete
  24. mudpie,
    Yeah, you are correct. Chee keok is the same as Tu Kar.
    Chee Keok = Cantonese.
    Tu Kar = Hokkien ;)

    Oink Oink hugs ;)

    keeyit,
    I prefer bak kut teh (with lean meat, mushroom, yew char koay etc) than tu kar ;)

    hor ny ang moh,
    Let's have some then :D
    I presume u haven't have it for quite a while?

    Enjoy your day, and your meal :)

  25. woof meow,

    kenny,
    Hungry ah? I also hungry at the moment. It's 6 pm liao.

    I presume it is not easy to get Tu Kar in Dubai?

  26. giddy tigress,

    ECL,
    yeah loh, your famous Tu Kar :P

    Thailand is the land of yummy food. Love their food there. *Slurp* Lao Hao Sui liao..

    Furkids,
    Blogger/Blogspot at times chi mah keng wan. At times it swallowed my comments too :(

    Wow, that's a big move. I have few vegetarian friends too. Hope u can succeed :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. I don't like Tu Kar!! But my dad loves it so much... Too oily and not healthy, luckily my dad not consume it anymore...

    ReplyDelete
  28. I like tu kar cho, the sourer the better... wahahahaha!

    ReplyDelete
  29. sean,
    Yeah, it's definitely unhealthy judging from the thick layer of visible fat. :D

    mich,
    ham chu shau i know lah :P
    I presume the "hand" refers to the "front limbs" of the pigs. What's the difference in comparison with the pig knuckle in term of taste or texture? i dunno liao..

    day dreamer,
    wah.. another sinful dishes. LOL
    can tambah nasi wan if eating that. I just want the soup, not the fatty tu kar :P

  33. berberboo,
    Hahaha, u r indeed a faithful pork fan ;). The pork dishes I love the most is bak kut teh, besides the minced pork :)

    woof meow,
    Too many shows available on Astro. Didn't watch that makan show u mentioned. At times it is torturing to watch those makan show cos u can watch but u cannot taste. LOL

    nyonya,
    walao, u made my tummy grumbling and singing liao. *Hungwee*

  34. misti,
    Kkkkk.. your missing purple tei kor reminds me of Angel's missing her bra not long ago (but at the end she managed to find it ~ very sotong liao). Hehehehe

    selba,
    The colour might resemble bak kut teh but the taste is totally different. I prefer bak kut teh as it is much more delicious ;)

    mich,
    hahaha, i'm not really interested in tu kar or tu chiu leh. If someone else order the dish, i will only take the lean meat and omit the fatty part :P
