Oyster Omelette

I love the Oh Chean (蠔煎) or oyster omelette I had tonight. The oyster are so gigantic big and juicy. Tua-tua liap. Think about it also I can salivate.

*Slurp*

Bak Chang

It's the time of the year again. Just in case if you "catch no ball", I'm talking about Bak Chang Festival or Duan Wu Jie (端午节) or Dragon Boat Festival. Today is the 5th day of the 5th month in Chinese Lunar Calendar. Actually hoh, I just realised Bak Chang festival was today two days back, after I take a look at the Chinese Lunar Calendar on my iPod Touch. :P

Which one do you prefer?

The healthier mini kee chang or kan sui (alkaline) chung?

Or the bigger bak chang or ham yuk chung?

Regardless which ever chang u like, home made chang is still the BEST. :)

Sibu Night Market

Besides the piggy head and chicken head and neck exotic foodstuff in the Sibu pasar malam @ night market, there are several other yummy mouth watering foodstuff at cheap affordable price.

Setting up and preparing their stalls for the night market.

Wow... they even sell pre-packed economy rice or chap fan. If you are not a fan of those exotic foodstuff, u can buy whole grilled chicken or chicken thigh/drumstick here too. :)

Gigantic meat roll. Frankly speaking, this is the first time I see such gigantic and fat meat roll. Looks yummy though.. I should have buy one lah that day. *Regret*.

Colourful pao or steamed bun. :)

Soya bean drinks and other drinks refilled inside mineral water bottle. Not only that, the mineral drink labels not yet removed are still intact.

The most yummy foodstuff in town... Siew Mai. :)

Deep fried bread or roti goreng daging.

The meat-stuffed kompia, also known as the "chinese burger". Good stuff. Only 40 cents per piece or 5 for RM 2.00 :)

The mouth watering siew mai again. The siew mai here are gigantic with different shape, enable more fillings. :)

Everything is huge here... including the steamed cake. :)

And last but not least... wanna some?

Exotic !!

Grilled chicken head & neck. Dare to eat this? Fear Factor foodstuff. No way. I will give this a miss. Too gross :P

Wah.. This is even more interesting. Piggy head. Btw, this has nothing to do with Swine Flu.

Good to see, but I won't eat it too. Too exotic to be consumed. :)

Arrowhead

I had read about chinese arrowhead (also known as nga ku or chi ku in Cantonese) but never get to taste this little bugger waterchestnut-like thingy in the past as it's not available in my hometown. Poor me.

Finally I get to eat the thick arrowhead chips this year. My goodness.. It's so yummy and addictive. Chomp... chomp... chomp... and within minutes it's all gone. Forget about my favourite potato chips. :P

Too bad.... Arrowhead chips is only available during Chinese New Year period. Sigh.. :(

Potato Talk

Mmmm... First post in 2009 and I'm talking about Potato? Nope, this has nothing to do with Couch Potato. :p

Nothing to do with my dying Potato Plant either, which had already RIP :(

But my favourite potato snacks, presenting...

Lay's Potato Chips. (Used to like Pringles in the past, but that was way back in the past = in the early 90's).

And the Pik-Nik Shoestring potato crisps (original flavour) :)

p/s: Potato, u are still the best, if not the best-est. :)

Winter Solstice

I have totally forgotten that tomorrow is Winter Solstice @ Dong Zhi (冬至/过冬) till I visited Air Itam market this evening (for few bowls a bowl of pipping hot mouth watering delicious air itam longkang laksa) and saw several road side stalls selling the colourful GRB (glutinous rice ball) or tang yuen next to the market. Time really flies. It's the time of the year again...

I haven't made any fish ball tang yuen yet. Will only do so tomorrow (I still have half a packet of glutinous rice flour). The above glutinous rice ball or tang yuen photo was taken during my brother's wedding end of last month, and yeah, I made those tang yuen. ;)

Coconut Jelly

Yeah, Coconut Jelly. I'm not talking about Nata de Coco, but this....

I get to know about the Coconut Jelly (aka Manjung Jelly) from CK Lam's post few days back :)

Bought few coconut jelly back home since I love coconuts at the price of RM 3.70 per coconut (from the coconut shop in Dato Keramat Road, nearby the Patani Road Police Station). Instead of coconut water, u get the smooth and yummy coconut jelly. I'm lovin' it. :)

Marmite Breadstick

While buying my groceries @ Cold Storage today, I saw packets of Marmite Breadsticks on the shelf. I remember reading it somewhere (Can't remember whether is it from Fibrate's blog or somewhere else?). The product is pricey, one small packet for RM 6.99 (product from UK). But since I never tasted it before, and out of curiosity I bought one packet back home.

Errr.... My verdict is... I won't buy it again cos I can hardly taste the marmite. :( I rather have marmite on my bread or toast instead of eating this. Btw, that's just my own personal opinion. Anyone here tasted it before?

Lok Lok @ Padang Brown

Nowadays I seldom take food pictures when dining out at hawker stalls nor restaurants in Penang. But today I decided to bring my camera again. The highlight for the day is none other than my all time favourite, Lok Lok.

Had it together with a colleague of mine at the old hawker stall at Padang Brown, Penang.

The difference of having lok lok here is one can actually sit down and enjoying the lok lok instead of the norm.

A pot of boiling water in the middle of each table, and the boiling water was clear initially...

My all time favourite and something not to be missed out ~ the bloody cockles :)

Next on my list is the sotong + kangkung skewer :)

I don't really fancy the "balls", be it fish balls, meat balls, sotong balls or whatever bola :)

Minum bola, makan bola, tidur bola...

Chili sauce is a MUST :)

Satay sauce ~ Err, not really my cuppa tea sauce

Wantan is available too...

And not forgetting the fried wantan :)

Sotong oh sotong... (no wonder Sotong missing in action for ages...)

And many other varieties which I lazy wanna take photos d, cos I wanna makan :)

And btw, this is not on the menu. The cat was sleeping underneath the table next to the gas tank. I was joking with my colleague, whether the cat is still alive or being "cook" already...

At the end, our pot of clear boiling water changed colour, just like chameleon.. One of the main contributing factor is the bloody cockles :)

And not forgetting, a plate of nyonya beehoon from the nearby stall.

And last but not least, presenting the "backbone" of the dishes, aka the skewers. Nope, that was not the total number of skewers I had. I don't have such a huge stomach :P

Cicerello's Fish & Chips

A visit to Fremantle won't be complete without taking the famous Fish & Chips meal :)

After an eye opening and interesting tour to the Fremantle Prison (will post that up later on), it's time to fill up our tummies... with the Original & Still The Best Fish & Chips @ Cicerello's.

It's time to help ourselves with one set of Seafood and Chips and another set of Fish and Chips. Serving was huge. The above photo was taken after i ate halfway. There are calamari rings, crab sticks, prawns, fish, chips, pineapple and coleslaw. Salt and Vinegar is free of charge. Each sachet of tomato sauce or chili sauce costs 40 cents Oz dollar...

There are ample seagulls around the corner. But if u want to feed them.. think twice. Why so??

Cos hoh, they might S.O.Y. as warned by the signboard. It took me a while to figure out what is S.O.Y., which I presume is "Shit On You" :)

Yeah, this is the place where we sat and had our meal... for almost an hour.

Yeah, we get to enjoy the nice view while having a "hard" time finishing the food... Food was nice, just that the serving was too huge. LOL
