A short post between part 1 & part 2 of taiwan trip.

Simple dishes that I had for the weekend. Maybe this looks a little different from what you normally get at home or maybe it's the same but one things for sure, mixture of chinese and malay delicacies are specialised by the nyonya(s) and of course, the baba(s). ;)


Yup, you guessed it right...
I had a fantastic meal today.
Bless the family =)
Above is the 'kacang sup' that most our mother makes and beside is their 'rendang chicken'. It's not too spicy for me, and it tasted wonderful. It tasted just nice when you mixed it with hot white rice. Nyum nyum~


The next dish that i had for lunch today was 'sayur campur'. It's a mixture of carrot, cauliflower, green peas and some other veges. It's just a normal dish actually; most of you might have tasted it at home.


But this, my friend, is their own very best specialty, 'Masak Buah Keluak'. Me myself also have never heard of this dish. It's pretty similiar to the asam pedas that we always have, just that this dish uses chicken and the 'keluak fruit. The fruit is imported from indonesia, and i heard not many know how to enjoy the taste. I don't really prefer it as well. To describe the taste of it, i would say that it's a combination or bitterness and quite flavourful to others who know how to saviour it.


Then i had this chicken feet dish that is originated from the chinese. Although it looks simple, but it's quite nice.








Nothing could beat this home-made cendol! And yes, even the cendol (the green green thingy) is home-made. It was sweet as 1st, but after adding ices and a little bit of cold water into it, marvellous! And the best thing is, it's free! =p No need to travel all the way to jonker and pay rm1.70 for a small bowl of cendol.



After all the food today, i was given one whole cempedak to bring back. It smells so strong and sweet! So right after i reached home, my housemates and i quickly took the knife and cut it open. We were actually unsure of the method to cut it, but being a young innovative men, hehe.. we 'bedah' it and managed to get all the fruits inside, one by one.




And Taaaa Daaaa~~~ the after effects of frying it with flour. My supper for tonight. Manis giler!

Ps: Sorry mayc, I'll get the ice kacang as soon as possible =P
