Rojak, is basically a snack made up of mixture of fruits (or other ingredients) with black prawn paste and grounded peanuts as topping. You must not miss this dish when you are in Malaysia. Last week, Orange and I went to a rojak shop located just at the upper level from my office. (I’m working in a shopping podium) It was so sweet of Orange to visit me during lunch time.
You can pick and choose what fruits or fried snack to mix with the rojak prawn paste! Read more…
The increase of fuel price affects other things to increase price as well, especially food. The food in Kuching, in compare to those big cities in West Malaysia, is much more cheaper. But sooner or later, the food here will become more and more expensive. A bowl of kolo mee used to be RM1.50. Slowly increased to RM2.00 - RM2.20. Now, you CANNOT find any kolo mee stall selling kolo mee at the price below RM2.50.
Yea, you heard me. Now, a bowl of kolo mee is at least RM2.50. I ever ate a plain (only a few fish slice and roasted pork) bowl of kolo mee that cost me RM3!! (that’s really overpriced, not like they are adding abalone) But there’s still one place that serve delicious kolo mee, good in quantity and quality. It’s at the upper level of the 3rd Mile wet market.
One day I ordered a bowl of handmade kolo mee (notice the shape of the noodle is slightly flat) and a cup of fresh soya bean, all together only cost me RM3.50; RM2.50 for the kolo mee and RM1.00 for the soya bean drink.
So Kuching folks, if you want to eat something that can make you full and pay less, go to 3rd Mile wet market food stall…hehe
I’m running my diet plan, so normally I will only take solid food during lunch time. And most of the time I prepare my own lunch early in the morning before work. Just imagine how cold the food will be during lunch time. Last month, Orange took leave on the 19th (which is a Saturday and normally he has to work on Saturday morning). So, we decided to have so good food.
Patrolling around 3rd Exchange area, we saw a lot of newly open food shops. At last, we decided to dine in Nyonya Bites. According to Irene, there wasn’t much choice but I think they have add more things to the menu by now.
Orange ordered a Cincaluk fried rice (RM4.90).
Who is the best cook in the world? No doubt, it has to be our own mums. What makes mum’s cooking the best is a very special ingredient that you can’t find any where - LOVE. After mum left this world, I have to take care of myself. It’s been 8 years and 8 months, I never taste her cooking and will never have the chance to do so. I envy my colleagues so much, as they have their lunch box prepared by their mothers every early morning. Whereas, I have to wake up early to prepare my own lunch box. I’m missing my mum’s cooking badly.
One day, Orange and I decided to go to a place that can get mum’s cooking….
I always have to prepare my own lunch box. Eating the same old food is making me bored. So, I was thinking of cooking something new. The first place I head over is to Hochiak! Delicious Asian Food blog. The author always shares simple and interesting recipes. I decided to pick up something easy from the list.
And this is my result: Ikan Bilis Snack
In fact, there is no specific name for this dish. I just called it according to the name given by the author of food blog stated above.
