Hey Lucia, you could get together with Wena of mum-mum fame and set up such a one somewhere in Penang. Could I suggest in the Sg Ara area where this place called “Cherry Blossoms” is to be found. Oh yes, the latter is a ala Thai and not Nippon restaurant.

Aduh mak!

Then again, it lead it me this intersting site about InterCourses : an aphrodisiac cookbook. Nice pics! Luv the one with the grapes.

: : Supper at Central Park : :

No, I did not suddenly board a Concorde and flew off to NY to have supper in Central Park. Rather, went for a late night supper on Friday night with Melvin as didn’t have much dinner. Not so stressed out today but somehow, it’s not easy to get rid of stress within one’s body.

After much debate, we decided to settle for teochew porridge. Had this at a small little coffee shop called Central Park Corner. Easiest to spot it is to look for a signboard that says Jollibee. Note : NON-HALAL food.

Everything for RM9.50. Not sure whether it was too much or too little.

Upper left plate

Belly pork cooked in red wine (I think) and soy sauce. Also with kacang botol @ four angled bean cooked in spicy chilly belachan. Phew! It was hot!

Upper right plate

Pickled lettuce from China. Had half a tin between the two of us. Always a firm favourite when eating porridge.

Lower left plate

Veggies are baby kailan cooked with oyster sauce and some sliced Carrots. We also had some fried fish cake and fish balls.

Lower right bowl

The teochew porridge lah!

Teochew Porridge is not thick congee porridge with small rice granules but rather the big rice granules served with a selection of side dishes. Kind of like a buffet style of eating.

Best Teochew Porridge place I’ve had the pleasure of eating at was at this shop near the Pudu Jail in KL. Wah! A lot of variety of food to choose from and they’re open till very very very late at nite. Unfortunately, non-halal.

: : Kuaci : :

Guess she’s desperate in the US. Kuaci is the seeds that Asians eat. Usually white in colour. Gotta take some pics of kuaci soon.

Idea from meesh. 🙂

: : Sweets : :

Reading Josh’s postings on coconut slices made me dig through my library of unused pictures to find this coconut sweet. This is one additive sweet. Remember the light brown sweets that is found in school canteens? I’m amazed my teeth never fell out.

The sweet above was bought from the Tan Kim Hock shop in Malacca but can be found in any sweet shop in Malaysia. Even in the supermarkets, one can find huge packets of this coconut sweet.

Yeah yeah, the picture is blurry. Picture was taken when I was first learning how to use my digicam. So, took it too near. :p

: : You say po-tae-to, I say po-ta-to : :

Granny : Wei! Come down and eat dinner! Got sweet potato lah! Very fresh fresh somemore.

It’s a better day today. My worry has left me a bit so feeling less stressed out. Still, got some more things to do within the next few days i.e. in one weeks time. Another dateline. Hmm….

Still, coming home to an excitable old lady is pretty…err… cute? She had so much to say about the sweet potato the neighbours gave her.

Very fresh, hoh!

Just dig one.

From kebun (farm) in Bau.

Very sweet lah!

Pipeman can only finish one and half lah! His kuli (workers) also!

Well, one thing she sometimes do is add small cut pieces of the boiled sweet potato into the rice cooker. Wah! The rice became so fragrant and sweet. Not to mention that one gets to eat the sweet potatoe as well. Yum!
