No videos today. :p Was posting videos of a fire that occured at the squatter colony next to the house. It’s up at …nA : nU : nA : nU…
Still, did enjoy Granny’s bak kut teh (spare rib tea) for dinner. Of course, she used a quick mix i.e. from a packet. Easier that way. Still tasted good and enjoyed it immensely. Better than what is available outside in hawker centres. Although, I’ve yet to try the famous Bak Kut Teh at Green Road.
For technoLAHgist, some Hainanese chilli sauce. A bit grubby looking because this was leftover from lunchtime. How to make it? Pound ginger, chilli, purple shallots with sugar and a little bit of salt. If you do not have a pestle and mortar, use a food blender but be forewarned that the chilli seeds will not be crushed. Also, be careful not to touch face with your hands. Will start to sting like mad. 🙂 Oh yeah! Don’t forget to add some garlic in! Note about preparing the ginger, you have to smash it with the flat part of the knife to bring out the taste before chopping it up into smaller parts.

With videos as well. 🙂 Part I(6.5 MB) and Part II(18.5 MB).
: : What Flavour am I? : :
I taste like Beef.
I taste like beef. I’m probably made of beef. You are what you eat, they say, and if the title didn’t mean something else, I would be a beefeater. I think red meat is good for you. Puts hair on your chest.
(If you were not Beef you would be Alcohol.)
I tashte like Alcohol.
Heh. Heh. I taste like beer. I like beer. Buy me a beer. I’m not drunk, I can drink plenty without… What was I saying? Beer.
Ho Hum.

Was sick at home today with flu. But did managed to capture a video of Granny cooking some stuff.
Stir-fried Chinese Mustard
She cooked it with chopped garlic and pounded dried prawn. This mustard plant is not spicy at all. Very crunchy and not bitter at all, provided that it’s completely cook.
The video clip is here(Part I) but it’s a hefty file of 21.7 MB. Still, it came out well and you can hear Granny in the background speaking in hokkien. It’s a short clip about 40-50 seconds. Note that if you want to cook the dish, don’t forget to add the salt and pepper in! Part II will be up tomorrow. Takes too long to upload from a dial-up so will get a friend to do it tomorrow.
Influenced by technoLAHgist and his videoblog, QuickLAH.
: : Dodol : :
A box of dodol appeared on my desk this morning with a Post-It note on it. ‘Rowena, for Grandma. :).’ From my collegue, Bernadine.
This is the coconut flavoured dodol. What is dodol? Candy! Sweet sweet candy! Make from gula Melaka (Malacca sugar) and coconut milk. Gula melaka is very very thick brown sugar. Granny loves the coconut flavoured one. Can’t find dodol in Kuching as it’s not so popular here. Dodol also comes in durian flavour as well but that’s too strong for either one of us. Plus, your breath will start stinking for the whole day!
Bernadine bought the dodol from Melaka at a shop called Tan Kim Hock. I’ve posted some pictures from a trip there last May. There are a lot of other stuff inside the shop. Coconut and durian candy, dried food, other junk foods, etc. Should make a trip to the shop if you’re ever in Melaka.
